From the desk
How this season is filed
Hats, fourth-wall asides, and Very Special Episodes as house style. Mayim Bialik’s first sitcom era treats a teen girl’s POV as worth a whole series — Joey’s whoa, Six’s name, and issue-episode maximalism that never whispered. Nineties girlhood comedy with formal playfulness: odd, sincere, and still the show that made a hat look like a personality.
