been watching this circus for last 2 seasons, enjoy all of your observations, truly some of the real hearty laughs I've had lately. So don't know how to put it all into my own words. I too feel embarrassed by my twisted loyalty to this show, no doubt driven by my own dysfunctional childhood, my foolhardy attempts to connect with my own socially inept parents, and my general feeling of being somehow "different" from most. but for the love of pete, this family is the cream of some kind of alien hybrid crop. I think half the reason I watch this crapfest is to feel more "sophisticated". And on that point, they have succeeded beyond my expectations.
