I never watched it because most sit-coms are loud, lewd and not very funny. I didn't think this one would be an exception. The promos looked lame so I ignored it and am glad that I did.
As for the kid actor, 19-year-old Angus T. Jones, his calling the show 'filth' and asking people not to watch it will undoubtedly be grounds for the production company to fire him and I assume he wants that to happen. Those who sneer that he should give back his salary for past shows seem to be more incensed over his conversion to Christianity than anything else and are eager to call him a hypocrite. I won't. He earned the money he was paid but no longer wants to perform on the show so he'll no longer be taking the producers money. What's wrong with that? It's his choice. That his faith is his motivation should not be an issue. Had he waited until the show went off the air, then called it 'filth', he would be a hypocrite. This way, he states his opinion and leaves the show with his integrity intact. Good for him.
Conversion? Did you watch any of the interview? He's been a Christian since preschool. I wonder why the parents would send him to Christian schools and then allow him to be on a show that many, he included, consider to be filth.
I agree. He was a kid, after all. It takes a while growing up, finding and formulating your moral boundaries. He was probably also rather proud to be earning a big paycheck, contributing to his family. Lot of varied and conflicting directions for him to work through.
Sounds positive, though, for him to come to this conclusion. The show is astonishingly putrid. It wallows in vileness. Jaw-dropping how far down American culture has devolved, looking at things like that. The whole country is such a cultural sewer nowadays.
