It's very interesting that Kenny becomes the kid with the aggression problems when he's aggressed against in every single episode. He might just be what is known as pathologically shy. If he isn't helped, he'll become compromised in future academic and social settings. And though he's accepted in his little group now, as he moves on, people will likely get tired of his not speaking and might isolate him, said Allen. It's a very entertaining show.
All walks of life watch the show.
At the clinic most of our patients do not get it, said Allen. The episode when Mr. Garrison plans to kill Kathy Lee Gifford is a good example. He is in the book depository, like Lee Harvey Oswald, and attempts to kill her in much the same fashion as the John F. Kennedy assassination. That to me is not funny. Society deems this OK because it is just a cartoon, said Allen.
