Not Necessarily The News was funny as a kid, but the subject material was definitely above my head at the time. I remember laughing at a lot of the cutaway gags or voice overs that didn’t match the actual clips. Just some good ol’ basic comedy. Probably the one reason I ever knew who the Speaker of the House was before I took a class on Speakers of the House in college. Wife and I watched all of the US version of House of Cards and generally liked it. Last season was meh. Started the original British series, but got sidetracked after maybe 2 episodes.
