With all this positive buzz about the new NBC fantasy sitcom debuting tonight (September 19, 2016), will this one restore NBC back to Must See TV?

Between that and the new 'E.R.' retread Chicago Med, we can sit back and enjoy TV like it's 1999 again!

Then again...hey...if you can make money off it and it ain't broke....don't fix it!!!! If that holds true, I can only hope for retreads of The Practice and NYPD Blue

It looks like The Good Place might have a good future. The back to back debut pulled in 8.04 million viewers.

I haven't seen it but the commercial looks good.

The third episode was better, and it looks like it's taking cues from "Lost" with the cliffhanger that revealed the silent Jianyu revealing that he was sent there by mistake, just like Eleanor. NBC has found their next hit with this one, as long as they don't screw this one up.

'Taint Funny. Besides Mayday Malone, nothing good about it. Another example of hack writers who think obnoxious is the same as funny.

It reminded me of "Samantha Who?" Eleanor is cute as she tries to be good, but edgy in the flashbacks where she's just plain bad. In the other show, there was the bonus that Christina Applegate was hotter when she was the bad girl.

The assistant got on my nerves quickly, especially when Ted Danson's character was trying to make adjustments to her. Now if only Eleanor can take over the assistant role. I liked that the African guy is determined to help her after he had given up.
