On creativity, and bittersweetness

Don't miss ZeFrank in his Last Week of The Show. Today's episode is both poignant and pointed, as the best of his whatevertheyares generally are. Trying to find the words to describe my own emotional entanglement with The Show, I'm projected toward polyvalent and semantically fraught expressions from other languages: the Portuguese Saudade and the German Sehnsucht as in Reitz's Heimat series, and Wikipedia points me to the Japanese expression Mono no aware. The archive of the year's shows (mentioned today, and to be sponsored by ??Dewar's??) is gonna be rich territory for mashups.
