* AmericansHateTingle: A number of viewers - particularly Rocci Williams - expressed annoyance at the stereotypical depiction of Gypsies and Travellers. Some feel it borders on ModernMinstrelsy.
--> "How can we let viewers know that they are Gypsies? I know, dress them like they've walked into a 1980's Oxfam."
