Reply #69: Doctor Strangelove, Bob Robers, and Election and two from the Brits

Yes, those are great and truthful comedies.

From the Brits, we have two wonderful TV series, "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister," a comedy about an government minister (who eventually makes prime minister) who means well but is constantly thwarted by his civil servant assistant, who knows how the system REALLY works. It's one of those comedies that gives you the uneasy feeling that governments really operate this way.
