With the recent passing of TV legend Norman Lear, I thought it'd be interesting to spotlight the theme songs for the groundbreaking shows that he created and/or developed: the Bunkerverse, if you will, of All in the Family and its spinoffs Maude (which, itself, spun off Good Times) and The Jeffersons, as well as Sanford and Son and One Day at a Time.
The themes were written by top-shelf artists such as Quincy Jones (Sanford), Dave Grusin/Alan & Marilyn Bergman (Good Times), Lee Adams/Charles Strouse (All in the Family), and Jeff Barry and Ja'Net Dubois (The Jeffersons). And they're some of the most memorable theme songs of the era and of the medium.

I promise that I will one day share with you all the knowledge I got from my university class about fairytales. I just need a bit of time and relaxation to re-read and translate my old notes.
But already I want to talk about something very briefly. The change that the “fairytale scholarship” is currently undergoing - how the “folklorist studies” that ruled supreme in the 20th century is now being replaced by a “literary study”.
As you might know, up until these days, the most famous works of fairytale studies were folklorist ones. The Aarne-Thompson classification, for example is a folklorist work. What is a “folklorist study” of fairytales? It is a study that places the so called “folkloric” fairytales before the “literary fairytales”. Basically it deems that the fairytales written as such by authors to be published as works of literature (Perrault, Andersen, etc) are “secondary” fairytales, off-shoots of the “actual” or “original” fairytales - basically adaptations, retellings and reshaping of a pre-existing story. As a result, the literary fairytales are placed aside and only considered as a side-note in “folkloric” studies. Because for the “folklorist” scholars, the truly important fairytales are not those published by authors and writers - but those that you collect by going into the countryside, asking people in villages, summoning the memories of old nurses and grandfathers and storytellers of old. Folklorist scholars of fairytales compare these orals, rural stories of “the folk”, of the people - and by comparing these stories, noticing the differences and similarities depending on the regions, on the countries, on the languages, they try to recreate the various “types” and “categories” of fairytales, a sort of great catalogue, or more specifically a “family tree” of fairytales - because for them, fairytales is all about a cultural genealogy, it is about an “original”, primitive, primordial “ancestor-story” that then somehow spread throughout countries and regions, each person giving a different variation or version of the “ancestor-story”. And in the folklorist study, literary fairytales are just considered petrified, unmovable, unchanging works of art built out of the raw, living material of the “folktales”, but ultimately unimportant in the evolution of actual fairytales and the search for the “true ancestor-story”.
It was the view that ruled the 20th century. And yet, today, people realize that maybe this view isn’t as perfect and as solid as we once thought - and people turn more towards the ancient, pre-Grimm version of studying fairytales. Aka the “literary study”. A type of study that considers that literary fairytales might be actually very important and key elements in the way those stories evolved ; a type of study that focuses mostly on how literary works of fairytales succeeded each other, and how influential they were on each other, before adding the “folktales” as an aside and companion to the literary ones. Literary studies dare to ask the question: “Maybe... maybe there isn’t a primordial ancestor-folkstory from which all others were born? Maybe there were just some really popular literary works inspired by folk tales?”
I need to get into the details later, but I just wanted to make this post to highlight one fact that shows how - and why - such a shift happened. A detail about French fairytales, and Perrault/d’Aulnoy. Let’s just take Perrault.
Perrault wrote his stories. Puss in Boots and Little Thumbling and Donkey Skin and Cinderella and all that. Folklorist studies collected a lot of French “folk fairytales” from various regions that were very similar to Perrault’s stories, and thus decided “These stories are all proofs of a pre-existing folktale that Perrault merely rewrote and reinvented, attributed himself all the merit when all he did was adding a few details here and there, and using an upper-class language”. Remember when I talked about Pierre Dubois? He is a pure example of a folklorist-sided fairytale expert, as he strongly despises Perrault for removing all of the primordial strength, raw power and “simple truths” of fairytales, burying them under over-flowering, hyper-delicate speech and biased upper-class mentalities (or so he says). No need to tell you Dubois worships the Brothers Grimm rather than Perrault.
But nowadays people start to realize... Maybe it doesn’t work like that. Maybe Perrault should be given more credits. Because you see... The folk versions of Perrault tales were collected centuries after Perrault’s work were published. They were collected in a time and place where Perrault’s stories were widespread all throughout France and famous enough to be part of popular culture. It thus makes sense that a lot of “folk tales” of France would be variations of Perrault’s stories - told and retold throughout regions and centuries until they got different enough to look similar but not identical. It also help that the very reason Perrault’s stories got so famous and popular was through a little think called the “Blue Library”.
