Anyway there was an episode - I think #8 or 9 in the 4th and most recent season - and it was called 'The Survivor', and, well.. in typical LD style it was viciously funny. he even made a 9/11 joke. Who could make a joke out of that subject matter?! Somehow he does. Actually isn't 'Life is Beautiful' a comedy too?

Interestingly I was just reading a review of the Tampa production of The Producers. I guess that Mel Brooks is of the same mindset about getting a laugh from taboos. Here was a great quote from the review:

"This show slaughters every sacred cow you can think of, and the beef never tasted so good. "
