Snyder ,'Showtime'
This thread is for comedy TV, including network and cable shows. [NAFDA]
I watched The Good Place. I liked it. Not really sure where they are going with the super talkative woman, she doesn't seem like she's a fit.
I feel like this story is something that would normally be done with a guy as the lead so it's cool to see Kristen Bell (plus I like her).
Speaking of Kristen Bell, does anyone remember if there's a scene in Reefer Madness where a woman dramatically faints? I have a vague mental image of that happening in response to something shocking in a comedy, but I can't place the movie it was in.
Matt: yes. That happens. I don't remember the exact context though.
I watched the pilot of The Good Place last night. It feels like it is another My Fair Lady retelling but less fun than Selfie.
My coworker was just telling me that he likes that show and something happens in the third(?) episode that made him happy, so I may have to check it out that far to see what he's talking about. He also said it's got a guy from Better Off Ted in it, so that's a selling point.
So much TV to catch up on, I'm gonna have to make a spreadsheet.
I can sort of see why you might think that from the pilot, but try watching a few more episodes. I've seen all the episodes of The Good Place so for, and it's not really like that at all.
Plus, Kristen Bell and Ted Danson are awesome, and even the annoying neighbor lady is growing on me.

Getting a good chunk of her backstory really helped with that. By the end of the episode with all her flashbacks, I was kind of wrecked on her behalf.
Yup, seeing what her motivations were helped ever so. The other thing that was interesting was that it seems like Chidi is her actual soulmate.

Definitely where the show seems to be going.
I'm really enjoying this show.
