Very clever and fun to read! Thank you! I am thinking the Executive Producer might be deciding soon that we are reaching that point where “no one can be saved” and the show gets pulled. Nuclear Armageddon generated by one of the subplots seems likely.

They have certainly been heavily into auditioning and introducing characters for the role of antichrist. Bill Gates is the current favorite.

Indeed. It is a worry. There is a streak of insanity at play that goes beyond power. Genuine madness.

Also, that extreme close-up of Harris is … creepy as hell. The dead eyes, I suppose.

I can't quite work out if it is fake or not. Possibly not. But it is disturbing. Although not as disturbing as a Harris presidency would be.

And thank you for subscribing.

This was great! 5/5, will read again.

Half-way down, I caught myself thinking: "Gee, I sure wish Pam wakes up and sees Bobby stepping out of the shower".

Well, picking a Swedish show as an example wouldn't have worked. Sad, since there actually were a couple of decent ones despite there only being state TV's two channels.

A kids' show called "Tårtan" (The Cake) was wonderfully absurdist and psychedelic yet still fun for kids. Three sailors go ashore and wind up trying to run a bakery. For some reason, there's also a gorilla living with them. Trailer:
