a perfect family. I think it would have been even funnier if the Beverly Hillbillies was included or compared to Gene Simmons. However, the Cosby Show or Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was more relatable in my upbring. According, to society we were the burgesious or higher, when I was growing up. Therefore, shows depicting the perfect family were never tye reason for why our family unit survived and lived above povertylevels. By the same token, coming together as one is what a family unit is…

Weeds is a dramedy that ran on Showtime from 2005-2011. It wasn’t your typical sitcom that had your occasional stoner who got the munchies and freaked out. Weeds brought us into the life of a single mother struggling to support her family, but finds ways to overcome this struggle by selling marijuana. The show was completely about marijuana—dealing, growing, baking, consuming, and all the fun that comes with it. Weeds received both positive and negative feedback from viewers across the…

a plethora of negative opinions of Family Guy, whereas others are huge fans. In Antonia Peacocke’s controversial essay, “Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious,” she portrays the belief that Family Guy is actually more logical and less ignorant, than people believe. I would have to agree with Peacocke because some people fear the things they do not understand, hence their dislike of Family Guy. Although I wasn’t always a fan of Family Guy, like Peacocke and many others…

crime is just as awful as anyone else acting on it. They should not get off the hook just because they have money. A murderer is a murderer. A felon is a felon. Everyone should be treated equally when it comes to the justice of victims and their families. No doubt, high class citizens get away with more offenses than the average human. While the lower class can spend decades in jail and rot away for an offense, the 'superior' group gets away with very little consequences, because money…
