Re: 420 on the Simpsons
The police chief of the town is also a complete moron. Are all cops morons. No. Its a cartoon and its all for laughs. The pitch for the show to Peter Roth was exactly this, "A hip, animated version of "Leave It to Beaver"." That’s straight from the source, since the head of the communications department at my school is very good friends with Roth. It evolved over time into a more broad, smart, sometimes racy show. But yes, it is still a family situation comedy at heart.
But I agree with you DirtDog that although they can talk of drugs and have single episodes based on drugs FOX does not like to promote drug use, since its bad for advertising. For example, That 70s Show, a FOX series, uses a lot of tricky camera shots and wording when creating "The Circle" scenes or just referencing marijuana use. (They can't even call it a session, gotta call it "The Circle".) It's all based on how FOX feels, not how Matt Groening and the creative staff feels. Thats why the show has gone down hill, cause the more racy and wideopen the stories got, the more FOX has input into how the final product came out.
