Star Time #185: One Nation Under a Groove
Normally Star Time eschews politics. In fact this show makes only passing reference to recent events and doesn't mention names. You may nonetheless infer from this episode's "wait-for-it" introduction and portions of Set 4 how the Star Time staff feels about electoral results announced just a couple of hours before its production. Next week we will revert to our usual apolitical stance, so you can tell your meme-lovin' uncle it'll be safe again then.
