Aaron Pearson @aaronpg.bsky.social · 08/09/2023Schur's oeuvre, especially The Good Place and Parks and Rec, is a great tonic to whatever the hell this phenomenon is. He seems almost unique - among current TV showrunners - in his recognition that you can have both a heart AND a brain. 000
Aaron Pearson @aaronpg.bsky.social · 08/09/2023So we end up with shows that have heart, but no bite. And there's a kind of aggressive blandness to them that bothers me more and more. It starts to ring false, and seems emblematic of some deep problem with our society. Toxic positivity maybe? Idk, but I think that's part of it. 100
Aaron Pearson @aaronpg.bsky.social · 08/09/2023See also Hawaiian pizza (which I actually like), or "The Lady in Red" by Richard Marx. It's not always about punching up OR down. Sometimes it's simply a matter of taste. The thing that bothers me about Scrubs or Lasso or Spin City, as much as I love them, is that they are afraid to have taste. 110
Aaron Pearson @aaronpg.bsky.social · 08/09/2023E.g. in The Good Place, we learn that the Kars4Kids theme song is the national anthem of Hell. This is not a criticism of Kars4Kids as a charity, but of the song as a piece of art. Can you imagine Ted Lasso making an aesthetic judgement like that? No: I think Lawrence would think it was "too mean." 100
