I could be wrong but many Simpsons fans seem to embrace MWC humor as well). Anyway, Polk High School was Al "Four touchdowns in a single game" Bundy's alma mater. Their cheerleading squad was named the Polk Dots. Cute, huh? Well, I thought it was clever. Will scripted TV ever regain its former glory? Rich Zak, Chicago Dear WD
