For months our family has been aware of the change in “Gimme a Break,” noting that each episode is one long argument, with none of the tender moments it used to have. On a recent program when the young girl slapped her sweetheart’s face, we all agreed to turn it off for good. I wonder how many lovers will initiate that cruel, ugly move because it seemed acceptable on their favorite program.
