They've chosen to write the show so that it appeals to Mom and Pop, and as a result the show is kind of hamfisted. Naturally Mom and Pop don't see it as hamfisted -- to them it's just funny -- but it's hamfisted to everyone else. It's to televsion what "Mallard Fillmore" is to the newspaper.

I LOVE Mallard Fillmore. The Philly Inq carried it for a few days but it's in the Wash Times every day. It probably goes over a lot of people's heads--mostly liberals, no doubt. I've been a mail subscriber for several years and it's worth 10 times it's 25 cent daily price.

But then I'm a grandmother and I love Rodney Dangerfield too. There, I said it. My son keeps telling me we need to have Tivo--but I'm electronically deprived--so if we aren't home for the next 1/2 Hour News--I'll tape it on my stone-age VCR. :)
