The nine rules of "Freddish": the positive, inclusive empathic language of Mr Rogers

Somewhat off topic, I just finished Season 1 of “Kidding,” a magnificently dark comedy about a Mr. Rogers-type character faced by the tragedies of everyday life. Jim Carey in the lead role allows himself to age at last into a baffled manbaby; Frank Langella plays his father, trying to protect their lucrative brand; & Catherine Keener plays his sister. The writing explores the conflicts faced by somebody trying to stay “positive” in today’s world. I found it really beautiful & weird.
