I notice the Consulting Producer's name looks like what autocorrect would change my texts to whenever I'm trying to describe something else.

There was a magical period of time when the office, parks and rec, and 30 rock came on the same night of the week. There has been nothing good on tv since with the exception of what we do in the shadows.

I dont understand why tv is incapable of creating good shows anymore?

Have you watched Ted Lasso? Probably one of the better shows I've seen in a while. Only on Apple TV+.

I was listening to the Smartless podcast the other day with Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes and they had a comedian on a guest (can't remember who), and they were talking about how tv and film have both backed off from comedy now that companies like Netflix / Hulu / etc are growing in popularity across the globe and it turns out that humor is not universal. And bc comedy is hard and PC / cancel culture is too much trouble.

Parks & Rec is closer to reality than most people will ever realize.

They removed the "two black swans" joke likely because a white liberal woman somewhere was offended.

They got rid of a few "edgy" jokes.

I sing the muffin top song every time I run with much joy.

I heard they were removing all of the blackface episodes. That includes the one where Jenna turns into a black man and Tracy into a white woman with a monster claw - and Oprah makes an appearance. Great episode.

they also removed a very benign yet hilarious joke about Belsinkil from an Office Christmas episode.

I guess I get why no one wants to try to be funny on a major network anymore.

I keep meaning to find a supercut of all the public forums and council meetings to show my dad, who has been in small town local government the past decade or so. I think he'd love it.

On Netflix they removed the first D&D episode of Community because Chang cosplays as a Dark Elf. They even address it ON THE SHOW and it's clear exactly what's going on.

Counterpoint, it was largely nonsense. The paintball episode? wtf was that? Why are all these 40 year olds in community college for 5 years? Why are these 40 year olds acting like 20 year olds?

Had Troy stayed longer it would be. Wasn't as great after he left. Chevy Chase leaving didn't hurt the show at all.
Let's go, Brandon!

Community was the best of all of those shows, and I like those other shows.

Community was much more creative, experimental, and esoteric. Those other shows just followed the same cookie cutter formulas of shows that came before them to appeal to the masses, but had good writing. Community had good writing along with the previously mentioned points.

best part of the show wasn't even part of the show
