Boxing Day

Episode 3.03 ("Total Comedic Immunity"). Written by Lori Furth, Lyssa Graham, Dale Leopold and Jack Mooney.

Episode 3.02 ("Forward Into the Past!"). Written by Lori Furth, Lyssa Graham, Dale Leopold and Jack Mooney.
Lyssa decides to re-animate some characters from the old show (BS de Résistance) to be ready for any election year hijinks. It does not go well. A new playset teaches kids about late-stage capitalism. Jesus has a few heated words about the Middle East. The ACME Corporation shows off some explosive stocking stuffer ideas. We bid a musical farewell to former Rep. Santos. A morning show host (over)-shares holiday travel tips. And Jay is less than pleased with a new bespectacled houseguest.
