I couldn't stand this show when it was on


A few times my grandma was watching it when I was a kid, and all I had to do was see at least two or three episodes and I hated it and refused to watch any more. All the kids suffer from "minister's child" syndrome, which is insulting and unfair towards those who really do have a pastor for a dad and aren't suffering from that situation. Over half the kids are spoiled brats, the other half are idiots that just want to get into trouble for no reason at all, and the parents are idiots who don't know how to be parents and don't seem to understand the meaning of the words, "birth control." It became pretty obvious a non-Christian was writing this show and sticking as many stereotypes and veiled insults into the show as they could. Not surprisingly, my grandma stopped watching it after a while too, though it took her longer than it took me.
