My kids watch it regularly now. There are pop culture references that have become dated (Madonna in a bullet bra, some political stuff with the likes of Newt Gingrich), but those pop up maybe once every 3 or so episodes, with a few episodes being exclusively of-the-time references.

The difference is, of course, that those other male celebrities are dreamboats, so the women should be happy to have meaningless several-night stands with them. Fred is creepy looking, so he's not allowed to use his fame to get laid, inflicting his less-than-ideal looks on women that will bang him just because he's…

We just started watching this season, so I'm late to the comment party, but I'm dismayed/confused that I had to go this far down in the thread to find a single comment that was gushing, uncritical praise for the show.

I loved Asimov, but I'm not sure I'd call any of his stuff "great". But he had certainly mastered the art of creating "worthwhile" works, which is nothing to sneeze at. His ability to write clearly and to the point was a tremendous asset to his nonfiction, but a bit of a liability when it came to his fiction - there…

It may have been tokenism, but it's necessary tokenism. Being current-events focused, the show needs castmembers that can convincingly portray public figures in only a few seconds.

I love reading, but your comment was really difficult to read. Despite the ornamental periods, the paragraphs read like one big run-on sentence (probably not helped by the lack of capitalization, except to use ALL CAPS!). If you were writing this on your phone, I understand - my writing decreases dramatically when…

From scanning the comments here, I seem to be in a minority of one in thinking this is one of the worst episodes I've seen in a long, long time. First, the high points: McKinnon's Beiber, the "I know" short, and Drake's performance overall, as everyone here agrees.
