    I didn’t think I actually watch a lot of TV, but fuck me, I’ve seen pretty much every episode of every one of these shows, minus Brooklyn 99. Made it like 3 seasons and got bored with it.

    try House for chaotic good

    also maybe instead of “random shows that some dude watches” you could go for a theme like medical shows, cop shows, whatever?

    (oops all the cop shows would be lawful evil)

      House himself is a bad man though. He only helps people because it feeds his ego. Plus all the other shows are sitcoms and House isn’t really.

    The office is in no way neutral, it’s definitely in the evil scale. You’re meant to hate all the characters.

        Jim and Pam constantly pull pranks on Dwight that he has no fun in. It’s fun for the viewer, but they’re still terrible people. Daryl is also funny but mean as hell. If you’re putting always sunny and arrested development down there then yes, the office goes down there too. No clue why 30 rock is down in evil though.

        Of course - never watched any of them. To be honest y also didn’t watch scrubs either but I saw too many ads about their episodes back in the pre streaming era so I recognize some of the cast. Thanks

              30 rock is one of the very few shows that does not have a noticeable dip in quality.

              It’s just really fucking funny from beginning to end.

              Tina Fey is a god.

      Did you even see the last 2 seasons? They actually really confronted those issues and outright said that they weren’t really the good guys, the show tackled multiple times that the system is completely broken. I get if it was Law and Order being mad, but man you’re mad at the only cop show I’ve ever seen acknowledging and trying to tackle these issues. I mean, that’s literally why they made the captain gay and black, and that’s just one example.

        You just listed the exact reasons the show is copaganda.

        American Police are not lovable goofballs full of historically oppressed minorities realizing they are the bad guys. They are not “tackling issues”, they are lampshading and white washing them. Take the episode where Peralta meets the old detective from the book he loves on and is like

        Oh wow, old school police were racist… glad they aren’t anymore!

          And holt reminded him that it’s still a narrative that needed to be corrected. What about the one where Terry was profiled? Or holt was denied his promotion?

          It’s pretty clear that you wouldn’t approve of any cop show that tries to work through these issues, so I’m not going to bother arguing with you. I think they did a great job, a lot of those episodes were very hard to watch because they were confronted with choosing a career under one pretended and then saw the reality. To do that with a comedic tone is incredibly hard, and I think they did well.
