As humans we are constantly worried about how our actions may come back to haunt us. The Good Place (2016-2020) is a high-concept American sitcom that brought light to the dark topic of the afterlife, and the show tackled this worry head-on. Although it had a life span of only four seasons, The Good Place made a lasting impact on American television culture and garnered many accolades for producer Michael Schur (also producer of The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine). Author Erin Giannini argues that the show redefines the classic sitcom structure by mixing the genres of fantasy and comedy, while simultaneously teaching the viewers the importance of character development through the analysis of moral and ethical principles. Giannini also analyzes the "not so in your face" political commentary seen in The Good Place, as this show took place during a tumultuous time in American politics. Television studies scholars and fans of the show will enjoy Giannini's analysis of The Good Place as they read about the show's laughs and twists and turns. -- $c Amazon.com description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $t Notes $t Puppet masters and playthings: The Good Place as sitcom meta-commentary -- $t "Up to 104% Perfect": Narrative and Visual Style -- $t What we owe to each other: The Good Place's political commentary -- $t Teach me tonight: The Good Place's pedagogy -- $t Conclusion: whenever you're ready: The multiple meanings of The Good Place -- $t Notes 630 00 $a Good Place (Television program) 650 0 $a Television programs $z United States. 650 0 $a Television programs $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Television programs $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 7 $a Television programs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01147026 650 7 $a Television programs $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01147057 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 830 0 $a Contemporary approaches to film and television series. $p TV milestones. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8A711B62664511EDB99D19AA23ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
