    superior donuts is a nice little show and i won't abide anyone saying anything different

    I haven't watched it because it looks terrible. It just looked like a show destined to fail.

    Today in "Geez, nobody watches the shows you like, Johnny, so stop trying to make them a thing", I told our Traffic reporter that she was the Car Czar, because she knows where the cars are.

    ... yeah, my life has become a cringe comedy. That said, I'll never stop stumping for Happy Endings, no matter how much my pride suffers.

    We get this station on our rabbit ears, "Decades," that's entirely TV from the 60s and 70s

    So our show to put on when we're cooking has become Laugh In

    And there was this episode from 1969 where all the jokes were about how America has a gun problem and our privacy is being stripped away

    Good to see how far we've come in half a century

    holy crap i want that channel

    It's pretty neat!

    I had almost forgotten how everybody on 60s/70s gameshows was HAMMERED at all times

    well it's not terrible and it's succeeding so you are probably a racist

    Patriot on Amazon is really very fucking good, in my honest IMO

    and yeah "Amelie but about a CIA assassin" is perfectly accurate and part of why I love it so much

    How the fuck did Superior Donuts get a second season?

    Well, Judd Hirsch has to work somewhere after ABC cancelled Forever so that they could air a terrible season of Castle where the lead actors weren't even on speaking terms despite playing a married couple.

    No silly, that was Tommy Lister. You're thinking of the character Buddy Bragg from Out of Sight.

    Six episodes in and I finally have some idea of the point it's been meandering towards.

    I think it was @Blankzilla who said the last episode of Brooklyn 99 was very sitcomy, more then you usually get, and I think this episode was too, but this was also the Halloween episode so I am totally ok with that because Halloween means a sweet heist and everyone acts all crazy because of it.

    I think they're trying to offset the darkness of the first two episodes. If this is the Leslie recall arc of B99 I'll deal with it for a strong final season

    Speaking of the good place

    Spoiler for season 2
    Does anyone else get the feeling that Michael figured out he can can have his cake and eat it too by letting the disgruntled demons do their thing while also still getting the four humans tortured even though they're aware of the situation? I feel like this is just another one of his tricks.

    I have considered this, but it seems a little too simple.
    they've also said there won't be any more twists like the end of season 1, although they could be lying.
    My guess is that this iteration is Macro is right about Michael--this is his latest run of the project and he's still trying to make the plan work, but by spending so much time wiht the humans and getting to know them on a personal level he'll end up having a change of heart and genuinely become a better person, because that's the sort of thing that happens in a Michael Schur show

    I'm at this thing and Tahani is here in a ballgown and I'm wearing the one "nice outfit" I've had for like five years

    And when I saw her, my first thought was, "Oh, cool, I AM a worm. I always suspected, and this confirmation is nice to receive."

    It's a real weight off the shoulders.

    I didn't realize they made Superior Donuts a thing

    I am not sure if I posted about seeing the pilot for that show in Vegas at their focus group thing, but that show was awful and racist as hell in that iteration

    I rated it 0 within 4 minutes of the viewing

    A racist Donut show? Did all the superior donuts have a white sugar glazing?

    Speechless is so damn good. It's really funny but they deal with some really heavy issues without being patronizing about it.
    Last night's episode had JJ (the kid with Cerebral Palsy) asking his dad if he would ever find love or get married, and the show dealt with it really great.
