Well said. I watched Superstore with my wife a couple of years ago, and every time the show started, a sense of wonder came over me (and it’s not even that great of a show). Whoa! A real life sitcom! With episodes new enough to make jokes about COVID!

I really miss shows that meaningfully had those old-fashioned things called “episodes” (even Breaking Bad did!), and of course the meeting in the middle between “cinematic” TV and the collapsing aesthetic standards of film has been a pretty bad thing, maybe even for both, considering I prefer to look at e.g. Star Trek: TNG to any later Trek show or, probably, even something as relatively well-mounted as Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon. This isn’t even to get into sitcoms. Though The Good Place still had episodes!
