I think that's pretty much what was troubling me about Poehler's character. With the mockumentary, you really highlight your subjects, and Poehler's character is as yet a little more caricature than not, which is not a good thing. That's something that could work fine in an SNL bit as a one off with the mockumentary, but I think a regular show format would suit this show much better. We will see how it unfolds though. Maybe they have plans for it.
