Re: 'Gonna have myself a time..."

I was only half kidding. That show is really something, now, so far as
good social criticism goes. I really like the refrain in the Mormon
episode -- dum dum dum dum dum dum....which turned into, dumb dumb dumb
dumb dumb dumb.

What made the Mormon episode so great, though, is that it showed the
appeal of Mormonism and the cultural vacuum it addresses. Wasn't just a
one sided slam.

The goth episode was great too.
