The best sitcom moment you never saw

So my mind started wandering and I thought about that great scene from the short-lived Fox series Action, the one where Jay Mohr's character explains exactly what's wrong with Congress, in one exceptionally entertaining 4 minute clip.

That's why I'm posting it here, in case you missed it

5. Do yourself a favor and watch the clip

8. Never or Ever?

Ever:

Two words: WKRP,Turkeys (I know, not political, but still the BEST ever for a sitcom.)

Never:

I would imagine a pretty damn funny one could be made over a behind the scenes look at the life of BillO. Why the episode where he phones his co-workers to discuss showering techniques would be side-splitting.

9. Better than the clip I posted?

And the WKRP clip was actually scathing commentary about how Korporate Amerika acts like they're doing us a favor when they're really just merchants of death and destruction.

Right?
