   Preachy maybe, but I thought it was done in a funny way. And like you   
   said, someone needed to step up and say it.   
      
   Going after baby boomers and Fox News directly though - talk about   
   biting the hand that feeds you.  At the end of that episode I turned   
   to my wife and said "I think they're intentionaly trying to get the   
   show cancelled now".   
      
   I was having a lot of trouble making out the lyrics to the sung parts.   
   I have that problem with a lot of musicals, so I turned on the closed   
   captioning...and found that whoever did the captioning must have also   
   been having trouble making out the lyrics because the captions only   
   contained every second line or so.

   My wife said that was a parody of the show "Bridgerton". I've never   
   watched it, so can't confirm.
