Really strange and interesting episode of "The West Wing" last night -- it started off thanking fictitious "underwriters," as if we were watching PBS and not NBC. And then the entire episode was essentially a parody of PBS's Frontline documentary series, with the same voice-over announcer, same graphics, and same tone. A friend who works on the Frontline website (she edits the Reporters' Stories section) saw the show and thought it was hilarious. Unfortunately, the gal at Television Without Pity, a site which is usually extremely sharp-eyed, missed the whole joke.
