Whatevs, NBC Isn't that at least partly because those shows have larger episode orders than Good Place? And, also, y'know... it's Will & Grace, and your mom will watch it even if it's timeslot is hosed because of football?

I think pretty much everyone figured this whole "Michael and humans trying to keep the other demons happy while becoming better people" thing was going to run out the season, at least, if not become the ongoing premise of the show. Now, however, Shaun knows, and it's out the window. Like, unless it turns out that what we knew about this possibility was basically entirely wrong, I'm really not sure where the show can go from here, because our heroes are totally hosed.

Maybe Shaun won't give Michael the ol' "Eternal Shriek", but he'll instead just hand Vicky the reins to the "Good" Place explicitly and force Michael to stick around as a huge demotion.

Also reckon there is a reasonable chance that Sean takes Michael being sneaky as a positive trait and is happy he finally showed some real initiative and acted like a proper demon.

FactsAreUseless posted:That's why the show just got canceled. Schur says they "wrote themselves into a corner" and will "just run Parks and Rec reruns for a while." I actually am pretty worried that the show's ending soon. It's getting slaughtered in the ratings and can't be terribly cheap to make.

I doubt Parks and Rec was cheap to make, especially in later seasons as the actors in it blew up (and it had a huge cast), and it got abysmal ratings too. I'm praying. Plus Michael Schur is hopefully one of the people in entertainment who isn't a horrible creep so after they cancel or shitcan everyone with ties to sexual assault, this show will be one of the few left standing.

Gobbeldygook posted:It strikes me as a show that knows it's budget and how to stay under it. Kristen Bell is almost certainly their most expensive cast member, so the transition towards a more ensemble approach may partly be a cost-cutting move. I know Kristen Bell is real famous, especially after Frozen, but I'm willing to bet the highest paid cast member is Ted Danson. Or if not they've gotta be close, right?

Some of the scenes are shot in the Huntington Library and Gardens which is probably not the cheapest.

Compared to your average sitcom there are way more special effects shots, but also fewer episodes per season, so it probably all balances out. Either way, the show is doing fine in live ratings, and probably has good time shifted numbers as well. It's a safeish bet to get a third season.

Max22 posted:Shooting time, special effects, props, costumes, an ensemble cast of returning and established actors It’s a small cast with only two major actors and there are very few big location days, background actors, stunts, licensed music, or other huge money sinks. Even the camera setups are simple: no excessive crane, drone, nor long tracking shots, prrrrrobably two cameras.
