Not Ben Schwartz. Jean-Ralphio.

Maybe they visit his casino in Tajikistaaaaaan.

Also the P&R episode Doppelgangers is a perfect episode of network sitcom TV.

It's very simple, I think. How would you react if one of the actresses had a scene where she took her top off and walked around shirtless for a while, and tons of people started posting about how turned on they were? I think that would be pretty obviously gross. It shouldn't be any less gross just because it's a man that did it.

Its ok to admit when sexy things are sexy. What its not ok to do is to be creepy about it, or over the top, or to reduce the person to that thing alone.

Jeremy Bearimy would make this feasible.

Of course then there's the question of why Chidi would be calling himself Trent.

I think this is because when someone goes Demon their memory is wiped (not sure about physical changes like the fire people and nightmare slugs, although they could just legitimately be aliens).

I think it could be really interesting if that's season 4 and everyone becomes a happy torture monkey except Eleanor and she has to become the ethical teacher while Michael and Janet are off in some Kafka-esque bureaucratic storyline trying to get them out of it.

Which of course would last 3 episodes max.

Also, its totally believable that a bad place demon in a white man suit would think all black people look alike.

I am guessing they will find a temporary refuge in the Good Place, but the Good Place people won't ultimately be swayed by Michael and we move on to phase 41 in the 37th episode of the show.

Hahah just skimmed it and it was more about how exactly obscure the literary reference was

MaxieSatan had the only good take: roughly that maybe obscure academia isn't really an issue in a show where they routinely reference specific works and concepts that only a philosophy major would know

Seriously, I was a philosophy major and decided to check out Scanlon's book, "What We Owe to Each Other " and couldn't even get at the library. It's pretty pricey on Amazon too.

I think in one of the podcasts, Mike Schur said he initially planned it as a 4 season thing, 5 at most. So this seems perfect, I would rather stick to and see whatever his vision was than see it stretched and milked. Part of the show's charm is settling into a premise and then blowing it up completely 2 episodes later. I would rather see 13 more episodes, and then see the next Michael Schur project than a bloated two seasons.

This year was for An Emmy for Megan, but has been nominated before for his stand up specials, and he won once, not sure which one. But it spurred the amazing photo of him in a tux, holding his Emmy award, and drinking whiskey from the bottle in a fast food joint parking lot.

This week's episode of the podcast is really good. I didn't know Kirby Howell-Baptiste and D'Arcy Carden knew each other outside the show, and here they have nicknames for each other and everything!

Also the story of the watch that they gave Mark Evan Jackson (he plays Shawn) is really sweet.

Mark Evan Jackson is a great podcast host, I hope he decides to do a Brooklyn 99 podcast after this season, would be pretty easy to considering the overlap between the two.
