Reporter's Notebook: Progressives, moderate Dems trapped in congressional version of 'Schmigadoon!'

On Capitol Hill, left-wing lawmakers and a faction of centrists are "together" when it comes to big concepts like major upgrades in infrastructure and even a substantial social spending plan. But not everything is rosy.

Such is the case in Schmigadoon!

Schmigadoon! airs on Apple TV+. It’s a parody of the Broadway classic Brigadoon, the Scottish village which materializes from the mist once a century. In addition to Brigadoon, Schmigadoon! is a take on other musicals: Oklahoma!, The Music Man, Carousel, Li’l Abner, The Sound of Music and Finian’s Rainbow.

The show even describes itself as a cross between The Walking Dead and Glee.
