...FFPF's definition of "family friendly" sounds like a recipe for harmless pabulum (it calls, vaguely, for "uplifting" shows that won't embarrass or offend an "average" viewer). But it worked: Gilmore turns out to be neither crass nor cloying. It is unapologetic about its untraditional family unit yet almost radically innocent. Imagine--a WB comedy about a smart teen who spends more time studying than scoping guys...

...FFPF's definition of "family-friendly" sounds like a recipe for harmless pabulum (it calls, vaguely, for "uplifting" shows that won't embarrass or offend an "average" viewer). But it worked: "Gilmore" turns out to be neither crass nor cloying. On the one hand, it's unapologetic about its untraditional family unit - Lorelai made a mistake, but isn't condemned to a life of torture. On the other, it's practically radical to see a WB comedy about a smart teenage girl whose life doesn't revolve around...

...more than a figure created with a computer drawing program (as it is in the short "Stinky Monkey"), the animal abuse is nothing less than hilarious. Spike and Mike have capitalized on this tendency to dismiss animation as frivolous to show cartoons that, if seriously considered, would deeply offend. For instance, the masturbation scene in "Rick and Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in the World" contains a shot that an audience might find funny in a live action movie if it weren't so completely politically incorrect. But due to the fact that the protagonist is no more than...

...winner but NOOOOOOOOOOOO... Gore blows it off to go back and talk about his signature, reinventing government. D'oh! I think Gore's too freaked by the gun owners in the battleground states to get tough on this. It's a mistake. For whatever gun owners he might offend - and I don't think it would be that many - he'd undercut Bush on "compassion" and look tougher. This was a big omission for Gore...

...become all things to all people. He is youthful but not callow, self-assured but never cocky, intelligent without seeming intellectual. And he remains, in his megastardom, a wary and private man. Woods reveals little about himself that can be exploited and rarely offers opinions that might offend. When he speaks to reporters and fans, his voice stays in a single register, and he often rounds off well-crafted answers with vague platitudes. On the course, he doesn't play to the crowds, even as they close in on him to be next to greatness. Woods has become the world...
