Reply #26: I hear ya. It's been tough and finding that balance is the best we can do

I'm all for light entertainments at times. The legacy of Mr. Spelling is a particular brand of cliche-drenched lightweight behavior that-- even if redeemed by occasional "escapist nonsense shows cover things that speak deeply to some" gets absorbed and copycatted by viewers.

I'm sorry-- it does sound judgemental to say that the bulk of his shows, going back to the 70's with Love Boat reinforce a lot of really idiotic stereotypes. It's not "ironic" until a decade or so later..................................


Hey best to you. Sounds like you are really doing the right thing to get through this. :hug: When the mindf**k is too much, we have to quit trying to sort it out and give ourselves a break.
