CharlestheHammer posted:I mean the point of sitcoms is ultimately the cast are the people you work with, so the story has to be about them. So naturally a bond will form when hijinks ensue on the regular. Well of course, but it's also not a good thing to base real life on a fictional show like the article is suggesting.

Eh, it was a supremely unfunny pilot, like a nadir of the worst part of the show. It would have been a serious departure in tone and setting and probably wouldn't have carried over much of The Office's audience.

I don't even know how hard peacock is trying to get paid subscribers, they're giving everyone with xfinity cable a free premium account and I think there's an ad-supported tier that's probably what most of their userbase uses.

They're stopping that now and making everyone pay. I only ever used it to watch brooklynn 99 and a couple other shows; there's some neat stuff on there, especially if you're a fan of old WWE content, but beyond a couple of the super long runners it's not worth it.

mind the walrus posted:Yup parasocial vibes have always been a part of sitcoms but those three lean harder on it than most, and the people who map their personalities to them often seem incredibly lonely and unfulfilled in their lives. I worked for the Parks department once. A new coworker had a lot of Parks and Rec swag at her desk. Pictures, magnets, a plush pony. She was incredibly frustrating to with with and left after less than six months. I guess it didn't live up to her dreams.
