father and son building a log cabin together 🥲, teen girls milking a cow in the snow in their frontier pjs while having a breakdown, competitive moms, baking a casserole with your chicken's eggs and your pig's bacon, sweet Nate's tears, "my name is____ & I suffer from living in the 21st century." the best reality shows I ever watched were all on PBS. educational yet with the interpersonal melodrama of a soap opera. got the DVD from the library!

the loveliest characters and family dynamics. very funny and heartwarming show about a rich family who’s forced to go live in a smalltown motel.
extra points for the tina turner cover, brb crying.

I wonder if there's a word for that feeling of warmth and peace that comes over you when you put on a show that effortlessly grabs and releases your attention. always resolving and ending and beginning again. The cycle and pattern of it all is satisfying to me. It feels too mundane to highlight but these are a few of my constants that im grateful for: - murder she wrote - columbo - kitchen nightmares

Started watching it with my girlfriend last week, & god it’s so sweet. Over the last few years, I’ve had a hidden fantasy that I could settle up in some small remote town away from everything & relearn how to live from the ground up. Northern Exposure is great because it lets me have that fantasy without doing any of the hard parts.
Ed is the best character, obviously

because no one ever said you have to put your fruits and veg in plastic bags. you wash them anyway, right?

when the day didn't exactly go your way and you crack an egg for dinner and you get a double yolk, it's like someone's looking out for you 👀💘

I can legitimately say I would not be the same person I am now if I had never seen Amelie. there's this episode of This American Life called "Spark Bird" - the bird that first sparks someone's interest in/obsession with birding - well I like to refer to "spark movies" and Amelie was it for me. it showed me what cinema could do. I had never seen a movie that encapsulated my worldview but also how I wanted the world to be and look. seeing it as a teenager probably had a lot to do with it - the longing, the quirkiness - but the visual/artist part of me realized movies could do and express things I never thought possible and never had words or images for. it was like a floodgate opened, it was my gateway drug to more movies, art, music, and the way I experienced myself in the world. it was so formative for me it's like my brain soaked it up and I can't help that it's always there permeating everything with more whimsy, flair, and color ✨
