*shrug* Different people have different tastes. Simple as that, really. Humor is highly subjective.

[(Anonymous)]

Funny is very subjective, but I agree on clever. The Good Place is the most "intellectual" in that group of show since it tackles phylosophical issues and it does in a very clever and funny way. One of my favourite shows of all the time!
I also loved Brooklyn 99, but can't stand Parks & Recs and I'm totally indifferent to the Office (US). Kind of enjoyed The Office (UK) tho.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, very "phylosophical" indeed.

DAMN IT I knew I had to check the spelling. Thanks. I'm not a native speaker so this helps. I always screw up the Y because in my first language it just doesn't exist.

[(Anonymous)]

A bit late but sorry for being a dick.

[(Anonymous)]

No problem. I personally don't mind having my mistakes corrected since for me it's an opportunity to learn. Just remember that not everyone here or on the internet as a whole is a native speaker and some people have deeep rooted inferiority complexes about their English proficiency level.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know what to tell you, art is subjective. I think they're all great shows for what they are, and none of them stand out to me as a lot better or a lot less good than the others. Though obviously The Good Place benefits from one distinct thing which is that very few people feel it overstayed its welcome.

I have a lot of very positive things to say about each of these shows in turn, and it just doesn't really feel meaningful to me to weight them against each other as a merit assessment.

All those shows have one person in common, Mike Schur, given that he was one of the writers on the Office, co-show runner on Parks and Rec and B99, and show runner on the Good Place. So the comparisons aren’t just random.

[(Anonymous)]

AKA Cousin Mose

But for real, I think Mike Schur is a great tv comedy writer and show runner! I don't watch all 4 shows consistently, but all of them have their fair share of funny stuff and interesting characters.

[(Anonymous)]

You’re right! Yup that’s him, from the Schrute Beet farm.

He does a good job of creating relatable characters and setting up dynamics and relationships, beyond the funny and witty jokes.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I realise in hindsight that the secret should have been 'I'm sick of people recommending Parks & Rec, the Office, and B99 when I tell them I enjoyed the Good Place, because I've seen barely one episode of the other three, and I have zero desire to watch another one. Idk why the Good Place is the exception?'

[(Anonymous)]

I see. Some people enjoy a fantastical comedy while others enjoy workplace sitcoms. As mentioned before, humor and genre is subjective. It just so happens that at least one writer/show runner was involved on all four shows.

[meadowphoenix]

I don't really find the good place as "funny" as those other shows, but I find that the satire is more thoughtful and therefore better, and I like satire more than I like jokes. But also, I think think that those are all different settings that are going to affect how "funny" they are to you.

[(Anonymous)]

I definitely think the good seasons of Parks and Rec (3 and 4) are better than The Good Place

But god did that show get bad after that

[tabaqui]

Of all of these shows, I've only seen episodes (3, I think), of ONE of them - and that one was The Good Place, and I loathed it.

So, you know...you do you.

[(Anonymous)]

Everyone is different, blah blah. But The Good Place is the only show that I actually like in this list. I am not into sitcoms to start with, at least The Good Place is clever
