The very first episode (I saw) they made fun of Christians who believe in Abstiance education, portraying us as “weirdos”, and crazyies which sponsor events where Daddies “marry” their Daughters.
I know they make fun of liberals, but they also don’t like social conservatives, apparently.
Yea, but the problem is...it just isn’t funny.
Maybe I’m just too low-brow, but I greatly prefer South Park. Foul and borderline obscene, but it is a riot and takes shots at everyone.
I wanted to like it. Loved King of the Hill but this just doesn’t have the magic. It’s toast.
I believe it is because the characters are too likable. I tuned in wanting to laugh at them but I didn’t.
The concepts are funny though. Adopting an African orphan and getting sent a white kid from South Africa - excellent.
I think Mike Judge made the all too common mistake of equating the recognition of comic potential for comedy itself. Too bad.
How about Whale Wars on Animal Planet? There’s one I didn’t expect to like and now I’m hooked. There’s a show that should make you mad but ends up making you laugh.
I’ll click and support it...but to be honest...I just don’t think its a very good show.
I like the grandfather and the neighbor...but other than that...it just looks like a wasted opportunity so far.
Tried two episodes but didn’t like it - the green machine is the new communism and it’s past being laughable or taken seriously - other tactics are needed.
Most don’t like serious documentaries showing the lack of true science for the energy rationing at our doorstep. The George Carlin clip may be a better approach - satire, humor, boldness, history and common sense. . .

“I’m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists”
My comment on this:
Great perspective on the asshole greenie ideology - compares 4.5 billion year earth to us doing stuff for 200 years - think “The Resilient Earth” by Julian Simon - we think some plastic bags and aluminum cans are going to make a difference - what ego-maniacal thinking - unfortunately demeans mankind (God’s crown of creation) a bit at end which subtly feeds into the anti-human theology of the greens, i.e., “Hate carbon - hate humans”
