It's too rare a quality in current sit-coms. -- nm - TWuG Jan 20, 13:01
There's a character named Janet who is truly unlike anything on television ever before. -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Jan 20, 13:00 15

    - I haven't yet been able to watch any of the new eps. y'all are hurting me. -- nm - b. Jan 20, 13:20 2
      - Oof. The last one of those was good too. But as I said below: Binge watch them all tonight. Trust us. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 13:22 1
        
        I'm planning on trying, at least - I wanna know, I wanna know! heh. (I appreciate the non-spoiling, btw. thanks, y'all.) -- nm - b. Jan 20, 13:23
    - I know I'm into a show, especially a comedy, when I want to watch it live because I don't want to be left out of conversations on ST. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 13:19 3
      - Binge watch it tonight. Trust me. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 13:21 2
        
        sometime this weekend I will try and watch a few. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 13:28
        
        I honestly was about 60/40 on the show until last night (spoilers) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Jan 20, 13:23
- Relatedly: we were over at our friends house, and apparently she's friends with Janet from high school or college. - JaxSean Jan 20, 13:07 4
  - What's amazing about the show is that they cast four unknowns in major roles... - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Jan 20, 13:10 3
    - yup -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 13:42
    - William Jackson Harper is fantastic. -- nm - TWuG Jan 20, 13:16
    - Well, they went Danson and Bell for the leads, so that could have been simple cost-efficiency. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 20, 13:16
- Every character was so well written. Spoils - TWuG Jan 20, 13:04
