This Fall's Hit TV Show: The Good Place

Out of all the new TV shows this year, here's why I recommend this one!

This Fall's Hit TV Show: The Good Place
NBC

While there are many new and returning television shows coming to both basic and cable channels alike, one new show seems to stand above all the rest. The show is The Good Place on NBC which stars Kristen Bell and Ted Danson and was created by Mike Schur who has created belly-laugh shows such as The Office, Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The premise of the show is a simple one, Eleanor (Kristen Bell) is dead and she has ended up in the "good place." She is assigned a partner in this journey, is able to fly, and enjoy all the perks of the good place.

There is just one catch though...

Eleanor isn't a saint.

Due to a mix up, Eleanor's name was placed onto a life that deserves to be in the good place, but Eleanor's does not. Eleanor is a sinner in a saints world who loves to curse, drink, and be snarky. This of course does not fly in the good place where cursing is not allowed and everyone is nice to everyone. In my opinion, this will most likely will be the place that The Good Place soars considering the tongue-and-cheek writing that Mike Schur is know for combined with the snarkyness that Kristen Bell has possessed since her first television appearance in Veronica Mars, this will most likely be the strongest part of the show. However, Kristen Bell is also know for characters with a tough exterior but with a soft interior so it will be interesting to see how her character develops due to those around her but also how those around her will be influenced by Eleanor.

This is definitely a show to look out for among many hits and newcomers. Knowing the previous projects of those involved in the show, I guarantee that the show will be humorous, heart-warming and touching while delivering original material that no other show has truly covered previously. It is a must-watch on my radar, or at the mininum a must-record!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
