It worked better that I thought it would after watching the trailer. Nothing I found hilarious or even really funny but it had enough charms that I'm willing to give it a few more episodes to see where it's going.

So how did Rick get back on the island, did Jacob bring him back?

I found the first episode to feel very forced. Something seemed off and it felt like none of the characters had any chemistry.
But it’s a comedy so may take some time for then to grow into each other

Not really, while Rick was the main character the focus of the Walking Dead was never Rick. The whole story is about a group of survivors in a zombie apocalypse.
SpongeBob is about this misadventures of a character and his friends.

While watching TV with my partner? Both of us sitting there on the sofa in headphones?
That shouldn't be necessary.

I believe Armstrong has said he has a 5 season arc planned for the show, and there’s no way HBO would deny him that given it’s success thus far.

I like that idea of a different court in a different place. Maybe Dan retired to Vegas or something.
I can't get behind the lead or the bailiff on that show. They both are terrible actors, but I like the rest of the cast. I keep seeing so much praise for it and I'm scratching my head wondering if people are really watching it for what it is now, rather than what it could be.
With Animal Control, I had no issues with any of the actors, and I even already like them all after 1 episode. I like the boss from Mr Mayor, I think she was better in this show than in that last one with Ted Danson (she had a few great lines in that). I already like the rivalry between precincts, and I like the setup that every episode will have an interesting animal encounter.

That would be like removing spongebob from the final few seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants, bringing him back and then calling it a spinoff

They spun him off a few seasons before it ended. He wasn't the main character by the final seasons.

I didn’t dislike the new Nightcourt like I thought I would. Nothing will ever live up to the depth the original had. I feel like if they just did what Law and Order did with it’s reboots and title it differently like, Nightcourt LA or something it’d probably be a lot more palatable.

Liked the first episode, will continue watching.
Better than night court for me.

Correct. And I found it pretty entertaining (though absurd)

That makes a lot of sense as most of the bad takes on the show I see are on their social media ad commenta

How can you do a spinoff for the main character? That’s just a sequel.
Westeros t1_j9ga1z7 wrote
Should have just done a Men of Letters show or something else in-universe; The Winchesters seems like way too much of a retcon & unnecessary to all the shit that went down in the supernatural storyline…like how do you top any of that lol.

It’s better than all the Chuck Lorre comedies all over the networks which means it will be canceled fairly quick.

She was a beautiful addition to the show, her contribution was always enjoyable. That said I have no interest in this show. This is a story that doesn't need to be told and to tell it undoes essential parts of the show they violated with the ending episode of.

Interesting to find out what other people think is hilarious or not. I couldn’t get into the first few episodes of that show, but a few seasons in I flipped back on It’s always sunny and now it’s one of my all time favorites and I enjoy now those episodes with some context.

If they do it right they end the spin off after the others have ended and do a true series finale.
