I remember that one. I don't think this is even *close* to going too far, considering some of the more recent atrocities which are getting screen time. At least this show just featured one guy doing harmless stuff. He wasn't involved in setting up couples to see which would cheat on each other first, or lying to catty desperate harpies so they would fight to marry him. I can't wait until this particular television trend is over.
