One featured a wise-cracking child named “Dennis The Menace,” who always outwitted his bumbling parents, and the other featured a wise-cracking maid named “Hazel,” who always outwitted her bumbling employer. Well, TV has come a long way since audiences were amused by those crude attempts at humor. This year, one of the top new comedies features a wise-cracking child and a wise-cracking butler who are always outwitting the bumbling Governor of an entire State.
