Do they usually kill people for a laugh on sitcoms?

Yeah, so it's so funny that the sweet little goat is dead, and now Gloria has to scramble to keep her young son from finding out because he loved the goat and would be heartbroken. Haw haw haw!!! Seriously, are all the writers psychopaths?

I will never understand why people think it's funny when animals are abused and/or die. Seriously, WTF? Also, when the place that Cam rented those animals from comes to pick them up, won't they wonder where their goat is? That whole story line was beyond stupid and pointless.

Wasn't that kid played by Phil Collins?

Nobody has mentioned the thing that concerned me most: what the heck was that document Edith signed??
