Featured review

NO'MAAM in DC.

The second half of this two-parter sees Al arrive in Washington with his NO MA'AM pals in order to address congress and lobby on behalf of Psycho Dad, his favourite TV show, which has been cancelled due to violence. Peggy and Marcy also show up.

While I agree with Al's message that we shouldn't blame real violence on TV and that parents should shoulder much of the responsibility for how their children behave, this episode left me cold. If there's one thing I like less than American sports, it's US politics, so the mere mention of the senate and congress was enough to make me zone out.

I would have preferred it if at least half of the episode had been devoted to showing us the wild party that Kelly and Bud hold while their parents are away: that would have been much more fun.
