Profit and Lace
The opening of Quark sexually harassing his staff, threatening a firing unless sexual favors are provided is so repulsive, even if it was supposed to then be "balanced" by Nilva trying to force himself on Quark later in the episode.

Decisions
Hope Glenda got off that mountain .... not sure why they included going back after her, if they were just going to send her off running towards some road while people are shooting, without ever mentioning whether she got out alive.....
Sad to see the show got cancelled. Hopefully Queen Latifah will get another show.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do
The morning after Trevor stays over, Willie & Kate walk into the kitchen, where Trevor is blasting loud rock music, Trevor segues into a comment about Frank Sinatra, but Willie says it sounds like Pink Floyd. The joke I guess is that Pink Floyd is clearly not Frank Sinatra. The problem is the song playing is very clearly not Pink Floyd.
It absolutely does not sound at all like Pink Floyd. I starting thinking, well, maybe in the original airing it was really Pink Floyd - because whatever was playing was some generic rock chords, no recognizable song - perhaps they didn't want to pay the rights for the song for the DVD? But if that's true, the joke about Trevor blasting loud music is less funny if he's playing psychedelic rock. Also Trevor says it was Raquel & his song? I struggle to think about which Pink Floyd song that might have been? Comfortably Numb? Brain Damage? Wish You Were Here?
It was a throwaway line, but made so little sense, that I was distracted the rest of the episode by how little sense that whole failed joke at the beginning made -- especially because they spend the rest of the episode quoting Chicago lyrics. It would have made MUCH more sense if Trevor were playing a song by Chicago.
Most of these episodes have not aged well, but this one bemoaning the consolidation of media, the use of medai to only provide one viewpoint, and the problems with the deregulation of the Reagan administration, framed with the emergence of rap as an anti-establishment method of voicing dissent is sadly pretty prescient.
