I am so sick of the Irish being shown as stupid, fighting, lazy drunkards. I don't know any Irish person, myself being one too, who is like this and it is time for these stereotypes to stop. For a show that usually preaches peace and togetherness toward all people, it apparently excludes the Irish. Wendy Mathews, Downey This article is copyright 1992 The Los Angeles Times Home Edition.
