"They were revealed as parents who neglected their children, spent far too much time on their computers, exhibited anti-social behavior, made their young son do enormous amounts of chores, etc."

I'll change "revealed" to "portrayed". Better? --Jason Gastrich 02:16, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
By the way, I proofread the entire article and fixed its poor grammar. Verting my entire contribution because of a word is awfully impolite.--Jason Gastrich 02:18, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
To use "portrayed" instead of "revealed" is still to inculcate a point-of-view that may or may not be shared by others whom viewed the program. How the couple was "portrayed" or "revealed" is a matter for the viewer to decide, and there's no good reason to single out this particular episode in the manner that it was. - WarriorScribe 02:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
By my reading the reversion was not due to the use of a single word. - WarriorScribe 02:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
