...screwed-up self in reaction to, and emulation of, his womanizing, boorish dad (a cacklingly exuberant Stacy Keach). For Titus, family is war, and it isn't afraid to drop its audiences into uncomfortable situations with no one-liners to save them, as when Titus has an aids scare and confronts the psychological legacy of his dad's own skirt chasing. Like All in the Family, its model, Titus daringly snatches comedy from the jaws of family drama. "The joy we get," Titus says, "is to scare the hell out of viewers and get us all laughing...

People are having...

...first heard this get-out-and-vote rhetoric in seventh grade, when my civics teacher told our class that, if we didn't vote, we'd forfeit our right to complain. There is no more effective scare tactic on a class filled with 13-year-old Jewish boys, other than to mess with our Bar Mitzvah money.
