Accountability in Entertainment • Page 347

No.

I legitimately just watched it all the way up to the end. I'm about to see the finale again. It did not age poorly.

People just assume because "government bad" and having the main characters want to be an active part of that system that it will age poorly. I mean, the show literally has the government trying to ban child's sodas, not sodas for children, but a soda the size of a child if the child were in liquid form.

It's just a positive show all around and ridiculous show all around.

 

not even remotely

 

It depends on if you think Ron and Leslie are supposed to be right

 

been following this and it's super fucked up

 

Parks didn’t really age poorly, but a lot of the actors in it have

 

Yup. Doesn't help that people are turning it into memes about Sandra Bullock

 

Especially when her partner just died and Michael Lewis and John Lee Hancock would also be responsible

 

The politics of Parks definitely represent a sunnier, Obama era that don’t age well when you consider all the not-great things Obama did or maybe didn’t do. But besides some cast members featured previously in this thread, I think it aged better than most.

 

I mean, if it were like the West Wing and trying to be serious I could understand that, but it's just a show about trying to make their community and subsequently the country better through local politics and as much as it is a liberal fantasy, I don't think it's painting things in a way that makes you feel squirmy 10 years later or whatever.

 

this is unfortunately fair.

 

getting ghoul politicians to ham it up while leslie goes googly eyes is definitely squirmy

 

being horny for joe biden and john mccain. come on.

 

Y’know, it might be practical to eventually move this conversation to, like, the unpopular opinions thread or something, lol.

 

no this is about accountability for mike schur

 

so weird that this gif is at my childhood ice cream spot

 

Parks is great. Deal with it.

 

I was rewatching parks a few months ago but gave up around the 4th season mark, don't think it aged particularly poorly but I found the same of the schtick a bit more grating this time around.

I think prime Community and It's Always Sunny are the only sitcoms I'd still really go to bat for.

 

Community? Okay.

 

Community is bad

 

Community is fantastic. My most watched sitcom by far.

 

Anyways, let's take the convo over to here:

We need to hold these people accountable for their bad taste in television.

 

YouTube star loses sponsor after saying she wants wine expert 'dead'

It’s giving James Corden at Balthazar. Why do celebrities think they can just treat people doing their jobs however they want because they (the celebrity) are not getting exactly what they want how they want it at all times?
