It does raise the point that media options (a gazillion TV channels, Net Flix, Red Box, You Tube, etc.) are increasing exponentially, and we can''t reasonably pre-screen all this stuff. And yet, we don''t want our kids to unnecessarily be social outcasts who are only allowed to watch "Sound of Music." So we do need reliable reviewers who can do some of the legwork for us. Deal usually is on the money with his reviews, so I can''t explain this one. I haven”t seen Deal”s column, nor the program Glee, so I”m not equipped to comment on that.

On a related note, the missus and I were piping mad when the (usually reliable) KCSJ diocesan newspaper ran Deal Hudson''s review of the Fox show "Glee" over the weekend. After reading the review, any parent would be left thinking this highly toxic show is harmless fun for his or her teenager. All of us who appreciate the artistic value of entertainment have to be constantly on our guard against, well, letting down our guard -- as you so clearly note. Good reminder, Leon.
