Jeannie for the Defense

This is one of those episodes where you need to keep reminding yourself that this is just a sophomoric comedy. Take away the humor and this would be a scathing criticism of how some small rural communities generate most of their local government revenue via the court systems and the police are a de facto revenue agents. The rest of the community following suit in sucking off the system. With the recent riots in reaction to police conduct handling small infractions that escalate, you sadly see that these problems have existed for decades. Social commentary under the guise of entertainment. Still it is a fair episode but gets a nod for it's bite.
