I’m Curious as Well
An answer would be good.
Why is ‘Major Dad’ on ‘Deadwood’?
I clean up the dog puke at 4 a.m. and he gets all the glamour gigs.
UPDATE: YEESH! Even sounds like him…
McRaney, 57, married to actress Delta Burke (they met on her series, “Designing Women,” and recently celebrated their 17th anniversary) and himself a father, is sensitive to the fact that some find the show’s blunt vulgarity offensive.
While early prime time on the networks should be a family-friendly zone, McRaney is eager to make the point that it’s ultimately up to the individual to decide what entertainment to allow into their home.
“It’s a very dangerous thing to do,” he said of further federal regulation of TV content, including proposals that were floated in Washington to extend control from broadcast to cable channels.
“I’m a little tired of government treating us all like children. I’m a conservative and I’m for limited government. This idea of telling me what I can see, what I can read — don’t go there,” McRaney said.
Keep the kids away from “Deadwood” and change channels if you don’t like it, he advised.

Well, yeah, especially since it’s on a premium channel that you have to specially order and pay extra for.
Jeez, even my extremely conservative, extremely religious MIL thinks people should be able to watch what they want on cable…
I clean up the dog puke at 4 a.m. and he gets all the glamour gigs.
But I thought that Major Dad was married to a beautiful lady…….
Awwww, Jeff…how lovely.
But it’s still dog puke at 4,
Listening to him snore.
As I scrape it off the floor
and pray there won’t be more.
The major’s handsome, brave and keen,
But so not into Mr. Clean
Returning carpet to it’s sheen
(or remotely anything between)
If an interruption to his dreams.
So I lumber to the kitchen
Grab the roll of paper towels
And when an errant misstep’s made
Try hard to stifle screams and yowls.
I get the carpet sprayed with enzymes
(Like I’ve done a thousand times)
Tuck the puppies into bed
And lay awake ’til morning chimes.
I’d say something pithy about cats, but one of them hocked a hairball into the toe of my shoe recently.
I didn’t find out until I was racing out the door. Count your blessings.
