Without even having to look first I knew this episode would be destroyed as rated due to the gun message. People are so touchy about this topic.
I disliked it though and it had nothing to do with the message, it's just the usual bad "The Conners" writing.
My weekly examples:
-Landford isn't Chicago, yet the inference is that Dan is "from Chicago". No, he's from Landford, and Landlord is supposed to be 2-3 hours from Chicago.
-Return of the giant 2 1/2 year old. A mystery of science, by far the most advanced 2-year old I've ever seen. Full sentences. Running. 4 1/2 feet tall.
-They show the cop stand-off. Live. This does not happen in modern society since Columbine. Media rules actually. Everyone knows this. Tell me about the last time you saw such a thing on live tv?
Ultimately though, my biggest complaint was that in a "Very Important Episode" they didn't go far enough. Just grazed the topic, that'll be completely ignored next episode. Just like Mark's "addiction" that suddenly no longer exists after one week.
