Episode notes
I read from dramatic monologue to drapery.
The word of the episode is "dramedy".
Wikipedia says that "dramedy" was coined in the 80s with some TV shows which goes against what the book says. Not sure why 1978 was specifically called out.

Here is a list (starting at 1910) of dramedy films.
