Laugh at how sure she is if you want; do not laugh along with the abortion.

The review

Edith Bunker's cousin is on her fourth husband and sure of her politics. The house is loud on purpose. Plenty of the comedy is that sureness, a woman who will not let the room correct her. I can watch that. People who cannot be corrected are funny when the show admits the joke is them.

I will not treat the abortion as a bold laugh. The country argued about whether a comedy could do it. A fourth marriage already says the promises failed. Taking a pregnancy off the board and rolling into the next loud week turns a child into a topic. It is marked adult. I would not leave it running in a room where people are tired and not really watching. The sureness is funny. The loss is not.

Journal

Keep Maude in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 23. Yours can differ.

The glance

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

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

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

December Bride

34 instead of 23

December Bride is still a comedy show, and it scores 34 instead of 23. What you gain is household: A widow, her daughter, and a son-in-law share a house used as the set.

The eight

2
Industry
No trade is on screen; the week is a certain woman holding court at home.
2
Household
It is her fourth marriage, and the abortion turns the child into a topic.
2
Piety
Being sure of her politics does the driving; conscience does not get a veto.
2
Courage
Loud certainty is not a risk of something she would miss if she lost it.
3
Republic
The country fought about the episode, which is noise, not a duty kept to a child.
2
Temperance
The show keeps feeding her sureness, and she rarely puts the speech down.
4
Truth
Four marriages say the promises failed, and the joke is that she stays certain.
1
Stewardship
After the fight, what is left is a loud house and an argument, not the child.

The $64,000 Question

The booth was a national habit of coming back next week for the double.

The review

Nobody in my house needed a second explanation of the booth. You sat in it, you answered, and the money doubled if you came back next week. It was the most watched show in the country in the 1955-56 season, and it started the quiz boom. The person was alone. The next sum was the reason to return.

The quiz scandals broke a few years later. I am not staging a rigged night I did not see. The shape of the hour is already a lesson in wanting the double. There is no family in it. If old clips come up, watch one question and then stop, so the format does not get to do its old trick on you.

You Bet Your Life

34 instead of 23

You Bet Your Life is still a game show show, and it scores 34 instead of 23. What you gain is temperance: The money is small and the questions are easy, so the fever stays low.

The eight

3
Industry
Knowing a subject is used as a ladder, not as anyone's real job.
1
Household
A locked booth is one person and a question, not a family.
2
Piety
Nothing in the booth asks a conscience to stop before the next sum.
3
Courage
Coming back is the hook, not a risk of something they would miss.
3
Republic
It was the most watched hour, and the hour owed the crowd a fever.
1
Temperance
The purse doubled if you returned, which trains the want for next week.
3
Truth
A fair question was the promise, and the quiz scandals broke later.
2
Stewardship
It left a quiz boom, and then the scandals that broke that boom.
