I thought of more media where anything can happen and what does happen is ultimately positive:
- Alice in Wonderland, the original book. The recent movies are too commercial for me.
- Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me! The NPR news-game show. Some of us say this is the best show NPR has ever produced in the history of NPR. Truly anything can happen, often uproariously. The podcast is one of the top podcasts on the web, I believe.
- The Amazing Race on CBS. In its 20th year, it still strives to do the new, unusual and unexpected. The host has a sense of humor.
- American Ninja 2015 season. More team spirit than the Olympics, unusual display of positive mutual support, wonderfully different from the Japanese version whee they laugh at the failures. In American version, everyone is supported to simply do the best they can. Last year when teh runner up received no prize money at all, viewers tarted a Kickstart thing and we viewers collected $8,000 for him.
What other media has an uplifting, positive sense of 'anything can happen'?
