Does anyone else like this show? I wish the cursing was taken out, but as far as the messages themselves, I agree with a lot of them. Some may find it offenseive, but as a black man, I would say a fair amount of whats in the show is the truth.

When I saw the commercials for this show..and knowing what the comic strip was like I was saying, "Man, don't I get enough conservitave bashing from the media? Now I have to see it on MY Cartoon Network?!"

...yeah, it was a knee-jerk reaction. I watched it, and it was fantastic! I cannot however recommend it for kids or young teens. Some of it is offensive, but it is hilarious and yes many of the plot points do eventually give a good message (see "The Return of the King" episode).

I like it, when does it start up again?

It STARTED great! But round the third episode I saw that the message was put in first place rather than humor, it felt like I was at a lecture and thought I agree with some of the messages the show just wasn't funny anymore so I stopped watching.

Something of a guilty pleasure (given some of the content). Entertaining and well-executed, art and animation head and shoulders above most American efforts. Not a fan of the original comic strip, but this, this is good.

Not something I watch personally,although I do believe one of the Seattle papers carried the comic on which it was based(I think I remember seeing the comic back when we lived on the west side of
Washington state,though I can't remember if it was the P.I. or brand X
paper)

I watch it if I have the TV on and it shows up, but I never schedule around this show or anything. As far as content goes, at least I keep my TV on. When Moral Orel comes on, I just leave.
