I'm kinda bummed to hear Season 3 goes more grounded. The show has always been the most enjoyable the less it tries to adhere to reality. I'm sure I'll still give it a look eventually though.

Just absolutely loving Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Just as recently as last night watching Laggies I wasn't sold on Ellie Kemper but she's just fantastic here. I kind of like that Jane Krakowski has made a career out of being basically the same vain, oblivious character from Ally McBeal through 50 Rock and now in this.

The show does seem maybe a bit problematic on race though. Hmm.

There was a show about Del Frisco's Grille and nobody told me?

Loving Last Man on Earth. Forte and Schaal are perfect.

Glad you're enjoying LMOE. (In production we pronounced it "el-mo"). It's one of the most unique projects I worked on, with such a small cast and no need for lots of people to populate a scene. Also helps that Will Forte is one of the nicest people I've met in the business. Curious how the show plays out for you. The story develops in a way that I'm uncertain people will stick with, though the finale was shaping up to be one of the best parts of the series.

Oh wow, didn't realize you worked on it!

Forte and Schaal have been among my favorite comedic performers for years so it has been awesome to watch them play off one another without any side characters. I was sold in the first few minutes of ep. 1 because some of the stuff Forte does is so well observed (salting the margarita pool rim being one brilliant example). I'm definitely curious how the dynamic changes next week.

Between LMOE and Man Seeking Woman, I'm glad there are some non-Adult Swim comedies that are not only trying something different, but totally nailing it.

Just watched S01E06 of Better Call Saul. First episode that I thought was genuinely good.
