I really liked the original, it had a lovable and diverse cast of characters that you could really get attached to. It dealt with pressing social issues in a way that was kind, compassionate, and entertaining while still keeping it's comedy credentials and not making any one side the butt of the joke.

But, it's 2023, you can't do shows like that anymore. Instead everything has to presented in the form of a lecture, one that takes a divisive side and shames the bulk of the population for wrong-think. Comedy, being a source of satire that often speaks truth to power in a way that is tolerable by the masses and the kings of old is largely dead, partially because people on the left are as literal as the autistic, partially because mental illness is en vogue and they actually claim to be autistic for social media cred.

And mostly because, as much as they claim to be oppressed, they were the ones with the power in the last decade, so rather than criticize their own side they have to constantly punch down... and no one likes to see hard working god fearing people struggling to buy groceries the butt of a joke told by effete Hollywood snobs

You've reached the end.
