It's already known that Trump would only be a figurehead and that Pence would be in charge of domestic and international policy. How that bit of news was virtually ignored is amazing to me.

"…which would have made a great plot for the last episode, or the entire camp collapsing into the tunnels…"
Wall Street and the 1%…where have I heard that before…oh yeah, from the guy who's telling everyone to vote for Clinton.
Maybe she's waiting to lose some weight before marrying a fat guy so they can have a CBS sitcom.
Gotta give CBS the credit for absolutely owning the market for the traditional TV audience. While everyone else is out chasing key demos, CBS reaches for the broad tent and brings in decent demos along with huge total viewership.
Sure, but the reason for using an old title is to give it some built-in recognition that will hopefully overcome the feeling that it will be a rehash and lack originality. Using a title no one really cares about tilts it more to the "rehash" side since the big nostalgia factor isn't there.
But unlike other sitcoms where returning to the status quo can feel like an artificial device to keep the show going, here it makes sense as being absolutely essential to world they've created. It's pretty brilliant in its construction.
To survive, at a minimum Son of Zorn has to beat Bob's Burgers and the show that will replace it at midseason, Making History, while holding onto at least 65% of the lead-in from The Simpsons. My guess is that the audience will reject this outright.
All in the Family shared the same CBS schedule with Me and the Chimp. Astonishing in retrospect.
Moonbeam City was aimed at adults. This new show looks like its target is exclusively 13-year-old kids.
The list of shows that came and went in the 60s NBC Sunday at 8:30 death slot:
In my view, the fatal weirdness is that an animated character interacting with live actors prevents the kind of chemistry from developing that is absolutely essential for what is predominately a live-action show.
The line from George W. Bush to Sarah Palin to Donald Trump isn't hard to follow.
Hard to say, but when Crackle is adding scripted dramas, we're not there yet.
They did a sequence in Jackass 3 (I think) where they're made up as old men in all kinds of physical distress, so they seem to be aware of that fact.
Wait, they actually did the "viewers gushing about how great the show is" trick? They usually save that for shows that critics think are shit (e.g. Dads).
The Pizza Place thought it was going to be a big star, but after the Pizza Place Goodtime Variety Hour was a huge flop, it couldn't find work and drank itself into oblivion.
"I know nothing" was refrain of a low-ranking German soldier just trying cover his ass. It's a mindset that can be related to universally regardless of time frame, which is why it became so popular.
As you get deeper into the show, you'll see the disdain Klink has for Hilter, despite the public show he makes about kissing up to him. The face Klink makes when he has to say "Heil Hitler" on the phone is hilarious.
Looking at this analysis, it occurs to me that if I was forced to watch the entire prime time schedule of CBS or ABC, I might actually pick CBS, that's how much ABC bores me to death.
