TheOtherOne January 31, 2018 Share January 31, 2018 This is only tangentially related to the show, but The Good Place was the first thing I thought about when I saw this. Fox bought the rights to the Thursday Night NFL games next year (and beyond), so they won't be on NBC. So no midseason hiatus for the show if it airs on Thursday again next year. They can run all 13 episodes straight through. Fox Locks Up Thursday Night Football In Five-Year Deal 7 Link to comment

JustaPerson March 1, 2018 Share March 1, 2018 I just noticed that the official instagram account only follows 3 accounts: Kendall Jenner, Kid Rock, and Ryan Lochte. Amazing. 5 Link to comment
BobH March 1, 2018 Share March 1, 2018 During the playoffs the show twitter used to follow just the Jaguars and Blake Bortles. Now it looks like Eleanor took over the account from Jason, and it follows things like Steve Austin, Atlanta Housewives and "shrimp". Have to keep an eye open to see if Tahani or Chidi ever take over the show social media accounts. 9 Link to comment

Just Here May 5, 2018 Share May 5, 2018 The show's official Twitter account is live-tweeting from a "For Your Consideration" event for the show tonight. (If there's more noteworthy tweets, I'll add them to this post.) I've also posted social media photos of the Neighborhood backlot (taken by attendees of the event) in the Small Talk thread. 1 Link to comment
ChiCricket May 6, 2018 Share May 6, 2018 (edited) http://ew.com/tv/2018/05/05/the-good-place-ted-danson-john-krasinski/amp/ “Ted said, ‘Absolutely, of course, I completely understand, I won’t tell a soul,'” recalled Schur. “And he proceeded to tell literally every single person who asked him, random strangers at cocktail parties, anyone he ran into he’d spill the entire season. And I only found out about that after the finale had wrapped. He was like, ‘Okay, I’m glad it aired because I literally told everyone that happened.'” Edited May 6, 2018 by ChiCricket 2 Link to comment

I appreciate what he says about not trying to outdo the season one twist. I abhor when shows get overly focused on twists to the detriment of the story. That was one of the reasons I stopped watching Alias in season three... the twists seemed to be done just for the sake of shocking/surprising the audience, even if it didn't make sense with the characters and the rest of the storyline. 3 Link to comment

Fukui San June 1, 2018 Share June 1, 2018 Downloading the official podcast I found there are about five ongoing fan made Good Place podcasts. Does anyone listen to them and have a recommendation? 1 Link to comment
Fukui San June 4, 2018 Share June 4, 2018 (edited) To answer my own question, I tried listening to The Medium Place podcast as I liked the premise of one unspoiled newby host watching alongside someone who has seen everything. It was a bit rambly and unfocused though. Then I tried the Forking Bullshirt podcast, and I liked it a lot. They podcasted season 1 after the first season wrapped, and podcasted season 2 as it happened. More focused on the show, and with a bit of focus on the actual philosophy cited on the show. Also, the official podcast was well worth your time. Marc Evan Jackson also knew the twist beforehand! The first episode anyway didn't stick to a "one show episode per podcast episode" format. It was just Marc and Michael Schur talking broadly. Highly amusing to find out that Ted Danson couldn't resist telling everyone the twist beforehand. Also the bit where Schur goes into detail about the implications of writing around the twist for the first season was great. You couldn't have a scene in Season 1 with Michael alone without one of the core 4 present as he wouldn't be in "character", for example. Edited June 4, 2018 by Fukui San 5 Link to comment
cpcathy June 4, 2018 Share June 4, 2018 So far, I have listened to Forking Bullshirt and one called Everything is Fine! The former was too much philosophy for me, and the latter tends toward light conversation about the show and other related subjects. The official podcast is the sweet spot, I loved hearing Schur talk about the show, he is so eloquent and I love all the comments about how great Danson is in real life. Everyone related to the show seems so kind, it's a breath of fresh air. 6 Link to comment

Desperately Random June 13, 2018 Share June 13, 2018 Great interview. Thanks for posting. I wasn't sure where they were and am glad I know before the first episode.

Danny Franks June 15, 2018 Share June 15, 2018 Listening to the second episode of the official podcast, I love their anecdotes about Jameela, and how she's "a force of nature" who really is friends with all the cool people in the world. I've never seen her TV hosting (I think she did either teen-oriented or music TV), but adore her on this show. She's apparently a guest on episode three so... off to download it now. 1 Link to comment
scrambled eggs June 16, 2018 Share June 16, 2018 It seems like episode commentaries on DVDs are becoming rarer (Parks and Rec stopped after Season 3), so the official Good Place podcast is a really nice replacement. Marc Evan Jackson should host everything. I love Mike Schur interviews. He is such a great showrunner, and I am continually impressed by how much thought everyone puts into the making The Good Place. 1 Link to comment

cpcathy June 18, 2018 Share June 18, 2018 I have both seasons on my wish list on Amazon and am waiting for the right time to click "buy." Michael Schur is on another podcast, it's called Indie Wire Toolkit, and it's another 45 minutes that goes way too fast. He's super fascinating as usual, and gives some more tidbits. He and the crew have thought about this show so much, it really comes through. 1 Link to comment
