It was produced right after Reagan's Secretary of the Interior James Watt got fired for controversial remarks he made publicly (some of which are at the cold open of this episode). James Watt's swan song aside, There are some super hilarious moments on this one. Check out the Mr. T Emporium commercial. Anne Bloom does a hilarious spoof of a People Magazine ad, Audrie Neenan's Jacqueline Pennell does a riveting report on the missing Peace Doves at the UN, Ronald Reagan has some grisly fun disposing of colleagues during an approaching storm, There are some cool Sniglets, and last but not least, A brilliant spoof called "The Presidential Awards" which absolutely nails the absurdity of the Oscars and just a small bit of political bias- watch and you'll see. The series regulars at the time were Anne Bloom, Danny Breen, Rich Hall, Mitchell Laurance, Audrie Neenan and Stuart Pankin. The episode was first broadcast in October, 1983.
