The Good Place on NBC

They did such a great job casting as well.

Alison Jones also cast Freaks & Geeks, The Office: An American Workplace, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, Knocked Up, I Love You Man, Bridesmaids, Parks & Rec, Veep, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Arrested Development, Lady Bird and Eighth Grade.

Well I'm fucked up now

that was terribly sweet

what a lovely finale

that destroyed me

Great show, good finale but I'm not looking forward to every nerd wedding speech from now till eternity including the phrase "Jeremy Bearimy, baby"

Teared up at the end there.

Didn't realise it was the finale.

Me either. It does seem like a season that was getting ready for stuff to happen.

pacing of this season was all over the place but that was a really strong finale, they successfully made me care about a couple i don’t care about

it’s not a joke, i’m a legit snack

cork blork

“the time knife” is going to be permanently locked into my vocabulary

Chidi's delivery of that was spectacular.

Every Derek/martini moment killed. Jason Mantzoukas is consistently hilarious in every show he's on. He should be on more shows.

I laughed so hard at the martini gags.

the only reason i watched the league was the potential of mantzoukas popping up at any given moment

strangely i don't like his movie podcast -- there's another guy on it who always shouts over everyone. (also their movie tastes don't line up with my own, but whatever.)

I've stopped listening to Comedy Bang Bang except for episodes with Mantzoukas. I miss him on Brooklyn Nine-Nine too.

Paul Scheer! I find him and Rob Corddry indistinguishably annoying. Was disappointing to see him turn up on Good Place a couple of weeks ago. But then he disappeared again. Good.

Generally any podcast that involves a group of two or three men laughing at their own in-jokes is a hard NO for me, even if I like all the people involved

lol they just look v similar

they're both horrible overactors too

this week’s Hodgman / PFT ep felt very early years imo

I might have to check that one out, I do like PFT a lot but it depends on who the other guests are.

I like this show, but I could do without the use of HOLY MOTHERFORKING SHIRTBALLS by self-satisfied drama-club nerds.

I’ve heard no one use that irl :)

nah, me neither -- I just mean like AV Club commenter types

never read the comments

Schur is capping it at four. I trust his instincts.

I bet a hard season limit was among Lindelof's pieces of advice, lol

If it can pull a Justified (subpar penultimate season followed by return-to-form-and-then-some) then good. Lots of incidental pleasures last season but was generally disappointing.

Adverts for the new season accentuating that it's the last one have started cropping up on podcasts I listen to over the last few days.

Back next week, isn't it?

it is

Second year in a row a new season has been a birthday present to me.

stonehenge was a sex thing

Kept to the tradition of the new season dropping on my birthday.

Happy bday!

Good episode, tho they shoulda just shown both halves this week. I’m liking the fact this season looks like it’ll bring Maximum Derek

1-877-KARS-FOR-KIDS

K-A-R-S KARS FOR KIDS

what is kars for kids?

if possible, never find out

lol

*posts youtube link*
*stops self at last moment*

I outright cackled when the punching started

Series overview/behind the scenes/best of The Paley Centre Salutes the Good Place was quite fun.

Sorry to hear about end of the show, but it probably is good that they quit while they're ahead.

Is this the first episode that didn't include a topic from moral philosophy?

Why the hell did it say "to be continued" at the end? How was it different than any other episode (in terms of the level of cliffhanger)?

Idk, Simone was basically dealing with simulation theory, how to act of you don't believe the world is real?
