Snitch v. Deadbeat

Not all comedy needs to be "fun." Not all comedy needs to be shallow to be "fun." But this episode was beneath the norm for this select group of writers. In other episodes you were able to communicate critical values without being shallow. Previous episodes usually reflected the characters' hearts and minds. Not this episode.

A serious subject, gambling, was not taken seriously, nor was it funny. A funny subject, family drama over value differences, was not funny.

This series can do better than this. Furthermore, curse words are not necessary to make "First Marriage" funny. It is broadcast before "adult" time afterall. I hope next season improves. By the way, can we get rid of the opening dance sequence?
