It always dropped all these stupid mainstream liberal political anvils. I remember noticing it alot more as the show went on, and I made the mistake of listening to a creator commentary one time on the season 1 or 2 DVD set and it just confirmed that she thought the show was edgy when actually, it's not, it's pretty tame. I stopped watching it mid-season 4. I might watch some more again but it was just getting too boring.
