    Actually, I thought a little harder and there are two Robert E. Lee High's around here.

    OK. My friend moved he and his family to the mountains in Virginia. His oldest son is attending Robert E. Lee High School.

    Fine. But if this is a fictionalized show, they could have easily avoided the South-won't-let-go-of-the-Civil-War stereotype. But that would require Will Ferrell and his crew to actually think. My bad ...

    this show is actually pretty funny and it has nothing to do with making fun of the south. i'll definitely check out another episode.

    I agree. There were funny moments, but how many episodes will people stick with it to the this dick of a hero. Hard to root for him in any aspect right now (sorry, the crying bit didn't do it for me).
