For sure, seems like we all watched it at some point.

Eventually, you know better - well, most of us here, anyway.

A girlfriend of mine, back in the 90’s, was a single mum to two lovely kids. The daughter, around 12 at the time, was a whip-smart, grade-A student.
Something happened around then - her grades slipped, she was answering back to her teachers etc., to the point where Mum got called in to school.
To cut a long story short - the only thing that had changed was a later bedtime and six months of watching “Eastenders” - an absolute horror-show of a soap opera.
Eastenders privileges were cut instantly, she reverted to original lovely self.
This was over twenty years ago and is an absolutely true story.
The power of TV, particularly shit TV, is not to be underestimated.

So, @BreezerSneezers - he may have been a wonderful father, but he is also somewhat responsible for ruining a whole lot of other families, and not just the ones who appeared on his shit show.

I have a feeling Jerry would not have thought so.

While visiting friends/relatives who did watch JS, I would be as polite as I could when JS was on and just sat there. Internally, I was screaming. Get me the fuck out of here. (At my folk’s place I had --and still have – the exquisite luxury of escaping to my bedroom.)
