The history of TV has traditionally been not to do anything that would scandalize Grandma or upset Junior.

And what stays in are the most obvious, dumb, visceral, knee jerk, mayhem gags. Any time a character falls down, gets kicked in the face, hit in the head... anything involving head injuries. We work so hard on the wittiest dialog, involving sophisticated references to books and movies, and then what gets a laugh is Homer belching after drinking beer. It keeps you humble.

It took Lamon a long time for things to come together so he could be where he is right now. Of all the four champions he`s the most talented. Lamon`s a real world champion. He`ll fight anyone anywhere. Soon enough people are finally going to realize that he`s the true heavyweight champion of the world. He`ll probably have to beat Vitali to achieve that status. I know he`ll beat Vitali and only then will Lamon get the recognition he deserves.
