Added DiffLines:

* ClicheStorm: Part of the idea of the show was taking various '50s sitcom stock pieces and placing an incredibly notorious figure at the center. Many viewers, however, feel that the show plays those stock pieces ''too'' straight, strangling any humor they may have had with Hitler as the lead.
