Look, I know I'm a little late and I should have posted this when I had the chance, but I think the "Baby Blues" episode, "The Bad Family", is not funny or nice, but rather cold, cruel and disturbing.
As a strong Roman Catholic, I believe that everyone is made in the image and likeness of God. This episode, however, either says our beliefs are a whole load of bull dink or God is evil (can someone say "BS"?). To start things up, both Carl and Melinda find Wanda choking on alcohol and Darrel up a tree. They jump to conclusions with evidence that is not as concrete as it seems. Not knowing Darrel was hiding an egg for the Easter Egg Hunt and Wanda just happened to be choking on her last sip of the Alcohol she was dumping down the sink, they tell the neighbors. They too jump to conclusions. At the mass, the priest calls Darrel and Wanda "Satan", when, in the catholic church, that is the perfect way for a priest or nun to be stripped of his or her holy orders, as the pope does not approve of these people to act unpurified. Even the kids are involved, as Rodney and Megan tell the kids at Sunday School that Darrel and Wanda are Brain Suckers from another planet, as a fantasy of the under-12 audience. Thus, the Easter Egg Hunt does not attract a lot of kids and the old lady kicks Darrel off the team.
For the record, the only good parts of the episode were the following:
[list=1]
Darrel and Wanda "pretending" to be a bad family as a joke and later on developing a habit (though that is just as bad as jumping to conclusions, strong h*** or anything else Carl and Melenda influenced, if their influence is not worse.)
The High School Scene where Zoe is decribed as "From a Bad Family."
The ending, where the nieghbors described Howard, the old lady's son who we do not see, but lives in a treehouse next to his Mother's house, as "The Leader". Looks like THEY had a dirty secret too.
The realism. As mush as it is poisin in my mouth, all of what happened in the episode is real and absolutly what is happening today.
[/list=1]
Sorry if that offended you, or if I was inacurate on the relgious side, but that is how I think.
On my way out, I will show you how I feel right now:
