That show Married With Children depresses me. How sad that family was. What a depressing take that some people think that show was funny or representative of a American Family. Yes give me my rose colored glasses any day. I am happy to be a puritan if that is what you want to call it!

No need for an apology Tracy Morgan is a damn funny comedian that has said MUCH worse in the past.

Tracy Morgan was great in SNL,30 Rock and is a goldmine for off the cuff remarks,no harm no foul, Go TRacy !!!!

No need to go into my life story, but I grew up to be a pretty decent and moral person overall... and I'm actually the least successful of the siblings (by certain standards), so we all turned out okay! Our parents were/are pretty liberal, and trusted their kids to process things appropriately. It worked out alright, I think.

And yes, I love Chelsea Handler too - watch her show occasionally (maybe a few times a month), and I've skimmed her first book. Still meaning to read the whole thing, so maybe I'll get around to that soon. She's a very funny and insightful woman, IMO.

You know how it goes. We can say it, you can't. Gotta worry about their house and make noise. Maybe they won't notice our house is just as bad.
Yes, lets see some comic refer to Michelle is a sexually insensitive way.
Or what about Sasha and Malia? Surely Palins two young daughters have had their share of disgusting comments from the haters on the left.

Notice how republicans are very respectful of Obama's daughters. You never hear a bad word uttered in the press. Palins one daughter is 16 and there were all kinds of horrible things said about her.

It's not about being a puritan, it's about failing to see humor where it's intended... and I don't think anyone considered them a "typical family," LOL. Not that there's such a thing, when you think about the diversity in this country. Makes one wonder what you would consider funny, and what you consider a typical "American family" - but I don't really care, to be honest.

So go ahead and be sad & depressed about it, but I personally got some good belly-laughs out of that show. We clearly have differing tastes in terms of comedy, and that's perfectly okay... lots of things don't make me laugh, and I'm still fine with other people enjoying them. For example, "The Office?" Don't get it, don't want to, but I do like Steve Carrell's movies!

That show was warped. It is sad that part of our society is so perverse. Some people have a distorted idea of what is funny IMO.

Yes, I'm happy to say I enjoy a much different kind of humor.

and he actually said what a lot of males think. most males see palin as 1. an idiot 2. a sex object.

while she does nothing for me, i know she turns a lot of guys on. they even have porn stars after her. Nail Palin is one of the giants in the industry.

he told the truth.

Too funny!!!Tracy Morgan is a talented Comedian, not a Politician. Get over it, Sarah should take it as a compliment. Adult humor is for adults, not political discussions.
