The AV Club asked Michael Schur which characters in Game of Thrones that were based on Tahani. They also have a screenshot that has a restaurant in the background named "Ponzu Scheme." Can we also see the return of "A Little Bit Chowder Now"?

I know it's a dumb thing to complain about but she was loving 11 when the first book came out. I think part of what made me dislike that last episode was Tahani being FULL ON with all her celebrity stuff when we've not had her doing it that badly for a while.

Outside theory: it's Mindy St. Clair warning of an impending Derek-apocalpyse, having created a ton of incredibly dumb Derek-babies all on his own. This sort of fits in with everybody having a foil this season.

That was the first book in A Song of Ice and Fire, it's totally reasonable to believe that D&D based half their tv show's cast on Tahani rather than some fat man books they didn't actually read

Yea but Lewis Carol was a paedophile so it's not really a great comparison to draw. You know, I still don't know who that is. Maybe if I'd rewatched he'd have stuck better?

He's more of a team player, which is weird for a demon. Even willing to face Shawn's wrath trying to comfort him. He's developing... *shudder* ... good traits.

I'm curious how much of an adjustment things were for Michael when he first started his initial experiment - demons have been shown to hate positive stuff and thrive on negativity, but Michael and the initial crop of demon actors had to interact with the same businesses as the humans, so were they secretly getting rancid yoghurt while the humans were getting pleasant flavours, or did they just have to put up with ~800 iterations of stomaching overly nice things that they couldn't stand. The equivalent of Shawn's threats about making demons watch videos of Red Pandas or threatening to have a famous chef make them a perfect roast turkey.

BioEnchanted posted:They're on Youtube now. E: just checked the good place YouTube and they’re viewable so presumably that was a dumb boner not unlocking them when they were uploaded and I’m just bad at searching Also did that peanut butter jar convo seem weird? I might be imagining things and I know ‘Jason being dumb’ is just a gag but something about that really struck me as we were missing half the conversation. Jason being so dumb he thinks a picture of an owl with a mortarboard went to college is obviously and incontrovertibly funny to me but him just wholesale imaging a conversation about a peanut butter jar seems really sad and late stage dementia rather than lead paint brain damage (for tv purposes anyway) Jezza of OZPOS fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Oct 13, 2019 |

So he just assumed that that was the question and it took a bit for him to understand that Michael wanted a different kind of help.

Shawn has a personal dislike for him even beyond the usual bad place shenanigans. Also way back in Season 1, he was the demon who told a weird-rear end story about his soup saved thousands (or more?) lives, and later when Tahani finds what her own score is, she was only second to last while Glenn was at the bottom. It feels safe to say that there's an entire series worth of indication that he is not very well-liked among the demons.

In one of the reboots he was Tahani's soulmate and was a "garbageman in Winnipeg" or something.

Sunnyside, Mike Schur's new show has already been cancelled. The first episode wasn't quite as bad as the trailer indicated, but it was still pretty bad, surprisingly so given his track record.

pwn posted:At least Abby’s got to finish on television. After tomorrow night’s episode, it’s being moved to the NBC app to finish out its 11-episode run. They’re currently in production of episode 9, so at least they’ll have a chance to wrap up whatever story they’ve got going on. Will and Grace is being moved up from their planned midseason premiere to fill that time slot next week. Yes and no. You could see a lot of Schurs handiwork in the pilot, I mean there was a monologue about the greatness of baseball.

I saw an episode and it was... unremarkable. A lot of the jokes felt very lazy and it seemed to lack any spark. I'm not really sure what they were going for.
