Chapter 9 - "That Was We"
I was resistant at first, but they really were us a lot of the time. And the show didn't get enough credit for how creatively nonlinear it was. I got so I would cry everytime I heard the closing credits music.

Chapter 8 - "Many Me" Late "aughties", early 2010s
Speaking of underrated. A powerhouse combination of acting talent, including early roles for Keir Gilchrest and Brie Larson and a scene-stealing appearance by a pre-fame Viola Davis

An underrated gem that consistently defied stereotypes. Clearly Bryan Cranston's marquee role...

I've been watching #SNL for 40 years, and I still quote #ChapelleShow but there's never been a better sketch comedy show than In Living Color

Chapter 4 - "To Baldly Go..." Late 80s, early 90s
I was almost 12 when this premiered and it BLEW MY MIND

Is there any place to look up all the subliminal messaging in "Divide & Conquer"? I could tell it was about mental health...

Chapter 4 - "The Golden Age of Sitcoms" Mid 80s
We didn't know the bad secrets of the man behind it, but this show was a huge and important unifying moment in American culture.

And it broke my parent's boycott of network television!

Who wouldn't want to hang out with this guy?

Did you know Delany specifically intended "Triton" to be considered "in coversation" with "The Disposessed"?

Part 1 - Late 70s, early 80s
There wasn't much television in the early years on our old, cheap, B&W TV, with my flower-child parents, and as far as I knew, PBS was all that existed. It was me, this man, and the Land of Make Believe:

I feel like @thebookloft.bsky.social used to be 24 hours back in the pre-pandemic days. Maybe it was just that they stayed open super late. I never saw them closed....
