That Christmas episode.... That table getting bigger and all those dishes from homes all over... that’ll preach year round.
Slightly related, this is one of the things I love about all my British or UK-based shows. I now have all these mini-worlds where favorite characters are doing vaguely good things in the name of a mostly secular holiday spirit. Who needs the Hallmark Channel?
While I’m not sold on rom-communism as a serious philosophy for living, I do believe in the “hero’s arc” that is being promoted (though rarely so recognizable or straightforward IRL) - we do all have dark forests we go through, and I do believe that we aren’t intended to end there (though that, too, sometimes happens).
I’ll always return to “Beard After Dark” when I want a random episode to bring me back to that universe without fully involving me in a storyline; it’s become a personal comfort in the rewatching of it
Interesting! I find it stressful when I do revisit it... Lasso-world is such a bubble of kindness (yes there are exceptions, but they only serve to reinforce the basic value of kindness) that I find many scenes in B.A.D. hard to watch. But I love that you have it in your rotation.
I really love the song they dance/hula hoop to at the end. It's a mood brightener for me.