The “Blue Library” was the most famous collection of “peddling literature”. Because remember a thing - at the end of the 17th/in the early 18th century, books costed quite a bit of money, and not everybody in France could read. The works of Perrault, as a book, was originally aimed at a form of “upper-class” - nobility and the aristocracy were his prime targets - and could usually only be accessed by people with the means and knowledge needed, so educated people with enough money to be able to buy extra-things like books. So how did all the lower folks, the poor people, or those that lived in the countryside did to get their books? (because the spreading of books was then still limited to important urban centers) That was the job of the peddlers, who basically copy-pasted the most popular or famous books in the big cities, and then travelled to small villages, remote countysides and non-urban regions to sell the books there. These peddlers of course had to adapt to the means of their clientele - so they sold their book for cheap, and had to cut corners to do so. Small-format books, made with a cheap, easy to destroy paper ; but more importantly, so that the book would cost less, they usually rewrote the stories they copy-pasted, simplifying them, removing episodes and elements (and adding pretty colorful pictures in them instead of entire pages of text). This is how Perrault’s stories actually spread throughout all the regions of France and managed to touch all the French social classes of the time - the “Blue Library” (the most famous and sold peddling literature collection) turned Perrault’s tales (or rather simplified, reworked versions of his tales) into their best-seller. And you’d be surprise to see how much of the “collected folk tales” of France turn out to come from peddling-edited versions of literary fairytales... Because there are some details, in these “folkloric versions” of Perrault’s tales, details that were actually invented by Perrault with very specific intentions, and that you can find back in those “collected folk tales”, proving that they came from Perrault, and not the reverse.
You see, folklorists always thought that the fairytales came “from the bottom”, were the mark of the lower class (there’s the whole image of the peasants during the evening gathering by the fireside to hear stories), and then were taken back by the upper-class and turned into a form of frivolous entertainment... But now, people start to realize that, in some cases (in this specific case, the Perrault/d’Aulnoy stories and the bulk of French fairytales), it was the reverse: the fairytales came from the top (invented by upper-class and aristocrats as a mean of entertainment) and then “went to the bottom” (were spread among the lower-class and got turned into oral folktales). This is why nowadays people turn to “literary studies” to balance out the very... biased perception folklorist studies gave of the idea of “fairytale history”.
(As a last note, just to mention how looking back at literature changed the viewpoint of fairytales - while most people assumed that Perrault, d’Aulnoy and others merely took inspiration from “nurse tales” and folk tales, the truth is that, when looking at their work, they clearly rather took inspiration from literary sources - mostly Italian literature, and Greco-Roman literary works. And similarly, the myth of the Brothers Grimm “collecting their stories among the simple folks” has been debunked, as their primary sources were actually middle-to-upper class people - and some that actually were of French descents and merely told the brothers modified versions of Perrault’s tales!
But that’s a story for another time...)

My opinion on the survivability of the Dark Pictures Anthology main characters if the games were actual movies:
1) Man of Medan
Fliss -> most likely to survive (Final Girl since she’s the most responsible one)
Alex -> has some plot armor since he’s technically the protagonist by being the leader of the group, but gets some points docked down due to his insecurity
Brad -> I’m neutral with Brad since he’s the innocent one, meaning he’ll either survive because he’s likable or he’ll die to make the audience feel sad
Julia -> likely to die due to her recklessness
Conrad -> jokester character who pissed the villains off, guaranteed dead
FINAL COUNT: Fliss alive. I can see Alex surviving as well. Brad is 50/50.
2) Little Hope
Doesn’t count due to the story. Andrew/Anthony survives by default. However, I can see his story ending with him forgiving himself, I feel that’s the most canon ending.
The only ending I don’t see happening in an actual movie would be the one where he’s arrested, that’s too much of an anticlimax.
3) House of Ashes
Rachel King -> most likely to survive since she has the Final Girl/Ellen Ripley vibes
Eric King -> I’ll give Eric some plot armor here since he’s Rachel’s husband and main love interest, simply because it’d be too much to axe off both of Rachel’s lovers. If Rachel is Ripley, then Eric gets the Corporal Dwayne Hicks-level plot armor (not too strong, but strong enough). So in a real movie, I can see Eric surviving, but getting badly injured during the final showdown.
Salim Othman -> I think Salim would survive purely because I can see Jason sacrificing himself to save Salim in an actual movie. So Salim gets the sacrificial lamb-type plot armor. Also, Salim gets some plot armor since he’s technically the unofficial hero (he discovers the vampires’ weakness, he’s the one pushing for unity, and he’s the most honorable one).
Jason Kolchek -> Jason is intolerant and the asshole of the group, he probably dies by saving Salim (similar to how CJ redeemed himself in “Dawn of the Dead”)
Nick Kay -> he’s the side guy to Eric and Rachel’s relationship and he volunteers for the suicide mission, he’s guaranteed dead.
FINAL COUNT: Rachel, Eric (but injured during the eclipse battle), Salim
4) The Devil in Me
Kate Wilder -> most likely to survive (Final Girl since she’s the most responsible one)
Mark Nestor -> he gets some armor since he’s Kate’s love interest…but since “The Devil in Me” plays out like a “Saw” movie, Mark’s chances of surviving are still pretty low
Jamie Tiergan -> Jamie has “ill-fated supporting character in a horror movie” energy. She likely makes it farther than Charles and Erin, but she’s definitely dying at the midway point.
Charles Lonnit -> he’s the old guy bossing around the younger cast, I don’t see Charles surviving the movie. Especially since he’s the one who brought the crew to the island.
Erin Keenan -> Erin has “innocent, timid girl who the audience would feel sad about if she died first” energy…which essentially means she’s a goner.
FINAL COUNT: Most likely scenario is Kate as the sole survivor. If the director is not as bloodthirsty, then only Kate and Mark survive.
