Somebody with better video/audio editing skills should mash up "Pinot Noir" with "Immigrant Song."

Watched the first three eps and enjoyed them. Show very much feels like a YA introduction to 30 Rock's style of jokes/patter. I also get the feeling that they're deliberately not going getting any dirtier to change the rating away from a TV-14, even if the hyperfire refs pull from decades old pop-culture.

I dunno about that. They shot the first season thinking it would be on network TV. They're shooting the 2nd season knowing it'll be on netflix.

i am curious at what point in production they knew it was going to be on Netflix and not NBC. i'm pretty sure it was before they did episode 9, which has a winking referencing to "binge watching [a sitcom] on Netflix."

i definitely had a problem with the theme song at first - so hokey! - but i got used to it.
my gf is obsessed with the theme tune, sings it all the time

3 eps in and not entirely sold on this, though i like most of the actors. if i remember it took at least half a season for me to really like 30 Rock though. fave part so far was "Hashbrown: no filter"

Obviously entitled "Kimmigrant Song."

"That was the fanciest sentence I ever heard, and I used to watch Frasier"
This show is pretty cool, hits a lot of the New Yorkers-joking-about-flyover-country type humor that 30 Rock had. Lots of killer one-liners.

Cool thing is the country bumpkin stuff isn't the main focus so much as, as has been pointed out, satire of oppression, class dynamics, etc.

Can someone confirm that Xanthippe also plays Kymmi
― 龜, Sunday, 22 March 2015 01:21 (nine years ago) link
nope
Kymmi is actually Kiernan Shipka who plays Jon Hamm's character's daughter on Mad Men
― mh, Sunday, 22 March 2015 01:31 (nine years ago) link
I don't understand, why would they get the same actress to play two different characters?
I guess that Netflix Budget ain't NBC budget
― 龜, Sunday, 22 March 2015 01:33 (nine years ago) link
they aren't the same actress? unless you're having a larft
― akm, Sunday, 22 March 2015 01:40 (nine years ago) link
Idk man it's just kinda bizarre
Like they didn't think anyone would notice
Xanthippe and kymmi never appear in the same episode together
And then at then end in dernsville kymmi disappears

This show is pretty awesome! I loved 30 Rock and this has that same rhythm of comedy to it, it's so freakin' quick and snappy.

Kind of feel like going to Olive Garden. This show is insidious.

I like Tim Blake Nelson in this! He is taking an Earnest-type character one step further into realistic profound stupidity -- and that was offputting at first, but ended up being very, very funny to me.

Agreed! Anyone who hates on "GRATEFUL CAT MARRIES HERO COP" is some kinda commie.

OK I can't read most of this because I'm only like 5 episodes in but I really really like it. Titus! He's my favorite character in forever. "Ok, I'm not a handyman but that was my nickname one summer on Fire Island." Also, "Pinot Noir" was amazing. I love Carol Kane so so much and Jane K is great. It's sort of hit or miss for me still but a lot of fun overall.

"fave part so far was "Hashbrown: no filter" - Yes, so good!

I watched and definitely enjoyed this muchly. I can't say i unequivocally loved the show - the race/stereotype jokes are troubling, and there were a lot of bits that just died (Tim Blake Nelson) but I can.. almost... forgive them because this show is darker, unapologetically feminist (maybe?) and thematically ambitious than 30 Rock
I guess I want to applaud them for trying to do better than a just being a joke machine (for instance, as much as Krakowski's Native American backstory has been criticized, I actually liked it) and the themes about overcoming trauma and the eternal disguise are pretty well played. there is some risk taking here that wouldn't have made it to network TV, and i bet the next season - designed only for Netflix - will be even better
but I also want to slap them for being so goddamn lazy about so many jokes, so many lampshaded excuses... ("that's still racist, Kimmy!" "of course I know what an airplane is, I was in the Air Force!")
the arthur chu piece linked in the long duk dong thread is pretty on point, though I don't know if I would trust Fey & co. to actually use his suggestion of making Dong even more of a stereotype and turning it inside out without completely messing it uphttp://www.slate.com/articles/arts/television/2015/03/race_in_unbreakable_kimmy_schmidt_how_critics_are_missing_the_point.html
