For sure--writing, acting, and production values all top-notch, and some of the most genuinely fun bits I've seen in a long while. Sadly doesn't look like there'll be a revival (I guess one can always hope).

"Forced" is a good word for it, both the humor and the commentary--the latter strikes me with such a plasticky, artificial tone (so to speak) that I find myself put off even by things I agree with or approve of.
