SweetMercifulCrap! posted:You miss out on a couple greats though, like Scott's Tots. I think for most people, "Goodbye, Michael" is a good stopping point. But I also think that there are enough good moments in the remaining seasons that if you've gone that far, you might as well plow through them. Things do get pretty dire at times, but the final two episodes are actually very good. That's true, Scott's Tots is possibly one of the greatest examples of cringe/embarrassment humor ever made. It's a work of art, and it's classic Michael Scott.

Dwight: "Who's Justice Beaver?" Jim: "He... it's a crime fighting beaver."

Pick posted:Absolutely not. He is not a misogynist and they're very careful about that. Yeah. Even when he extols traditionally masculine outdoorsiness, or WORK, or MEAT or disdains whatever the opposite of that is, I don't think he calls it "girly" or something like that.

The US Office for all the ways it sucks holds up way better than Parks and Rec (No UK office that doesn’t mean you’re the best, your Office holds up worst of all)

The Office was okay once they stopped saying human being and queer all the time, then it started sucking again once Michael left because the bosses were just assholes instead of well intentioned assholes

Thinking back I dont think Michael ever said human being directly, but called stuff "faggy" a bunch of times. Enough that the plot of the episode "gay witch hunt" happened. They got way less weird about gay people later thank god, one of my favourite jokes is when that senator dude came out publically and one of the reporters casually says "yes, I have a question for the beard"

With that said Rosa Diaz and the literal actual Devil are the two best bicons I could possibly ask for

There is also Daryl from Crazy Ex Girlfriend. Divorced father of a young teenager, realised he was bi when he fell in love with White Josh, then now that hasn't worked out he's dating a woman who's daughter used to be his own daughter's enemy but they made up for their respective parent's sake.

There was a period from like 1997 to 2013 where gay characters were depicted on TV (not necessarily well but generally sympathetically) but no one was allowed to be legit bi for some reason. It's over now tho and there are quite a few bi characters on contemporary programs.

Sara Lance sleeps with a lot of women through the ages. In fact, I think the only man she's slept with is Oliver Queen; I haven't caught up to all the shows yet though, I'm still in early 2017.
