I love this show. Though the wikipedia entry for this show seems to have changed, here is a summary of the shows topics that used to be up there.
"The series deals with a variety of controversial topics, including abortion, gun control, physical disabilities, racism, sexism, religion, the Israeli/Palestinian situation, terrorism, transsexuality, slavery, incest, sexual harassment in education, the homeless, statutory rape, drug addiction, pedophilia, nuclear proliferation in North Korea, child abuse, mental illness, gay rights, bulimia, prostitution, nazism, necrophilia, and cannibalism."
I still get "Day Man" stuck in my head from time to time ... champion of the sun.
