Well, I suppose USA Today did opine that this is the most intelligent show on tv, though it should be more popular - and certainly more influential ... let's see, so far they've tackled 420 decrim, unethical promo interruptions (above), bad writing (above), bad parenting, and many other social ills. Not bad for a cartoon. The problem, of course, is that the people that should be watching this - the elder generation running things - think that this is just a silly cartoon - like the Simpsons. They should take this to a "taped sitcom" format ASAP - and then address more political issues - Big Brother Statism, Wars on Everything, Destruction of Human Rights, Environment, Excessive Taxes, Petrol Monopoly, Corrupt Law Enforcement, etc ....
