At the time of writing, this, and the far superior show it was ripped from (Spitting Image) are neck and neck in terms of viewer rankings. How? Spitting Image was a trendsetting classic, this was a cheap knock off by folks who should stayed on Saturday Morning. The Krofts made a ton of great shows for various Saturday Morning blocks, top of which was the way ahead of it's time "Land of the Lost." But DC Follies falls totally flat, proving that the Krofts needed to stay in their niche and not try political humor. Fred Willard can't even save it, or was he even trying? One wonders if he knew how off the mark it was and there picking up a quick payday, Cheap, unfunny, and not worth your time.
