Near the end, the show got so bad as to have "Eric the Midget" of Howard Stern fame on as a guest. I never watched, but did you see that episode?
I guess what I didn't find realistic was that they tried to cover every 1960s stereotype, not just in one show, but within one family!
Dad's the big blowhard with a heart of gold, Mom is the passive woman who takes a class at community college and starts standing up to dad. Oldest son is the dumb jock who gets sent to Vietnam, Sister is a hippie. Black-guy employed by blowhard father has to convince son not to become a criminal, and saves the TV store from a race riot, etc. etc.
Then you have to believe that the guy owns a TV store, and still hasn't got color in 1967? Then again, he's still selling 1950s sets as new, so maybe he's just an idiot?
To each his own, lol
I'm glad somebody liked it.
