Classic Tennessee Williams. I mean wisdom.

:I want a second opinion!
:He's also lazy!

Or Leslie Knope.

I'm imagining The Rockettes doing the Can Can while wearing spacehelmets and slinky glittery body suits.

Goddammit

"What's MTV?" - presumably the same group

Couldn't you just call it an astronaut?

IMHO I don't really know.

Donut even get started with the puns.

Damn. I don't come here as much as I used to.

Ok fine, but when is he taking Teti's mom for breakfast?

Considering the concept of "Save The Cat" generally happens in the first act of something as a way to have us like/identify with the protagonist, I'm not sure the analogy works.

Nope, he's going to go live off the Keys on a houseboat and give fishing charter trips to tourists.

But what about the people who got it without hearing the writers explanation? Do the writers do a bad job if some people get it but not all? Or should their intent always be clear to ever last viewer? I'm not trying to make a point or argue something, just curious what you think. I could see arguments for either…

Other than the cutaway to the pot pie or whatever that guy was eating, I didn't find anything about Sam's operation "funny" nor did I think the show was going for that. Did I miss a goofy soundtrack or wacky noises or something?

If you'd told me the year it premiered that a show where the Devil himself lives among us and helps a detective solve crimes would last more than a season I'd have laughed at you.

Yeah, you might be on to something on the timing of the subject matter. Things are tense. But maybe we'll solve all that between now and the couple of years it takes to create the show!

And it might just be. On the other hand, maybe not. I think that depends on the execution of the material more than the subject matter. It's not what it's about, its how it's about it.

"while simultaneously asking audiences to wait until the show premieres in order to judge it on its own merits."

Eh, I dunno. There's still "My Mother the Car".
