I guess no one here watches the show? I just watched tonight's episode, and my profession was capably represented yet again by Marlee. (I wonder if she's been forever typecast as an attorney? Is that even a good thing? ) The episode was funny, as usual, but I can see it skate close to sensitive areas involving the Deaf spectrum. (i.e., peddling pencils, handing out Braille stuff...)
My take? Nothing in comedy is sacred, and Deaf people and culture is of no exception. It's refreshing to see shows like this, where we can poke a little bit of fun on ourselves. (I also suspect Marlee had some input in tonight's episode's creative processes.)
Also, doesn't Marlee look a little bit... different? But that's another topic for another day, I guess!
