It’s not the safest place in fact there is a lot of gang violence in the area. Eddie wants to make it a better place and feels he and his family can achieve this. They end up buying a house that was formally a crack house and fix it up. Just in one episode I can tell that this is a show that isn’t going to be afraid to tackle some tough topics some people might find it odd that it is on the Family Channel, I don’t at all I think this a great family show for people who have kids in their pre teens to teens to enjoy as a family. There are becoming very few family shows left and its just nice to see a new show that has good writing, good acting and make you feel for the family, least that how I felt after only an hour with this people.

The show isn’t horrible, the acting and storyline are pretty mundane though. I don’t think Jamiz Woolveet should have been cast as Matt Scott though. The reason being as I was watching I just had this feeling he was way older then the character who was 15. I wasn’t shocked to find out that he was about 25 or 26 when the series was made. I defiantly think some one younger or at least more believable could have been cast. That’s not to say someone in their mid to late 20’s can’t pull off a teenager because they can just look at Sarah Drew (Everwood).

The show revolves around Matt Scott whose family moves from the city out to the country and he rescues a half wolf/half dog , White Fang. They have various adventures through out the series with both showing devote loyalty to the other.

Its defiantly not a show for everyone, I think some families with young children would enjoy it, and just someone who likes something with a dog in it. Again the show isn’t something you’d watch if you want to see the best acting and storylines but for a lazy day, grab a bag of popcorn and just take it all in stride.

Marge goes off on her own vacation as a result of just be stressed, feeling underappreciated by her family. Bart and Lisa end up going to stay with Marge’s sisters. While Maggie stays at the house with Homer. It’s funny to see Homer so clueless on how to care for Maggie with out Mommy there. Which I think is probably true for most daddys when baby or young child is left soley in their care with out Mommy for the first time. Maggie ends up missing her mother so much that she goes off to search for her. Her poor father is frantic and doesn’t know what to do , when he cant find her.

Meanwhile Bart and Lisa had a scary time at their Aunts apartment and were more then happy to go.

I think this episode had a lot of meaning in it because sometimes in life I think people do take someone close to them for granted. Sometimes it good to just step back and let the person know you appreciate them.

Bart has a terrible day Santa’s little helper eats his homework, he missed the bus, had to walk to school while it was raining the rain stopped when he got in the school. During recess his pants ripped in front of everyone, to top it off he forget his permission slip to go on a filed trip to some chocolate factory. Had to stuff envelops with the principle. When he went home even more bad luck came his way,it started raining agian, he was splashed by water by the returning school bus, his skate board broke, and he feel down a flight of stairs. That’s where he meet the Mifia, and became their bartender. When Bart was late for work because his principle had given him a detention. The Mob paid a visit to Skinner, and the disappeared, it was though he had been knocked off, Bart was even tried, where the “Family” basically said it was all his doing and that he was their leader etc. It turned out Skinner had had a large pile of newspapers fall on him and had been trapped in his own garage the entire time.

I thought this was a good episode of the Simpson’s. Lisa will soon be turning 8 and she really wants a present from her brother. Who as typical puts it off and Lisa is deeply hurt by it; in the end with the help of “Michael Jackson” he writes a song for his sister. I thought the song was really cool and catchy.

Homer mean while was sent to an insane Asylum, which had to do with him wearing a pink shirt to work, that’s where he meet the man who thought he was Michael Jackson.
