Great News (TV show)

[Yoda]

Wow, I found a new TV show Gideon hadn't created a thread for! :laugh:

Really enjoying this. I didn't think anything of it when I saw the promos, until I saw that Tina Fey and Robert Carlock were producers. I worried this might not mean much, but figured it was worth a shot in case it did...and it does. It feels like a spiritual successor to 30 Rock pretty much right away, in ways both superficial and subtle: big cast of characters, set at a TV show, female lead who gets a lot of mileage out of being, as Jack Donaghy once put it, "comically undignified." And, perhaps most importantly, it takes place in a heightened reality where absurd or impossible things can happen in service of a joke (but not so often that it overwhelms the underlying stories).

Just ten episodes in the first season, and only 13 next year (it's already been renewed). But given how much I loved 30 Rock and how desperate my wife and I are for great comedies in that vein, that's still...well, you know.

And I thought you've implemented some new fancy function. :(

I did kind of worry about that thread title, yeah. I thought about putting "(TV show)" after the title. I guess I should. :laugh:

But then it would say "Great News (TV show) (TV show)" :eek:

Congrats on finding a gap in the market btw ;)

For those people reading this from this point on, he's pretending not to realize that I just edited the title. ;)

Of course, we still run the risk of people thinking the great news is that we're starting a TV show.

Holy cow! I really hope this new tv show about mofo has somebody great playing me. Like maybe Will Smith or Ken Jeong.

You must have a very interesting face if Smith and Jeong could both pull your likeness off :D Idris Elba in white face for me or i'm not signing over the rights to my character.

Might check this show out, hadn't heard of it. I did like 30 Rock quite a bit but it became a bit too familiar and actually pretty exhausting after a while. Mostly due to streaming it after it finished, watching a few episodes at a time until i wasn't into it by Season 4 or 5. This may work more if i watch as it airs.
