Pass it on

The Big Bang Theory

33Leave it.

The friendship of the lonely is worth something. The laugh spends it. Not with children.

Take controlThis scores 33. The Big Bang Theory cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

Lonely people making a standing dinner is not a small subject. For a minute at a time the show sees it. Then the minute is sold for a laugh at the woman, or at the sex they are not having, or at a mother who believes in God, which the laugh track has already decided is the joke.

Not with a child in the room. Adults who grew up quoting it can notice, on a rewatch, who the laugh is aimed at. If the answer is the neighbor, turn it off and keep the dinner.

Journal

Keep The Big Bang Theory in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 33. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

WandaVision

45 instead of 33

WandaVision is still a comedy show, and it scores 45 instead of 33. What you gain is truth: The show's good turn is admitting the sitcom was a lie with hostages.

The eight

5
Industry
They do science for a living. The show likes the costume of the work more than the work.
4
Household
They eat together. That table is a real loyalty, and it is constantly undercut.
2
Piety
No reverence. Smartness is the status.
3
Courage
The brave thing, sometimes, is a knock on a neighbor's door.
2
Republic
The public is a couch and a lab that never feels funded by anyone.
3
Temperance
The joke is often a body, a mother, an accent.
4
Truth
It is true that brilliant people can be unkind and lonely. It hugs the unkindness.
3
Stewardship
What it might have handed on is friendship. It hands on a catchphrase.

Ozark

He says it is for the family. The family is the hostage of the skill. Adults. Do not take his competence as a virtue.

The review

Marty Byrde is good at a wicked job and the camera likes the goodness of the technique. That is the old temptation of the crime story: if the man is calm and the other criminals are worse, the calm begins to look like a moral. It is not. Wendy's ambition makes the lie even plainer. They are not stuck. They keep choosing the larger version of the trap and filing it under parenthood.

Adults who want a thriller have cleaner ones. If this is already in the house, pause on any scene where he explains that he is doing it for the children, and ask whether the children were consulted, and whether 'for you' is the thing a captor always says.
