I know nothing about recent movies, but then I realized I know very little about recent books anyway.

It’s highly sanctimonious while at the same time making running jokes about sexual harassment, homosexuality and cross-dressing. I might be able to excuse the jokes as of their time if it weren’t for the show’s constant preaching and patting itself on the back for its high moral stand. Yeah, right.
