You know, the one with the baby? Not the mamma. I was too young to get these themes, but it's rather cool in hindsight.
Earl, the father, works for Sinclair, a company obsessed with profits to the detriment of the environment.
And we see this in the final episode, which is very dark, especially for a family show. The TDLR is that Earl destroys tons of essential foliage at the behest of his company and causes a nuclear winter—The Ice Age.
What's crazy is that the big boss guy, the triceratops guys, was happy at Earl's task. Because it meant their quarter earnings were hit. Kinda insane, but that's the capitalism we have today.
With all the climate change talk of late, and companies and governments just ignoring it, it seems very prescient today.
