        Like most comedies, Family Guy is hit or miss. There's about a quarter that is poignant and hilarious, about a quarter that completely misses the mark, and about 50 % that's good for a chuckle and not much more.

          I hate poignancy in comedy. I would go so far as to say when a comedy attempts to be poignant I want to hurl the TV through the window.

          Probably the hundred worst moments in television history are when M*A*S*H is poignant. Makes my skin crawl.

              Hawkeye was great when he was an unreconstructed smart-as-s. He declined precipitously from the book (in which he's basically a monster) to the movie (in which he's perfectly balanced) to early MASH (about half the time fine) to late MASH (insufferable drip).

              The early Hawkeye would have completely hated the late Hawkeye as a self-important prig.

                  Yeah, but that wasn't cause it was poignant. that's cause it was preachy, sappy, and maudlin.
                  What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                    What's America going to do when there is no one to trade with anymore? I know. Go bankrupt.

                        For the economists out there, what would happen if every foreign government stopped buying US debt, dumped their US dollar reserves, and stopped accepting dollars to denominate transactions?

                        Would it just create a buying opportunity for private entities and nothing would happen to the US economy? Or would we be well and truly f-cked?

                            Lots of prime National Park Land that can be liquidated for dollars on the acre to cover the debt.

                                84,900,000 Acres of National Park Land x $3,000 low end price per acre as an estimate = $254,700,000,000

                                Hmmm. Not going to be enough to wipe out the national debt.
