So I have a really hard time about watching a consistent show, because honestly, I hardly watch t.v. I like the show House, but don't know when it comes on and I know someone else is going to write about it and I also like Lost, but again, don't know when it comes on. Hopefully I can find something. I do like My Wife and Kids, which is what I watched tonight.
Meet the Kyles: Micheal (dad), Jay (mom), and their children Junior, Claire, and Kady. I just really enjoy they way they portray a family. They are all so sassy, loving, and funny. And you know it's going to be funny with Damon Wayans as the head of the house. I mean, come on, he's hilarious. Anyway, this episode was about Micheal and Jay, getting fed up with the two eldest, Junior and Claire, fighting with each other day and night. They fight about everything, from who gets the juice in the morning, to who's the "stupidest" and so on and so on. Dad finally gets fed up with his bickering children after they fightt over a wallet they find outside, and decides to hold a court session.
Junior was given Kady and her "boyfriend," Franklin as his lawyers, while Claire was given her mother. The witnesses were Junior's girlfriend, Vanessa, and Claire's boyfriend, Tony. Now Franklin and Kady can't be more than 7 or 8 and it was just comical seeing them play actually pretty decent lawyers. Especially Franklin, who knew alot of the court words and whatnot. Lots of cuteness. Anyway, in the end, Micheal sets it straight saying Claire and Junior worked as a team to get that wallet and so should do that more often. He alsoclaims the money from the wallet, but tells the family and significant others that he will treat them to a nice meal.
I thought it was a really cute episode and like I said, I love the homey and loving feel, although sometimes a bit sarcastic, that their family gives off. However, I was wondering about the wallet. It didn't have any ID in it at all? Wouldn't you take it the police station to report it...? I would think that would be the right thing to do. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable taking someone else's money, just because it happened to be by my house. But maybe that's just me.

You make a really good point about the wallet. Sometimes sitcoms will do things that aren't morally or ethically correct, or do things in ways that don't make sense just because, otherwise, they wouldn't have a very interesting show. But what is that teaching people about right and wrong? Do you think it's possible that someone who sees this episode would think that it would be okay to keep a found wallet because that's what they did on the show? Or do you think that they would return it to a police station right away?
Don't worry about watching the same show every week; just think about making connections between what you see on television and the ways we behave in real life, or the ways American culture "works."
