"Reaction to a barely functional cartoon family is as varied as the life experiences and attitudes of the viewers who

watch it. If you are a fan of

animated films, the cartoon may be appealing because it reminds you of your

childhood. If you grew up in a similar home, you may laugh about like situations involving your family. If you enjoy

watching the symbols of popular culture being nudged off their

pedestals, you will appreciate the humor of the

program. But if you think cartoon characters should be reserved for children and their concerns, you probably will

be offended at the many adult themes and jokes expressed during the half

-

hour."
