Trivia
The discussion of the various meanings of "Ponderosa" pointedly omits any mention of Bonanza (1959), an obvious clue to the cultural ignorance of the millennials and Gen-Xers who are running the company. That show was broadcast on NBC, this show's broadcast network.

Funny show

The cast is strong and the writing is funny. If you like 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Arrested Development, Superstore you will probably like this show.
