You forgot to do this when making that pun:

I have to say, I’m surprised that this whole thing actually amounted to something besides mere... Joshing around.

I’d like to see a multi-comedy comedy, even it it only has a single camera. I mean, that's four comedies.

I would watch Annie Murphy in anything after what she did as Alexis on Schitt’s Creek, for my money the best character arc in TV history

This. I think she’s gonna be one of those SNL performers that breaks out once they leave the confines of that show, a la Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

A Martin Short impression, on the other hand, sounds like a dangerous endeavor. There’s a nontrivial chance some kind of rift in reality permanently traps her there in the Martin Short impression: doing an impression of Short’s impressions; finally getting SNL airtime as (a pretty decent, I must say) Ed Grimley;…

She's a national treasure and criminally underused on SNL

Trickster is pretty good, if you’re looking for shows featuring indigenous people. Sadly, it was cancelled due to some unpleasantness with one of the producers.

I would greatly disagree with this assessment. Seasons 1 of The Office and Parks and Rec were both far different and inferior to subsequent seasons, and P&R didn’t really find itself until the total retooling in S3. Brooklyn Nine-Nine started off more fully-formed but like most comedies took a season or so to find its…

Nathan voiced the octopus.

It’s hardly recent, but I’d say Northern Exposure (to which RA has been compared a number of times) was great for Indigenous representation. The main cast was predominantly white, but for a show that debuted around 1990, they were incredibly inclusive, with two Indigenous main cast members (and a large host of…

You mean Tudyk? Or do you know something I don’t about season 2? :)

The only other show I watch that’s got Indigenous characters is Resident Alien, which I really liked, but has gotten very little attention here (even when there was a newswire about Alice Wetterlund, it failed to mention the show she’s currently on). Early on in Resident Alien there seemed to be space being made for…

I mean, it sounds good enough that I’d watch if it happened to come on while I was watching TV, but firing up a streaming service for a sitcom is a big ask.

I’m playing the Kingdoms of Amalur remaster on switch and am honestly amazed that I sunk so much time into this game when it originally released.

Of course. I love her water filters.

Meanwhile in the real world, we ignore Do Not Resuscitate tattoos because they're not a legal document and from a self-preservation point of view, there'll be hell to pay if it turns out the patient changed their mind down the line.

Anyone watching Grey’s right now, (yes we still exist) can tell you cameos from former cast members are possible during a pandemic, even if you’re filming a show in another country. There’s no good excuse here. One of the sides, or both, didn’t want it to happen.

One telling tidbit: the nurse who treats Frank as he’s dying is Macy’s daughter Sophia - you know, the one he paid a bribe to get into college? If that’s not emblematic of the tone-deaf nature of the powers that be, I don’t know what is.
