P&R rewards investment. It's just okay in the first season or so, but when it becomes good it becomes so good. I love it because it's the opposite of ironic: it's genuinely fond of all of its characters and loves them and their quirks. It's optimistic and upbeat and just makes me feel good when I watch it.

I have a lot of rambles about Press Gang here, though you have to scroll down past other things to see them. Basic premise: a big-time newspaper editor moves back to his hometown and decides to sponsor a youth newspaper run by students at a nearby school. It's a "kid's show," except that it's not at all. By which I mean that it doesn't feature anything parents would find objectionable, and yet it is very adult in the way it views the world.

I do like motivational posts! I should do more of those!
