"I have to call out the barn party. I began the series with assurances from coworkers and friends that it would make me laugh a lot, but I never anticipated that the show would make me cry, until this moment at the end of season two. When Moira and Johnny crashed Mutt's barn party — telling their kids that they 'have great affection' for them, and that 'tonight, we are dancing as a family' — I was a blubbering mess. It was the first time you could see past the dysfunction to a family that really cares for each other. I knew then that this show had a lot of heart." — Karen Snyder Duke, editor, Voices
