Okay, but how does that justify Michael making judgements about other
people based on his interpretation of their "morality"? (I use quotes
because I don't think that a person's moral center is decided by what
they watch during prime time.) Understanding the world around you and
judging people by what they like to watch on television or two very
different things.
