There's a flat out excellent episode in the last season. It ultimately didn't mean much with that episode that followed but still some really really great moments in s8e2

Real Housewives? And then we find out most aren’t really housewives or even married….oh wait.

Most of the characters don't even like Janine that much. It's not quite at the "through friendship we will do anything and everything we want because it's wholesome" level that parks and rec eventually landed on.

Or, what if you took away the ? in a title?
Who's the Boss becomes a workplace comedy/drama about the Mayor of Who-ville and the fight to secure Federal disaster funds to help repair his tiny town after assault from an eagle. The government sends an elephant to help instead of money. Hijinks ensue and life lessons are learned.

It’s worrying how little promotion there is for this show, which by all accounts sounds excellent. So far only a teaser has come out, but it looks quite good.

Just a PSA: Some editions of this episode are shorter than others. Be careful when purchasing it online. Make sure you're getting the full 50 minute version and not the 43 minute, TV edit.

Didn't know about this; I'm a big fan of a lot of his work, too, and my sister got me HBO Max for my birthday...thanks for the heads-up!

I’m a big sucker for Justin Theroux and political scandal so I’m very much looking forward to White House Plumbers on HBO later next month

Definitely had a "Carnivale" vibe; excellent observation ✔️✔️✔️

Friends? Is now a show about people that definitely aren’t friends.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Daily weather reports from Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day.

The first 4 seasons of GOT are among some of the best tv I've ever seen. It was very consistent. I'd argue that seasons 1-4 should've won or at least tied with Breaking Bad and other shows that beat it during that era.

I was hoping the twist with Henry meeting the producer was he got that part but it was super cgi so no one recognized him. Was sad it was the “are we having fun yet” again haha

The good places humor was conceptual rather than situational. The episode where Chidi goes insane with the chili is still the funniest thing I have ever seen on a screen.

It's a really good traditional sitcom. Seinfeld is the goat traditional sitcom
the office redefined sitcom. Call it sitcom 2.0. modern family was an overrated version of 2.0 while parks might be goat of 2.0. B99 is if you took the sensibilities of parks with the so-so quality of modern family.
The good place and community are their own thing. Unique and awesome.
Ted lasso is kinda it's own thing. Maybe like a modern twist on 1.0.

Reply to Severence is so goated by saulgoodman673
I really like Severance, but wonder how far they can go with the premise. Westworld started great, but then started wandering around after the first season. I hope that doesn't happen to Severance.

I would agree that it’s not as good as your favorites that you’ve mentioned. I still very much enjoy it, though.

The principal is partly why I couldn’t get into it. The actress is great and I would’ve loved the character as a teacher but it was just so jarring having such an incompetent person being in charge, even for a sitcom. And it’s blatant incompetency, not just a nuisance like Michael Scott. It’s like the writers use her purely as a conflict device. Maybe I didn’t watch enough yet but it was just so one dimensional
