God, so he's ALWAYS looked like a smacked ass? I thought that was just due to old age. Looks like someone went to town on his face with a club

> Ensemble shows always take time to get good. The first season is always going to be rough because ensemble shows rely on the friendships of the characters.

Sitcoms in general need 10-15 episodes to "find" their characters. Smaller show orders often translate that to a full season today, which is one of the big reasons I think the format has waned.

the RLM guys sure liked it a lot. Also hot damn, Rauch is petite, even with her ultra high heels can't reach Larroquette's shoulder

Exactly. Dude saved a lot of lives and gave New York a good rep for allot of years.

This is true, but it's not aligned with the acceptable reddit narrative as it actually gives him credit for legitimate accomplishments.

lmao. Biden happened as a result of the media finally dismantling Trump. Painting him as some kind of offensive weapon is simple hilarity. He won the nomination because he was the only perceived moderate among the 17 Dems running. If anyone knew how he'd actually govern, one of the others would have taken out Trump.

Big if true

I still need to show this to my Conservative parents.

They’ll explain it away like the ‘grab’em by the pussy’ thing, but I guarantee they’ve never seen it.

I always wonder what the young version of themselves would think if you showed them what they eventually become. Like would 20 year old RG see the nose wiping hair ink dripping conspiracist version of himself and be like "Cant wait to grow into that!"

It’s not an uncommon phenomenon in politics. One big event or personal story point somehow overshadows every horribly thing in their history.

John McCain coasted on nepotism and his POW status despite some nasty shit in his personal life and flight conduct that would’ve gotten any normal pilot grounded.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan let Bush Jr skate by numerous administrative problems at the time, and after the propaganda surrounding the wars fell apart he’d already won re-election.

Remember when he was 100% about to bang a teenager implied to be human trafficked on camera until Sacha Baron Cohen cut the bit short?

This guy went from “America’s favorite mayor” or governor or whatever the hell he was. To THIS. Guy ruined his legacy with Trump

Ensemble shows always take time to get good. The first season is always going to be rough because ensemble shows rely on the friendships of the characters.

Production of the first season, the actors are (usually) meeting for the first time, or getting to know their characters relationships with the other characters. The actors themselves still need to get to know each other behind the scenes.

That's why second and third seasons are usually when ensemble shows (think the various Star Treks) start to hit their stride. The characters' chemistry on screen and their friendships finally start to mirror the real friendships made behind the scenes.

For example: Riker and Troi in TNG had all this established backstory and an implied previous relationship, but the first two seasons, it felt like they barely knew each other when they interacted. But as the time went, and friendships built, their on-screen chemistry matched an implied genuine friendship off-screen. Same thing with Picard and Dr. Crusher.

While I wouldn't say he's terrible, blocking the railroad workers from striking is pretty fucking terrible

Laroquette is the best in The Tenth Kingdom which is where I know him from.

Wholesome and raunchy can exist simultaneously in a sitcom. Night Court had some raunchy jokes but it was ultimately about everyone being a family and justice being fair and about people which is incredibly wholesome.

Onetime his dark side literally dropped down his face at a press conference.

Also, Giuliani was saved by 9/11

Remember that time he dressed in drag and Donald Trump motorboated him?

Reveals? This dude has been out and open about his corruption with zero consequences for decades.

I’d like a docuseries that “reveals” why these people never get in trouble or pay consequences for their traitorous acts towards our country.

His sole job while working in the Trump administration? Be on call to play golf with President Trump.

Mfkr look like a villain from Gotham

The small bit I saw reminded me of David Bowie's Goblin King telling his goblins to laugh. Night Court is one of my favorites. The people gaslighting and saying the first season took a while to get going are gaslighting you. Every episode is great.

This new one doesn't even have jokes, just pauses and a laugh track.

The best was his Duke Golf team saga. When frat boy Dukie golf bros think you’re too entitled and an asshole it’s time to start reconsidering your life choices.

And then he sued them saying they had to put him on the Varsity team. And they had to let him play the Duke golf course for free for the rest of his life. He lost, of course.

He isnt and you are an idiot

It was renewed for a second season after the 2nd episode aired. In these times, that's basically a mega-hit.
