- Quotes
Irma Boyle: ...Harry, sometimes I honestly think you enjoy being miserable.
Harry Boyle: Irma, my children are driving me crazy at home. My partner is killing me in business. Golf bores me. I'm too young for health clubs, and too old to chase girls. So being miserable is the only pleasure I've got left!

Hanna Barbera does adult! I miss this show!
Wow! When I first saw this when I was a kid, I had no idea this was Hanna Barbera. And I though to myself, finally, they made a show down to Earth, and something that reflected society, as the story of a dad, normal, white, tries to live a good life in the '70s despite his hippie son, and teenage liberal daughter, and each episode has a good lesson or a message filled with social commentary, much like The Simpsons, or King Of the Hill in the "Me Generation", or The Flintstones or Jetsons in the 70s. And Ralph is the most unforgettable and perhaps the funniest character in the whole series, as the conservative McCarthyist, as he said things about commies. Yes, it had the feel and sentiments of the Cold War days. Recommended to all those who love The Simpsons, King Of the Hill, and the Adult Swim shows. If they were to remake this, they should make Ralph the same, except they should make him say things about terrorists instead of the Reds. No swearing or violence.
