So great to see her on TV.

I'm enjoying the show

"The first seven episodes of the series were edited with the assumption they would be aired on NBC and adhered to a 22 minute time limit and included transitions for commercials. After the show was acquired by Netflix the episodes were reedited to remove commercial transitions and jokes that were previously omitted due to running time constraints were reinserted."

She absolutely nails the whole "15 year old in arrested development" thing on this show, her reactions are absolutely spot on and I can't picture anyone else in the role at this point.

I'm a few episodes in and it's pretty great. Never cared much for The Office, but I've always liked Ellie Kemper. Good solid cast and definitely has the 30 Rock humor vibe, which I've missed.

RichC2

Guess they cut down the actual opening song sequence by a few seconds:

2 episodes in and this is not working for me. Loved Ellie on The Office but this is too much.

I had my doubts after the first episode but having seen 7 episodes so far, I like it. I thought that there would be too much Krakowski, too much kids, too much Carol Kane, too much gay best friend, etc. But there hasn't been too much kids, Kane or Krakowski, and the gay best friend isn't as annoying as I thought he would be.

So it gets better after the first ep.? Watched it today and found it pretty annoying, though Kemper did a great job.

RichC2

It improves a lot around ep 4, had to find its groove.

I wasn't feeling the pilot, but by episode 2-3 I started really enjoying it. Only watched the first four so far, but I can tell I'm going to go back and rewatch everything. There are some really sharp rapid fire jokes in this show.

I wish 30 Rock went on for the next 20 years. It's my favorite show ever. I didn't know this was being made. So it was really a treat to find out about this show.

This show has the same surreal elements as 30 Rock. I'm liking it. I really look forward to more episodes.

RichC2

I wish I didn't finish all 13 episodes in like a day.

I've been resisting the urge to binge watch all the episodes. I don't want it to be over.

It was good to see Dean Norris out of the Dome.

and I still get a kick out of the name Xanthippe Lannister Vorhees.

This is a great show. I'm halfway through and just started watching.
Never watched 30 Rock, if it's as good as this I'll have to start.

So far I've watched nine episodes. I want to finish up before the end of the week. I'm enjoying the show. A good cast was put together. Xanthippe has grown on me a bit.

I'm a big fan of this show, but 30 Rock had a pretty long run and is certainly a better show than this and I can't imagine anyone liking one and not really liking the other. They are very similar.

Haven't seen the show but I'm hearing the show is kind of racist. True?

whotony

I think that's what Steven A. Smith says.

Joking aside, who told you that and what is their definition of racist?

Troy Stiffler

Now that it's ended, and I've watched it over and over, I can say that 30 Rock is my favorite show ever. Much like the way people can watch Seinfeld or MASH over and over, I never tire of 30 Rock.

I think I first saw it mentioned on Twitter. Found the following articles on the matter:

Eh, that's just something for people to get riled up about.
My only issue is that Jane Krakowski is on that show.
Can't stand her.

One trick actor.

I just finished the season and want more. When is season 2?

I take it some aren't thrilled about a white socialite originally coming from a Native American background & it being shown in flashback

RocShemp

Yup. Although the main complaint is that said white socialite is played by a white actress. Apparently it's only funny if the character were played by a Native American.

I wonder how pissed they must've been when the show casually mentions in another flashback that

DJariya

Most likely sometime in 2016.
