Thankfully, it was someone who watched the show. What are the odds?

I mean, seriously, what are the odds?

I wonder if the odds of a fan finding that book are greater than or less than the odds of someone just writing that in a book and taking a picture of it?

Fans of the show seeking out a copy of a book repeatedly mentioned by the show's creator doesn't sound that unlikely to me.

Someone who doesn't watch the show wouldn't understand the significance of the message and would just be annoyed at the wanton destruction of a book.

Also it's a book on moral philosophy. Nobody reads those :colbert:

Is it more or less likely than a fan just writing the message in the book for a manufactured photo op, though?

This is not the first time this has happened. More people watch the show than are most likely seeking out the book on their own, so it’s really not that crazy.

I live in Chicago and there's exactly 2 copies of the book in their library system and they are constantly checked out. That's not the case with basically any other philosophy book. I would give extremely high odds that it was fans of the show checking it out.

Also I don't understand why the people who Tweeted that would stage it to claim someone else was clever? Like, they could make the exact same Tweet and frame it as "I left a surprise for any other #TheGoodPlace fans who might check out this book".

Is the implication that this is the same prop book from the show now added to a library or just that some other fan wrote it?

This way they could get all the retweets and likes without (as many) snippy replies saying "HOW DARE YOU WRITE IN A BOOK!!"

Perhaps, but also,

https://twitter.com/meganstags/status/1161470381133189120

... of course, it's also possible that this tweet is the actual hoax, and this is the book that Ted Danson wrote in, because if he put it back on a shelf in a library on the show, then that means that he did it in real life, and that if we didn't see him collect the prop at the end of the scene, then the only logical explanation is that it's still there, and has only just now been found.

Watching, not listening to. HarmonTown is the podcast, HarmonQuest is the TV show where they play D&D with celebrity guest stars and there's animation of what their characters are doing. It has its ups and downs (as you might expect from a show that's based on improvisation with a new cast member every episode) but overall I like it a lot.

The Mantzoukas episode is still fantastic.
