There was a Smpsons episode which baffled me. Bart was watching a British (English) sitcom, and the family were all really violent to eachother. I mean it was like Itchy and Scratchy, but realistic and involving the whole family.
I spent ages trying to work out what they were referencing. I may even have asked on here, because it genuinely puzzled me.
In the end, I decided it was The Young Ones (or one of the Edmondson/ Mayall spinoffs) translated into a family sitcom. Which they were never meant to be. But then I guess the casual violence of The Young Ones, Filthy Rich & Catflap and Bottom is shocking in its own way.
