Entertaining as always: a mixed season, with some hits and some misfires.
First, forgo new agers for a while. They are absurd to the point of being impaired. Season six seems fatigued: sensitivity, dolphins and the like echo earlier episodes. Balance becomes an issue for this season, with acrimony working into some material--the Being Green episode was off kilter and strident.
It would be good to see more shows about things we accept as mainstream but do in fact have faulty joints. Stranger Danger made a bold point that child protection has become Manichean. The series really hits target with episodes like these.
The writers might consider lightening up on ideology and focusing on deconstructing things commonly accepted, such as the prison system, litigation culture (the root of political correctness), dumbed down reality TV and the like.
Certainly there are enough contradictions out there to re-energize the series.
Another Great Season!
After five great seasons of the perfect show for thinking people, I was doubtful that P&T could keep up the editorial quality for season 6. Fortunately, I was delightfully mistaken.
You'd think they'd have run out of good subject matter, but that's not the case. This season they tackle such evils as the war on porn, new age medicine, the "green" lifestyle, and sensitivity training.
Who else can hold up the collective American condition so effectively, yet be so entertaining?
I wish every body could get it
Screw PC, they see it and say it for what it is. And the funny thing is, it is just a joke, get it, it's a joke son, just a joke!
