I think I once watched about 6 minutes of "According to Jim". When the first commercial break came on I turned to my wife and was shocked that she wasn't middle-aged. It had felt like 20 years had passed.<BR/><BR/>And the show never darkened my tv screen again. :)Patrick J.

"Foxtrot"; "For Better Of Worst"; any number of the lesser, interchangable family strips. The fact that anyone is complaining about this all of a sudden simply <I>has</I> to be due to the pro-gay message.colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951578369274100285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-15595336667019629642007-06-27T13:03:00.000-04:002007-06-27T13:03:00.000-04:00Uh....are we really arguing that According to Jim ...Uh....are we really arguing that According to Jim is good comedy here?Thomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295245434954376002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-84997705705618941062007-06-27T12:50:00.000-04:002007-06-27T12:50:00.000-04:00I stand corrected.

As rockete...I don't really have a problem with it. As rocketeerz said, most of the time the comedy is spot-on.<BR/><BR/>Where the "outrage" comes in, is where it ceases to be about getting a laugh and becomes some sort of statement.<BR/><BR/>As a white, middle-class, middle-aged man...I'm pretty much the devil, no matter what. If I'm not a sexist, I'm a racist. If I'm not sensitive enough, I'm too sensitive and not "manly".<BR/><BR/>And, it pretty much goes on from there. So, yeah, I can also see where it gets a little tiresome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00630535651066001775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-60282777675087480302007-06-27T10:45:00.000-04:002007-06-27T10:45:00.000-04:00...and I suppose there is always Homer Simpson/Pet......and I suppose there is always Homer Simpson/Peter Griffin.Vergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083468076834391732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-78106826215254488492007-06-27T10:35:00.000-04:002007-06-27T10:35:00.000-04:00I loved Bloom County...

As a husband and father I constantly get to hear commercials on the radio that constantly make the adult male sound like a total idiot and his wife a smart and sassy person who need to lead her dim-bulb husaband down the path of enlightenment.<BR/><BR/>We've also seen TV shows like "According to Jim" where the husband is a pudgy loutish obnoxious moron most of the time and his wife is a slim, pretty, smart, saintly woman who puts up with her husbands consatnt tomfoolerly. <BR/><BR/>Doesn't bother me. All is fun for the most part and that's how I choose to take it. Espcially since often the portrayals are kinda on the money :)Patrick J.
