I'm just writing in response to the negative review

Warning: Spoilers
OK, we get it. You don't like things that are contentious. You're watching the wrong show then! To begin with, they didn't serve the non-Kosher cupcakes. Max put 4 non-kosher ones in because she accidentally burnt some. I am not defending her. Furthermore, it's not surprising that Max would think it's okay to do so. A LOT of people don't understand the difference between kosher and non-kosher. Max is the perfect character who would choose to ignore this distinction. She learns her lesson - they don't get paid, and the mother is forgiving. As for the grandmother being a stereotype... um, did you not recognize her? She's the same woman who played Fran's mother on the Nanny and that show is ripe with Jewish stereotypes. Do you have a problem with that show? On that note you can tell with this family due to their appearance, colloquialisms, manner, and approach to certain traditions that they are not like most Jewish families today. They are still very attached to the old ways. There are some Jews today in the world like this. Portraying them that way is not wrong when it's accurate. Now, as for the boys, no, you wouldn't see something like that. However, many young people often break away from tradition. Many are influenced by peers and things they see in the media. I've seen younger children act worse than that with even more oblivious parents. It's comedy. It's nowhere near as bad as other things people try to pass off as comedy. Watch any Adam Sandler movie especially 'That's My Boy' and you'll see. So, I'm hoping by now you've stopped watching because this show is obviously not for you if you can't handle something this tame.

Hilarious Episode
captaincolitis20 February 2012
Hilarious episode. I enjoyed it and was not offended, as others have been. Everything is made fun of these days. The kids were obnoxious, but were very funny, especially the dark haired one. Loved the doctor's wife and the mother (Love Renee Taylor). The Polish woman played by Jennifer Coolidge is always funny and of course her gay boyfriend was quite humorous. I do get tired of them using the words penis and vagina at every opportunity, but the show all in all is funny and well acted. I say lighten up and just go along for the ride...it is all in good fun. And if you can't then change the channel. It is ridiculous to think that all TV shows are tailored to no offend someone...if they were it would be so boring.

Terrible Taste
stagetours20 February 2012
Usually a good show, this episode was in very poor taste. Whose brilliant idea was it to show 2 religious Jewish 13 yr old boys being terribly rude and nasty to the women characters and in fact having them "rap" their disrespectful lines.And all the sexual stuff from young boys wasn't funny. The whole thing was a mess. How about some clever writing instead of this garbage. Its as if your didn't have any adults in the room with the writers. Keep this up and you will lose this fan. Its hard for me to believe the main character would not know how important food being kosher is to religious Jews. I also didn't like the way the grandmother was portrayed. The term stereotype comes to mind in a way I haven't seen on TV in years. And do you really need to show the Mom as someone so stupid she doesn't know her 13 yr old son and his friend are acting out like that. I would really like a response from the show's creator or the writers.
