Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color
56Watch it awake.
A Sunday a house can keep. Not every segment is equal. The habit of a shared story is the good.
The review
In 1961 the anthology moved to NBC and to color, and Sunday night in a great many houses meant this hour. Some weeks it is a frontier story. Some weeks it is animals. Some weeks it is a picture the studio wants you to go see next. The advertisement is real and a parent should say so when it shows up. The rest is a shared story at a set time, which is a rarer good now than it was then.
I would bring it back as a habit before I would bring back most of the comedies of the same years. Watch one nature piece and one story, and say which one told the truth. A child does not need every segment. A child does need an adult on the couch who is watching the same thing. That is the inheritance, more than any single tale.
Journal
Keep Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 56. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety and Republic are the thin ones.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
DuckTales
64 instead of 56
DuckTales is still a family show, and it scores 64 instead of 56. What you gain is courage: They go into the ruin.
The eight
- 6Industry
Nature footage and a story both take work, and the hour does not hide the work of either.
- 7Household
It is aimed at the family in the room, not at one child with a screen and no adult.
- 4Piety
Wonder at an animal or a tale is as close as the hour comes to reverence, and it is real.
- 5Courage
Explorers and heroes take the risks. The living room is asked to sit still, which is a start.
- 4Republic
A national Sunday is a mild public. The debt is to the child who is watching with you.
- 6Temperance
The hour ends. It does not ask the house to stay agitated.
- 6Truth
A nature segment is truer than a silly one, and the show is a mix you can sort out loud.
- 7Stewardship
A house inherits a ritual of watching one thing together, which these years still knew how to do.
