How to describe the indescribable TERMINAL, USA? "FATHER KNOWS BEST meets PINK FLAMINGOS" (according to the New York Daily News). "A take-off on American sit-coms... that gives new meaning to the term dysfunctional" (or so says the Entertainment Weekly). Could be. Maybe you could do better?

Weird and good.

Great fun for all, especially the disenfranchised youth. I didn't get it at first and then it all clicked and was "all good". It was the after-school special I always wanted to watch.

Loved the rising sun pillow case, great touch. It constantly made me think the grandfather had a gory head injury.
