Have you watched this?


Have you ever experienced the "deer in the headlights" experience when watching television?

I find this show to be one of those shows, no matter how hard I try to not watch it, it ends up on the t.v. and I end up watching the whole episode. But I also find that I start yelling at the show, "How can people really be this ignorant?"

The show seems to do a good job of revealing that no matter if you are a conservative or a liberal or somewhere in between, people can be thick-headed and closed-minded to views other than their own. Each episode has a formula ... two families one with rigid rules the other with hardly a rule; one family the kids want more freedom, the other family the kids want more time with their parents; one family the man doesn't help around the house at all; one family the woman is generally "Susie Homemaker".

In the end everyone ends up bending a little, despite their best intentions to "hold true to who they are". If only the whole world could learn this one little lesson.
