Then again Jane Krakadowski or we has to be fey's pity project. She has the range of eddie from frasier.

Didn't she get famous on Broadway and not in film acting? I think she's funny because of her character, but then again she also played the exact same character in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and also those Tropicana commercials

It's fun watching her get dunked on all the time for being like that though, it's like how a lot of the hurtful things the gang says to Dee on It's Always Sunny are things that Kaitlin Olson actually gets really insulted and self-conscious about IRL

It's alright but yeah, it's pretty obvious when she is/isn't behind the wheel.

I'm very excited that she's got a new show coming out even though I know nothing about it

And Ally Mcbeal for those unfortunate enough to have seen it.

Also it's weird that Kimmy is so hot in real life when she's always making some sort of hosed up face on the show.

Kelsey Grammer used to sneak into the set of the movie Operation Dumbo Drop and assault the elephant that starred in it. He wasn't even IN that loving movie that's how dedicated he is to his craft.

She's one of the funniest people in one of the funniest shows ever made, so 'emotional range' is kinda a moot point.

I have a hard time relating to that show at all. Like I don't understand any of the characters or who they are supposed to be representing.

Like, 30 rock was a hilarious send up of the entertainment industry staring famous people as themselves and it was great fun.

Jimmy Schmidt is a hilarious send up of, escaped ex Mormon sex trafficking victims who nanny in New York and their gay elderly unlikeable black roommates?

Like who is this show a satire of. All the cues indicate this is a satire/comedy but if they played it straight it would be a grim unpleasant drama

Nobody's saying she's Hellen Mirren or whatever but they wrote a one-dimensional actress into a one-dimensional character and half the jokes/plotlines on the show are focused on making fun of how one-dimensional she was. It's like complaining about David Cross playing a nebbish weirdo or Zack Galifinakis as an overweight loser.

But yes, it's an SJW thing :rolleyes:

Which is ironic because he was the worst friend. The rankings of the F*R*I*E*N*D*S is as follows:

1. Joey
2. Monica
3. Phoebe
4. Chandler
5. Rachel
6. Ross

I always struggle with the 2/3 position because early seasons Phoebe was better than early season Monica, but late season Monica was better than late season Phoebe.

Ah ok that makes sense.

Seriously though, all it would take to make a really grim drama would be to not play that happy flute music and have everyone deliver their lines deadpan. Take all the happy bump-it's between scenes away and just show 12 unfiltered seconds of NYC street scenes with the sound of wind blowing. They'd win an award

Peckerhead isn't used enough as an insult if you ask me.
Joey was the only one who was somewhat aware he was a terrible person.

And I just watched the episode where Niles dumps the coffee waitress during her shift and she has a pretty solid freakout.

Most of what I read about it was a healthy mix of people who thought it was tone-deaf racism and people (including actual Native Americans) who thought it was funny as hell. I more-or-less agree with this article about it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/unbreakable-kimmy-schmidt-native-americans_us_5722747fe4b01a5ebde515be
