I agree with you, but I think Dong is a salvageable character and I think the work was already starting to be done by the end of the season. By episode 10 (the last Dong-heavy episode) he was becoming less of a stereotype, so I'm hopeful that in S2 they'll move more in that direction.

I have! They do a good job starting to make him feel like a real person, which is part of why I don't have a huge problem with his character overall. I'd like to see even more in S2, though.

Interesting! I've been wanting to hear a Native American perspective on it since most of the outrage is coming from angry white people (which is fine, but we shouldn't be dominating the conversation.)

I feel like UKS should just have it revealed that Jacqueline was adopted. It gets rid of the weird "white lady playing Native American" problem and it also makes her journey to "find herself" more interesting.

I feel like I've heard "hashbrown no filter" more than "troll the respawn, Jeremy".

I really cant imagine Alison and Gillian staying after Season 6. If Danny's sitcom gets picked up, I doubt he will either. Dan keeps saying he wants Community to go until people don't want it anymore - would anyone really want that version of Community?

I think anything up to 30 is fine - HBO comedies successfully do 30 minute episodes. Over 30 is pushing it. AD Season 4 eps were sometimes pushing 40 minutes, which was ridiculous, especially since it was so obvious what could've been cut. Comedy tends to thrive on being quick, so when it's overlong it becomes very…

It had a good concept but I agree the ending was really rushed and sitcommy in a way this show typically avoids. Still good though.

Interesting how all of these are new this season (and Looking and Broad City are from last year.) It's a good trend!

I feel like that's pretty damn big, isn't it? I can't think of any other show without a straight white male cast member. (Broad City?)

I think Blind Date and Jack-Tor are pretty great, but they might work better if you're already familiar with the show.

SPOILERS but:

If you think about this entire show, it's pretty sad. That's kind of the point!

Oh yeah, definitely. To me, the show discovered its voice in Tracy Does Conan and solidified it by Black Tie.

Season 1 of 30 Rock is pretty great in my opinion. There are some rough spots early on, but episodes like Tracy Does Conan, Black Tie, Hard Ball, and Cleveland are all-timers.

I really like Titus. I agree that he could be fleshed out more, but there's plenty of time for that. Lillian is funny too, although I don't know that she needs to be super deep of a character. I kind of like the weird mystery surrounding her.

I wouldn't go that far. I would say maybe this is Futurama to The Simpsons, a different beast that is good at different things and not necessarily better or worse than the original show. (Also applicable: Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad.)

Yeah, stick with it. I'd say Tracy Does Conan (episode 7) is when the show truly comes into its own. In terms of humor, UKS and 30 Rock have a nearly identical style. (The difference is that UKS is more of a character show and 30 Rock is more of a satire, although they both have elements of each.)

It happened to me too! I figured it was more of an issue with my Roku/Netflix then the show, since I haven't seen anyone else mention it.

Tina said they'll just start showing people having sex all of the time. Not the characters, just random people in the background.
