Head, meet desk.
Jesus Christ. Two episodes of any show featuring characters in blackface is TWO TOO MANY, but in a series that's less than 20 years old with only twenty-three episodes total, it's just - AAUUUUUGGGGHHH. Seriously, who the fuck thought that was a good idea?
ETA: I should add that in both eps, the people who dress up in blackface are made to look like utter morons - and in the second there's a black character who is brilliant and non-stereotyped. But still. ICK.
