#Everyone:
Jerry Seinfeld thank you for the great Duke University commencement speech. Indeed, I agree with you that humor is a survival skill. When I'm frustrated, my goto solutions are 'Virtue of Work' (eaplained in "The Song Celestial" quote Sir Edwin Arnold) and clean wholesome all age appropriate entertainment (audio, video, text) usually found in 'Old Time Classics' and ofcourse in Jerry Seinfeld, and Jay Leno style of entertainment, so together we can call them 'Quality Classics'. The difference between the 'Classics' and current entertainment offerings is that the latter are extremely violent and lack aesthetic value. This deteoriation fo entertainment is happening due to wokeism that is hurting every type of genre in entertainment be it tv, movies, music, books, or social media. Let me explain.
1. Quality value
"And then there were none" - a fitting quote from the title of Agatha Christie's book, to describe how 'woke trash' is taking over 'classic quality' entertainment. Taking example of, 'Dr. Who' and 'Death in Paradise' which transitioned from being 'classics' to 'woke trash' by forcing lead casting of Ncuti Gatwa and Don Gilet, respectively as a woke attempt at diversity rather than a genuine effort to create engaging content. In its classic version, David Tennant still the best 'DrWho' and Kris Marshall still the best DI in 'DeathInParadise'. Quality entertainment is sacrificed again and again by BBC (UK) PBS (UK) Disney (US) Hollywood et. al. 'telly' TV Movies for the sake of ticking HR category boxes. I refuse to let these misguided decisions taint my viewing experience. Beyond Paradise and Jay Leno's Garage, the occasional documentaries and movies may be the only thing worth watching on BBC (UK) PBS (UK) Disney (US) Hollywood et. al. 'telly' TV Movies right now, while clean wholesome all age appropriate watch classics remain timeless favorites and continue to stand the test of time. Being classics most of these are available for free on
