Oh, it rubbed me the wrong way too and now I love seeing shows like Weeds or Californication, and every time a sit-com has that part of the episode where the main characters explain morals and good values to themselves and the audience, it makes me wanna barf. I don't want to go back to Bob Saget telling me what's right and good in this world.
But, that being said, I cannot help but think that humans design themselves through their own actions and people's reactions to said actions, and through inputs. That means, if I want to know how to act as a babysitter, and my only examples of acceptable behavior as a babysitter comes from American family comedies, I'd be kinda screwed. Is it so wrong to wish that movies to some extent showed us that actions have consequences and that the world, though not a good place, has some inherent justice in it? I miss thinking that it might.
