    The second season is in my queue with two episodes watched. I keep forgetting about it. I guess I really need to get on this.

    FUBAR Canceled by Netflix after 2 Seasons (August 1)

    Well that's too bad. I enjoyed the show.

    And only about 3 decades too late.

    Ian, I don't believe even for a minute that you've had a long-term
    objection to federal funding of tv and radio.

    I absolutely do. And I shouldn't have to explain why. But especially
    once we had cable TV, there was no justification for "public" television >> anymore. (There was never a real justification for public radio.) The
    fact that it all quickly devolved into a left-wing circle jerk just
    piles on to the fundamental reason.

    Ditto.

    The idea that they had to have tax money to produce Sesame Street when the children’s television workshop was selling $1 billion worth of Elmo dolls was offensive.

    This.

    Cool. Glad to see this one is finally coming back.

    I have it but never got around to watching it.
