    I don’t even know where the right place to post this comment is, but, have you seen this Slate ‘investigation’ about why so many American sitcoms have granny square blankets? Made me laugh and think of your blog. http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/07/06/from_the_big_bang_theory_to_roseanne_to_jane_the_virgin_why_do_tv_characters.html
