how come no one is talking about Brilliant Minds?

so there is this new medical drama show called Brilliant minds, but instead of it being the usual high stakes ER medical drama its about a psychology and neurology ward. "its just house md but- " ok I love house md, but also this show is not house md. The characters and tone of the show is too different to house MD. (also as much as I love house MD, this show aged.... poorly. thats the 2000s for ya!)

Things that stand out to me about this show:

it is an actually REALLY GOOD REPRESENTATION ABOUT MENTAL DISORDERS. all of it is somewhat accurate (for tv standards at least) and doesn't jam everyone into one umbrella like seriously, the show goes out of it's way to showcase the struggles of people with mental disorders without focusing too hard on the shock value

EMPATHY. DEAR GOD IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS RARE IN TERMS OF MENTAL HEALTH. For once it is nice having representation for just treating mental patients with RESPECT AND CARE. WE NEED THIS MORE THAN EVER. Too many people just assume the worst with others when they are in a vulnerable state!

The fact the patient isn't fixed by a miracle drug or procedure and is treated with various types of therapy! I have heard too many times people asking if the meds will "fix them yet" when often times mental health struggles needs a ton of time to recover from.

AND how sometimes you just don't know HOW the disorder started, but they still took time to try and fix it regardless of the cause This happens in real life. sometimes you lose your ability to do something and there is no known cause, and its frustrating being hospitalized for it. The fact this show shown some self restraint instead of doing a bullshit "brilliant doctor magically finds out the cause" thing most medical shows do. and last but not least:

The representation for face blindness and childhood mental health issues.

I was born with a few nerodivergent quirks such as having a type of emotional face blindness. this is common with people with ASD and ADHD. I remember growing up accidentally upsetting people, or people thinking I am stupid or a jerk because I didn't know they were upset. I can recognize faces and who people are, but when it comes to emotional expressions its hard for me to get the nuances of. feel free to make fun of me for enjoying this really corny medical drama show, but god damn that first episode just made me cry with the representation for cognitive therapy. the parts about focusing on the smaller parts of the face like the mouth and eyebrows is accurate. Yall are sleeping on this show. cmon!

Back in the day TBS was sort of known for doing 24 hours of A Christmas Story either on Thanksgiving or Christmas day. But now... Beetlejuice has earned the same fate. That's right. An entire day of the first movie.

I use ESPN on cable to watch F1 and I have just realized because Disney and my provider are having a tantrum I am unable to watch the race next weekend. 🙃 I might cry. Because million/billion dollar companies want more money I'm going to miss watching the races!!

Not sure if lost media has a following here on Tumblr but I don't really know where else to post this information haha. But I have hours upon hours of BabyFirst TV content on VHS, majority of it I'm pretty confident is lost media right now. I've been meaning to get around to digitalizing it but I'm still currently working on editing together adverts from other digitalization efforts, so idk when I'll get around to it or what I'd even post about it?

Not sure what I'm technically allowed to post on YouTube regarding TV segments like those, although I'm sure I can post the bumpers just fine. Not sure if I'm worrying too much about it since the content is so old now haha.

If anyone happens to see this post and has any recommendations on how to preserve this stuff I'd love to know! as I haven't really had to preserve anything yet so I'm not sure the best ways to go about it :)

Really old piece of art that I made before the wotfi

Should I try and remake this

Edit: this was made as a idea that cable was the main threat during the wotfi and Mr puzzles had to help the crew (some context)
