You can't make the same "well meaning, but maybe a little ignorant and outdated" jokes with Liberals in any era as you can with KOTH. To make them Left enough to be a parody, you end up with the malice that undercuts all their beliefs.
I mean, that show had them upset that their adopted African child wasn't black. Which anyone can immediately clock shows them as very terrible people that you can't get around in the same way you can with Hank Hill trying to beat up someone who he thinks insulted his family.
LMAO. I forgot that part. I remember the episode where they had the gardeners and thought they were Mexicans but they were actually Romanians.
Yeah, at the time it was making fun of the Whole Foods pompous liberals, this was years before the 'social justice' bullshit really took off. I remember one scene where the mother forgot her cloth shopping bags and all the other shoppers were whispering judgements when the cashier asked "paper or plastic?". The mother then triumphantly said "none, I'll carry my groceries out by hand, reusable bags are (made by child labor? I can't remember what she said to one-up the liberal grandstanding)". The father was some twink college professor, the daughter was a malcontent activist but was never really depicted as being wrong, and the grandfather was a boomer conservative who was the voice of reason.
