Am I missing something, or is the word "protagonist" used in this review where the word "antagonist" should be? (That said, I'm not sure in which category Rosalind really belongs, which is a credit to the show's writers.)

President Barlet and his staff from "The West Wing." That family helped get me through some tough times.

The staff supposedly is, but from what I've heard, there's been little discussion of the on-air talent; in particular, I don't know if Al Madrigal and Aasif Mandvi (both of whom are fantastic, but who seem to have significantly reduced roles of late) are sticking around, or if they are, in what capacity. Likewise,

Martin's absence isn't that surprising, since they only had the current contributors (Schaal, Black and Hodgman), and Martin was never technically a correspondent. On the other hand, Beth Littleford, Rachael Harris, Lauren Weedman, Bob Wiltfong, and a couple other brief-tenured correspondents (Denny Seigel, et alia)

There will never be another, and my nightly routine will never be the same. Godspeed, Mr. Stewart - we'll miss the heck out of you.

Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that. Sorry Mr. Bahari.

The sustained arc of three episodes allowed for more depth and development than

As of "Life Stinks" in 1993 Mel Brooks hadn't made a non-parody film since "The Producers" in 1968? Really? What about "The Twelve Chairs" in 1970? What about "To Be Or Not To Be" in 1982? You could even make the argument that "History of the World, Part 1" in 1981 wasn't really a parody film, though that's splitting
