No image (yet). Episode

The Elves and the Shoemaker

So depressing to see that 36+ years ago even a kids cartoon could see how greedy Trump is, how anti-union, how he reneges on deals, abuses workers, blames others when he's arrested, etc. etc....  and yet half of us never saw the obvious truth of his personality.  Sadly the "We dislike Don"/ "Donald Tramp is a clown" picket signs & slogans would still work in next month's protest. And the "Tramp" lawyer babbling legalese about "Habeus Corpus" turned out to be weirdly prescient.

Best references: Imelda (Marcos) working in a show shop. The Norma Rae unionizing reference. The Mission Impossible exploding tape.  The Evel Knievel bit was a bit disappointing though, I was expecting Alf to do a crazy stunt when I saw that outfit.

Rapunzel

Most of these episodes have not aged well, but this one bemoaning the consolidation of media, the use of medai to only provide one viewpoint, and the problems with the deregulation of the Reagan administration, framed with the emergence of rap as an anti-establishment method of voicing dissent is sadly pretty prescient.

Profit and Lace Episode

Profit and Lace

The opening of Quark sexually harassing his staff, threatening a firing unless sexual favors are provided is so repulsive, even if it was supposed to then be "balanced" by Nilva trying to force himself on Quark later in the episode.

Decisions

Hope Glenda got off that mountain .... not sure why they included going back after her, if they were just going to send her off running towards some road while people are shooting, without ever mentioning whether she got out alive.....

Sad to see the show got cancelled. Hopefully Queen Latifah will get another show.
