Quite by accident I ran across that on AMC in the middle of the night a
few months back and then got it on tape during it's next scheduled
airing.  Brooks' wit has always been a favorite of mine and this send-up
of "An American Family," I found quite amusing.  I understand in some
quarters it wasn't well received.
 
Cheers
