Hmmm well I never watched either of those, but I could more readily see it with animation given the gaps and progressions in various aspects of the mediums over time. Let's narrow it down - live action non-reboots with many of the same actors?

I liked the Veronica Mars continuation. Pretty closely linked to this show too

Party Down is the one that most feels exactly like the original show like they haven’t missed a step at all. The various B&BH revivals are a close second, but Party Down is nailing it in every way.

The WHAS series prequel/sequel thing was also better than it has any right to be. Not as completely jam packed as the movie was, but a very good watch for a 15 years later thing.

Well good to know there is other stuff out there, but of all the examples listed I have watched.. none of them, OG runs or post, at least to any meaningful degree. Watched a good bit of Children's Hospital but that's a bit more flexible in terms of what it's doing as a show and the tones it hits, plus there are shows that kind of work in the same spaces laterally off of the CH sort of approach and parody. This show has been a phenomenal.. I'd say revival? It all holds up so well, it's magical.

Ron walking out of the bathroom door, hitting the wall, falling back, and somehow falling into the wall again is some of the greatest slapstick I have ever seen

Adam Scott is great in this, and I'm happy that he really leans into how hollowed out Henry feels this time around. There was a lot of "bleh Adam Scott is the same in every role" then and there still is now. Good poo poo. But man, Ken Marino. He's always a blast of energy in every role, but no other show really understands what to do with him. Here, though? Its a perfect mind-meld of actor, performance, and script.

There was a lot of "bleh Adam Scott is the same in every role" then and there still is now. Good poo poo. He's very good in The Other Two as well! But I agree that he feels underused as a comedy actor when you see how good he is in these roles.

I haven’t been loving the reboot (and I was a bit cooler on the rewatch of the first two seasons than when I first watched the show like six years ago) but I don’t think anything on TV this year will be funnier than this https://twitter.com/i_zzzzzz/status/1640702879479762944?s=61&t=N2RxjCcZEoNL3LJNhAQ0dg

I think him walking into the wall with the second tray was funnier. I’m laughing again just typing it out. And the whole “is this food?….is this food?!” conversation. My god, that shroom episode was amazing.

Saxon doing dance videos, then getting huge numbers for a video of falling down stairs? Is Saxon Nathan Barnatt? Next we're going to find out he did a show called Sweet Ride in high school.

drat that was a good episode. Can't believe it took this long for Dan Bakkedahl to appear on Party Down but he was perfect. I was so happy with the character reveal at the end that I almost cried. Perfect way to end it and tease more. (please oh please make more.) Now to unsubscribe from Starz.

Ron suddenly realizing he lives in a cartoon was so perfect, because I too realized a few weeks ago that his character works on cartoon logic in all three seasons.

That was an enjoyable finale to a fun season. I was hoping we'd get Casey back before it ended. A fourth season with her back would be amazing.

If that ends up being the series finale I’ll be content. All the people showed up in some manner and things are lightly optimistic. What a great season

I can't believe the season's already finished, I could have done with another 10 episodes. I know it's been said, but man, it's like they didn't lose a step over the last ten or fifteen years, this season was consistently great. Also, doing a rewatch of S1 while I'm doing housework, and I just got to the porn awards episode. It's got Stormy Daniels!

Wow what a great ending, more relatable than any piece of media I've ever seen about being middle aged. e: The resolution of Henry realizing his dreams didn't work out and it's time to let them go because the life that happened to him is pretty great was just perfect, plus running into an old friend who you think is doing amazing but actually hates their life was
