Nostalgia is the only thing explaining high ratings. I tried watching half a dozen episodes and gave up after finding 90% of the jokes unfunny. The only funny parts are the slapstick.
And I know my history. I get the political references. They just are mostly smug, not funny. I say this even though I agree with the politics.
It's only in the context of TV dominated by Green Acres and Hee Haw that anyone could have considered this daring or innovative. Judged any other way, it's dull.
