The later study material's not bad - contemporary slice of life stuff - but I'm glad of other means to access the show that sparked a memory of vocabulary distinctions between paternal versus maternal relatives. And what should I run into but an episode focusing on 家人 vocab! Beh-heh. Figures. Oy, 女儿 的 爸爸 在 哪里 她 不 知道... 他 是 妈妈 的 爸爸, 不 是 孩子 的 - understood enough of the dialogue to see how the poor wee one knows the difference.

Ending with this play on languages instead and wondering if this is an entirely food-related channel.
