I googled, and the article I found said it's on at 10 only for tonight, because America's Got Talent is leading into it, so that's supposed to be a great time slot. But then starting next week, it moves back to Thursdays at 8:30: [link]

Oh, that's great and reassuring. I'm hoping its recent availability on Netflix and the lead-in tonight will lead to increased viewership. If I recall, it wasn't doing great ratings-wise last year, even though the fans were fervent.
We only caught it on Hulu over the summer, but will definitely be watching in real time this season.
From what I hear, the fall TV season on network this year is a DISASTER in terms of new shows. Like, "worst ever fall TV season in all my years of coverage" has been uttered by more than one critics. Hopefully that would mean that the network would be more nurturing toward their existing shows, especially ones as critically beloved as The Good Place.
I did catch the trailer to a new comedy called The Mayor, which looks cute and promising, even though the story beats are predictable. Plus, it's produced by Daveed Diggs of Hamilton fame, which is perfect because it's about a rapper who goes into politics: [link]
Yay, Good Place! I'm so excited it's back.
Although, we're currently finishing up another show. So, we sadly probably won't be able to watch it for a few more days.
I hope I can watch it some where tomorrow. I think I've lost the tv for the night to Mom.
I have always wanted to do SSC, but Monday nights are tough, and I always have to get back.
The Good Place S2 premiere was a trip. I quite liked the overlapping multiple POV approach. Tahani's section made me laugh the hardest. Can you believe this is Jameela Jamil's first acting gig? (I think she worked as a TV presenter in UK before this). Her comic timing is amazing. Favourite bits: her successively more disparaging/despairing monikers for a female plumber. I lost it at "clog wench."
It also cracked me up that the show has now partially turned into a work-place comedy, except instead of a paper company or a police station, it's a workplace sitcom about demons who are disgruntled at not being able to go on with their usual torturing. And I know it's a cheap gag, but Eleanor's new soulmate's stripper tear-away tops/jackets made me howl every. single. time.
"I live in a boundless void."
"Can I go there?"
"No. It's a boundless void."
I can't believe how they still have me invested in Jason/Janet but they have, and I am.
Looking forward to what they're gonna come up with next!
