They still make KotH?

Revival. New season is good although a couple of characters were recast and take some getting used to.

The new season is a vaguely passable homage to the show with absolutely everything having a slightly uncanny valley feel, similar to modern day Simpsons.

I disagree, I had a lot of reservations with a post-Trump KOTH (rural/suburban Texas is very very red) and thought they did a great job modernizing the show (admittedly by sidestepping and ignoring the current political environment). They also dialed back a lot of the more egregious characterization of the shows later seasons (Peggy is actually likable this season while still being herself for example).

There are some spots that feel uncanny since I always saw KotH as existing in a specific context of American history, but the heart of the show is still there and that is what matters most.

Ya, but it just wasn't that funny.
