Despite some contrived moments, its a show that consistently highlights class and cultural differences. It also shows "shifts" (often,not always) in people's thinking and appreciation for differences. There are at least 2 unfortunate sterotypes the show seems to purposely perpetuate (create?): 1. African-American families are often portrayed with former military, strict, dads, and 2. Folks who are vegetarians and/or politically progressive and/or non-materialistic, are portrayed as "looney hippies". Otherwise, ya gotta see the show! RE: shows with process

Hi Kelsey,
