I also think that Fey gets some unfair scrutiny, because her work is labeled "progressive" comedy, so it gets attacked from the left and the right for any failures (perceived or real) to be progressive enough.

On the other hand, that's not really a response to criticism as much as it is to guesses about its motivation, so

That's pretty fair, too. This show was latched onto really quickly for having somewhat feminist values and looking at trauma survivors in a pretty honest way, so the "serious" critiques came pretty fast. At least the one man show was still funny. But the whole "Milennials learn to stop being 'fake' offended" bit felt like a joke from South Park five years ago. It came off as them saying there was no way there were any valid points about Jacqueline's story, it was all just Tumblr kids.

Yeah "Big Bang Theory still racist and sexist" isn't as clickbaity as "you won't believe how problematic this show about a woman overcoming trauma is!"

theflyingexecutive posted:"I have an opinion, but at the slightest bit of resistance, I openly pout about it instead of having a discussion." I really don't see how finding one element of a show I otherwise love troublesome merits this, and even said that it didn't ruin the show for me, that I love Tina Fey despite this issue, and that I just groan and move on with my life, so, no, I'm not walking you through why I groan at something beyond what I've already said. Because it shouldn't loving matter this much to you why I groan at a thing. Would it help if I mentioned that I think Tina Fey gets a lot of undue poo poo for this, because she's a liberal and a woman? Because I also think that's true, and I'd rather talk about that.

Just finished up. Pretty loving wonderful season of television, the odd issue aside. It's really easy to forgive some dumb poo poo when a show has genuine heart, and the central theme of making your own family and moving on from your past has always worked on me, from Buffy to Parks and Rec, and it ain't stoppin' now. Shame it ended so loving quickly. Also, that loving cliffhanger, dude. More Jon Hamm!

Guy A. Person posted:The Titus/Mike relationship is one of the genuinely sweetest I've seen on tv in awhile Yeah, I'm not usually a big fan of gay relationships on shows that don't focus on gay characters. Not because I object to gay men on my shows, but just because it seems like most shows and movies they just go with, "Oh yeah, and the gay friend met the first available gay dude within 100 yards, so everybody's happy now." So seeing Titus and Mike dating, it totally makes sense why those two very different characters are into each other. LividLiquid posted:Would it help if I mentioned that I think Tina Fey gets a lot of undue poo poo for this, because she's a liberal and a woman? Because I also think that's true, and I'd rather talk about that. For what it's worth, I thought Tina Fey did a pretty good of job of making Liz Lemon a well intentioned, but sometimes accidentally racist character on 30 Rock. Her heart was totally in the right place, she just screwed up sometimes. That said, I don't quite get the complaints about how Native Americans are portrayed on this show. The Whites are usually depicted as the only sane characters on this show. If they had the Native Americans living up to some negative stereotype, living in Teepees, drinking firewater and dealing blackjack, then I could understand the complaits, but they just act like normal midwestern parents dealing with a kid rejecting their values, who happen to be Native Americans. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 10:01 on Apr 17, 2016 |

Amy Sedaris and Anna Camp should have been in more episodes. Best episodes: the Gretchen one and the one where Titus teaches Lillian all the knockoff showtunes. Not as many big laughs as the first season. Still real enjoyable, but not uproarious.

I can't believe I totally blanked on who Fred Armison was playing. They even said his name a bunch of times! I'm Convinced I Can Swim is the best song of the season.

Joust posted:Amy Sedaris and Tina Fey were the best. Anna Camp too. So many people give incredible comedy performances in this, like season 2 of kimmy schmidt is basically a farm for Comedy Emmy and I honestly think right now they should win all of them I'm surprised both Anna Camp and Jane Krakowski didn't sing in the singing episode especially once I realized Anna Camp was that girl in pitch perfect. BUt her character is great anyway Why do so many people in this sing so well FactsAreUseless posted:I also think that Fey gets some unfair scrutiny, because her work is labeled "progressive" comedy, so it gets attacked from the left and the right for any failures (perceived or real) to be progressive enough.

Gyre posted:IMO the episodes with Tina Fey are the best because they actually address how therapy works and how it's a process. It's perhaps the healthiest take on mental health I've ever seen in a TV show, even if it's couched in the hilarious antics of an alcoholic. I'm also really glad to see some reality in media. It's important. This is how people learn about the world! I love this show, it's absolutely wonderful.

I was pretty hot and cold on this season. Some of the gags early on seemed a little too 'zany to be zany'. Also a lot of the Jackie plots fell flat with me. Lillian and Titus are still the high points. 'When Samuel L. Jackson asks what's in my wallet, the answer is ketchup packets.' E: I admit I did doze during part of my binge, but I'm bummed that Kymmi and Randy apparently made no appearances this season.
