Taking the Drama out.

Here's an oddity. The one-year drama on public TV here recently came to an end. This is a daily serial, with 15 minute segments six days of the week. Each segment is shown about 3 times in the morning, once at lunch, and then again in the evening. Saturday they run through the whole week, just in case you missed something. I haven't really been watching this one, although Mitsuko watches it daily.

They filled in the final week with various reconciliations. Clearly they were trying to wrap up all the loose ends. For this kind of a portrayal of life, though, I think it's sometimes better to leave the loose ends -- "and they went on," rather than "everything was wonderful."
