Read the first essay, very interesting.

My takeaway quote, but maybe it's already obvious to you: "In other words, we no longer watch commercials, we are commercials."

I was slightly shocked when I realised the essay is actually from 2010. I certainly wouldn't have found that insight so evident then.

Oh my goodness, I remember Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. I was 16 when this show came on the air. I watched all of Lear's shows growing up and loved them but this one confused the heck out of me. And yet I still watched it. Laughing while trying to figure out what was going on. Thanks for the jolt to my memory box, Martini.
