    One of my very favorite shows on TV because I relate to every member
    Of the different families. Maurice is my favorite but the rest of them run him a close second. I didn't know there were additional series so I just started watching the latest one. The daughter situation sounds promising. I've never had daily contact with someone on the the spectrum so I'm learning a lot about that. Thanks a million Sundance for a very entertaining and education show. A followup - episode 5 (Nov 23) was one of the best ever.
