The PTC thinks that a show that uses wildcards instead of the word "shit" in its title will in some way be subversive of the kind of traditional family values they care so much about. Unfortunately, this show is likely to be conventional and cliched, and will not subvert any values or assumptions at all. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
