It's basically like 30 Rock without any of the humor or Jack Donaghy, ie a strong male presence.

In fact, after watching some more episodes to give it a chance I realized what it's like. It's basically what I imagine 30 Rock's the girlie show must have been like before they added tracy Jordan and it became the tgs show with tracy jordan.

Other than lacking a strong male presence for the male audience, a lot of the jokes just fall flat. It's like a giant ball of cliches. The kooky old woman and the stereotypically flamboyant gay guy... surprisingly generic from Tina fey, considering I love mean girls and 30 rock.

Its quotable, and some of the gifs those guitars make are pretty decent. Its fine. Its not 30 Rock or Always Sunny, but its... fine

I honestly think Schitts Creek is the better Netflix Comedy. Though I have some personal problems with the length of some of the subplots. Some of them literally only last like 2 minutes.

But its good too. Give it a shot

Im guessing Netflix bought the rights and labeled it as Netflix original? Its what they did with trailer park boys.

Clearly polish Jane Krakowski as a native American woman is a joke I don't even get, and seems to be oddly anachronistic in terms of comedy, which a lot of this show seems to be like the use of autotune for a theme song (which might be thematic considering the show's premise but still at the end of the day just doesn't seem that funny). Plus, she really does act just like an expy of jenna maroney but without any of the sympathetic or likable qualities. Which just further proves the 30 rock minus humor point.

they do that with every show they acquire and create or distribute the remaining seasons of. they've done the same with arrested development and the killing.

Is it? Hmm. I've been watching Schitts Creek on regular television here in the U.S. from the very first episode. I wasn't even aware it was on Netflix.

I'll admit that she's the reason I gave Kimmy a shot. But I just couldn't enjoy the show.

I started watching for Tina fey's name attachment and for her but it's just not enough. They're better in other things but this show is just not funny.

I honestly can't even fathom some of the jokes. Obviously polish Jane Krakowski as a native American woman is a joke I don't even get, like haha it's funny because it's antiquated racism jokes? What? Seriously Tina fey seems to have completely lost it with this show.

Disliked Ellie Kemper in the Office, never had any interest in watching her own show as a result. Ditto goes for Mindy K.

She says something that's halfway naive and halfway stupid, brandishes that huge smile of hers, and that's usually the indicator that you're supposed to laugh - but I already hate it when real people do that.

It might have gave me a few chuckles, but I dunno, nothing super memorable besides a song dedicated to black penis, and her large smile.

Yet it has quite the large following, and I'm surprised when 30 rock fans would find it likable when it's like a show stripped of all the elements that made 30 rock great and funny.

And by "elements," do you mean Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin? >_>
