And yes, that is a real issue of Christianity Today. In fact, there was an article about Ned in my Sunday paper.
I still frequently snack on Nachos Flanders Style - cucumber slices with a dab of cottage cheese on each one. They are so bland it's almost like nonfood but I'm hooked.
I dropped the show when Mrs. Flanders died. I usually do not like such changes but if they had a new voice for her it would have been ok with me.
