    Wow, I don't know where to begin with this idiotic nonsense!


    But, in your defense, you don't know where to begin with most of the
    idiotic nonsense you post.

    From the article:

    "On balance, I did not enjoy this show. This isn�t particularly
    surprising�I have never enjoyed sitcoms, and have always found it
    difficult to sink my teeth into a show that isn�t serialized or at least features long narrative arcs."

    What is so surprising about a person who doesn't enjoy sitcoms, not
    enjoying this sitcom?

    She doesn't like Homer... well that's the point. He's a buffoon who
    ALWAYS does the wrong thing. You're supposed to think he's an idiot.

    Clark's piece comes across as a stereotypical SJW snowflake rambling
    about a cartoon produced by stereotypical SJW snowflakes. Perhaps her discomfort comes from her subconsciously realizing she is looking in a mirror...

    Somebody should "make" her watch Family Guy and the way it treats Meg.

    And he's just a recent example in a long tradition of sitcom buffoons.
    One of the most beloved characters in sitcom history is Ralph Kramden of
    "The Honeymooners" -- they'd obviously be buddies.

    Sad really; some people don't get it - it's their loss.

    Seems a product of taking life, and oneself, too seriously.

    The author should the funny side, and remind themself that nobody's
    judging them for it - and it they are, sod 'em. :-)
