The entire episode about gun control was the best discussion about the various viewpoints without getting vitriolic and one-sided that I've seen. Same for the n-word. So nuanced for a 1/2 hour comedy.

Totally agree! My husband watched it last year, and sometimes I'd watch if I happened to be in the room but I didn't mind missing it.

This year? SO BRILLIANT. It's like it's growing in power while Modern Family tries to stay alive.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned last week's episode, which kind of focused on the whole SAHM-WOHM debate. The mom was being harassed by blond yoga moms to do more volunteer stuff and she kept complaining that they didn't understand what it was like to have a job. In the end one of the yoga moms turns out to be a brain surgeon. It was very funny and as a WOHM I thought they did a great job skewering the PTA moms in my overpriced neighborhood (and then, appropriately, skewered that stereotype.) Great show.

That was a really good one too, really reminded me of this board! Thought the main plot of Dre unable to swim and disliking the neighbor was hilarious too. The writing is so good on this show.

OMG, I loved the "remixed" song at the end. Black Jesus, I don't wanna die!

I usually love this show. Started to watch this week and turned it off about 5 minutes in. I do this with all preachy shows.

But it wasn't preachy. They didn't take a side. They presented a variety of biewpoints. You should have watched it.

It wasn't preachy in any sense. PP has tried to say this twice now. Not sure how s/he sees it that way.
