Carlosologist posted:Dr. Richard Nygard has to make an appearance this season. But I really can't wait to see if Ann and Chris come back, that's my one hope for the season The best would be if Nygard were played by Rob Lowe too.

Pope Guilty posted:I previously found him annoying and grating, but I think he's great this season. Craig was like the Saperstein twins in that he was good for a joke or two every few episodes, but couldn't be overused. It's good that they rehabbed his character so it wasn't too easy to overplay him.

Tom is funny because he's a caricature of what older generations think of millenials.

Zedd posted:Both mark and early s3 Ben+chris (when he didnt show his fun side as leslie would say) would be too much but outside of that mark was fine. Mark was boring as dirt, and P&R making a romance arc between the two straight man characters for so long was a pretty serious drag on every character involved. Even before they started to beat on the "Ben is a giant nerd" drum and completely got rid of Mark, Ben was a much better replacement straight man.

whatever7 posted:Mark has never had any funny happened to him. He doesn't bounce off any funny gag either, his soft body automatically sucked all the funny jokes away. Mark's primary problem was that he was the straight man in a show that didn't need a straight man. I get the sense they were trying to recreate Jim from The Office without quite understanding why Jim worked. In a show where two of the leads are so disconnected from reality that they would be dead in real life, you need Jim as the sane guy that viewers can relate to. The problem is that Mark doesn't exist in a show where everyone manages to hold down jobs in spite of being insane; he exists in a show where everyone succeeds at their jobs because they're insane. Just about every P&R character's greatest strength is also their greatest flaw, depending on the situation. This means that the straight man role rotates between characters depending on the plot, leaving nothing for normal guy Mark to do. Then you drop him in a relationship with the other moderately normal character, and you've got a story arc that does nothing but bore the piss out of the audience.

Ann worked because she was the straight woman to the main character. But if Ann had been axed and Mark given room to grow, it's possible he could have been developed into a likeable character too.

I really liked Judah Friedlander's Dwight, but then you watch Rainn Wilson's audition and it completely blows everything else out of the water. Apparently, Krasinski was supposed to audition as Dwight too. Trying to even imagine that is just

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is very much the obvious choice. Same creators, quite a few of the characters have strong similarities to the P&R crew (watching Rosa and Holt talk to each other is like an alternate universe of April and Ron), and the acting is superb. Better Off Ted is indeed a gem, though. Since it was an ABC show, it's very much on the light-hearted side of sitcom writing. It actually very much manages to be "Dilbert, but funny"

EL BROMANCE posted:I used to love Scrubs, but I think it managed to make enough bad episodes that sullied my opinion of it and I can't remember the last time I thought I should watch an episode of it. S3E14 (My Screw Up) is one of the best episodes of any sitcom ever and is always worth rewatching. Musical episode was a lot of fun too. I really enjoyed Scrubs when I watched it, but I'm actually kind of afraid to go back to it to see how it's aged. I have a suspicion that there's only so many "JD is effeminate haw haw" jokes in a row that the show can really deliver.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (also a Michael Schur show) is really loving good and I can't say enough good things about it, but The Good Place is still a better first season
