I will ask Melissa the same question my friend was unable to answer for me: At whatever point you consider the zenith of the show to have been, what is an example of a hard edged satirical social commentary or observation it made, or even just something really funny that later had to be toned down to avoid offense. I *wish* this show had been substantial and specific enough to be offensive - but I found it to be consistently bland and vague, unsmart and unfunny. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
