  • It’s an impressive achievement to pack a primetime sitcom with as much philosophy as it did. Michael Schur is a great comedy writer but I had no idea he was more than that until this show. Apparently Ted Danson and Kristen Bell were the only actors who were told from the start

    As for the twist, I thought of it more as a plot point. They were building up to it from the start and rest of the show hinges on it. At the risk of sounding negative, Season 1 was kind of like a long pilot episode to set up the true conflict of the series.

    I’m not one to get emotional watching TV or movies but I definitely teared up at the end with Eleanor and Chidi
















  • Jeff Larson is a big fan of The Onion and saved it from dying. After being forced to sell the first time, they had to tone down a lot of the articles and it got pretty meh. Then this guy created a company referencing a long-running Onion joke, bought it, and gave them free reign again. Like totally hands off, it’s the employees who decide what to publish

    I’ve been reading The Onion since the early 2000s and it got BETTER under his ownership. Back to their roots.
