Rewatching Season Two to catch up again.

Ted Danson is so good in "Existential Crisis" and "Michael and Janet," though I wish they'd have nominated D'Arcy Carden as well. "Who has one thumb and wants to keep going? This not-girl!"

I finally got my boyfriend to try the show last Monday, and of course he liked it and we're up to episode 10. It's interesting watching it again knowing the truth. And it's hard not to demand we stay up all night to watch every episode because there's so much to look forward to.

I was also very surprised to realize that a) Demi from Gilmore Guys is a writer on this show, and b) not one but two of Derek's groupies are wrestlers on GLOW.

Demi is also a cohost of Punch Up The Jam which is objectively the funniest podcast ever made. He’s also responsible for a bunch of fake theme songs to movies. He’s a pro twitter follow.

I can see when you are lying.

He may have been on-staff for season 1, where he has one credited episode (most likely meaning he wrote the first draft), but I don't think he was on staff for Season 2 and beyond. I am pretty sure he wrote for the New Warriors Marvel show (With Squirrel Girl) whenever that sees the light of day.

It's pretty normal for shows, especially good ones, to have a good deal of writer turnover season-to-season. It's not because the writers who are don't remain on staff are bad, it's that they have more opportunities open to them, and others come in to fill in their places. Plus, shorter seasons means less money until the new WGA contract/strike (which will likely happen in 2020) and then they capitulate and get barely anything, again.

Still not sure if that, or his Solo one where he does an eerie impression of Camp-era Glover is better.

The Good Place Season 3: Hell on Earth

Jet Jaguar

Don't touch my bags if you please, Mr Customs Man.



I think they've mentioned "season 3 or 4" on the podcast a couple of times in the last few episodes.

Would be thrilled if they knew they had a season 4 as they wrote season 3, though they were willing to let season 1 end like it did without a pickup. So who knows?

Also, I love the fake ads they are doing this "season" of the podcast.

A Janet is required to keep things running, be it a perfect Good Place neighborhood or a hellish Bad Place neighborhood.

There isn't really anything to run in the Medium Place, it just...is.

The medium place was only recently created, and since there is a single person it stands that it is an inefficient use of resources.

You can’t summon Medium Janet, you can only go to her and she’s an awkward ten minute walk away.

The Janets aren't really named Janet. That's just what Eleanor hears. Just like how she hears everything in English regardless of what language is actually being spoken.
