I loved this show for a number of years.

I am all for different stories with different political slants if they are well written, even if they are different than my own.

I couldn't even get through the first 15 minutes of this episode because it was so ham fisted and had a clear political agenda with absolutely not a single ounce of nuance,

It has been at least 20 years since I watched a "sketch" comedy that made made fun of politicians and celebrities regardless of their political leanings. I am in my 50's and I enjoyed SNL up until about 1999 because they mocked everyone equally. I miss those simpler times where people could laugh at themselves, laugh at comedy (realizing it is comedy) and not get offended by way too many innocuous things.

In other words, you can mock my favorite politician(s) or his/her opponents equally and I can laugh at it all if it is done well.

The previews/trailers for the show were not good and missed the mark. I only watched it by chance, so Fox might want to rethink their commercials for the show.
