An Alternative to Beavis and Butthead
I’m searching for a non-destructive alternative to humor for my 14 year old. Beavis and Butthead lacks morality and principle. Can you help?

I’m sorry, but you’re barking up the wrong tree, Colonel. The Ask Dr. Science show makes Beavis and Butthead look like the Waltons. You see, the truth is not pretty. Ever dissected a frog? Ever cleaned up the mess after a work study student accidently steps into the target end of a linear accelerator? No, Science is a gruesome affair and consequently, so is my show. See if you can get your son to watch the Disney Channel. Turn the TV volume down and put a Red Fox album on the stereo. That would make Beavis and Butthead look like Chip and Dale.
