Started reading this for a Malcolm in the Middle video and a lot of thoughts on all the essays so far, the big ideas piquing me so far
-the sitcom family model as a haunting specter shielding us from our own
-I Love Lucy ushering in parasocial relationships and Nathan Fielder-esque blurring of reality/media
-memory as misappropriation
-A Consumer's Republic
-11% of all major tv characters til 90s are working class
