JUST BASH ME LIKE A RAT! JUST BASH ME LIKE A RAT AND GET IT OVER WITH!
considering alec baldwin hasa tendancy to discharge his gun sound about right.
too bad isaip went from chaotic evil to neutral in the later seasons.
no curb your enthusiam?
Shouldn’t Brooklyn Nine-Nine be lawful good?
The only lawful persons art Holt and Amy. For Jake, Gina, Scully, Hitchcock, and everybody else : it’s chaotic.
I disagree, pretty much every character in the show has a LG moment when they do the right thing in spite of being tempted not to.
I think the Chaotic rating works, no? Between Jake’s die hard antics and Scully & Hitchcock being themselves, I think it fits.
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)
These are all sitcoms.
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.
hes also somewhat amoral, because of his injury. the closest characther to another show would dr rush in SGU, they both had similar experiences that caused to be callous.
He had his moments of humanity, and it was to satisfy his curiosity as much as ego.
Agree, I imagine House only got a medical degree because he was effortlessly a straight-A student and it fed his ego.
I mean the whole show is about how none of that matters when you save someone’s life who would be dead otherwise
Puck from Gargoyles decided to mimic the most serious person he could find and serve a billionaire. All because he thought it would be hilarious. This is chaotic neutral. This continues to blow my mind.
Neutral and Chaotic Evil.
Chaotic evil :3
Mac: I’m Lawful and Chaotic Evil.
Chaotic evil :3
It’s chaotic neutral until you hit the evil timeline
Danny Pudi ftw 👍
Cool… cool, cool, cool!
Hot… hot, hot, hot!
I don’t know that system of a down music video
That’s still CN, and firmly in the murderhobo category insofar as “haha, it’s a phase” handwaving as canonical explanation. 😶
Fey and Poehler occupying the entire Lawful column is insane, and the truth.
Yes, Kenneth. :)
Chaotic shows good, all others much less so, got it
I’m Chaotic Evil. I’ve been watching IASIP since season 1 and could probably quote every line.
I’m neutral good apparently as it’s the only show I know.
I’ve seen almost all of them and can confirm that if you enjoyed one of the shows here you will probably enjoy each of them.
Wow you’re missing out on some of the best sitcoms in history then. Community and arrested development alone, then you bring in 30 rock? I think those three are the most tightly and expertly written comedy scripts, period. They all ended up overstaying their storylines and you can pretty much lop off a few seasons of each, but as someone who watched them all while they aired, I have a deep, abiding love for them and still find joy in he lesser seasons. Do yourself a favor and catch up on these.
I’d say community is many magnitudes better above the other two
I mean, “many magnitudes” is excessive, I think. I personally think it’s great, it’s my favorite. But arrested development and community are the only two in the same class as community. Who is head of the class is debatable, but the writing of all three shows is just phenomenal.
First three seasons of AD are some of the best TV ever.
The copaganda show … as chaotic good?
No. Heck no.
The Good Place is a much better fit.
eh, woke cops is a liberal fantasy, to be sure. Brooklyn 99 was put in an awkward spot in 2020 and did its best to try and talk about them. I do think it was made with the best of intentions, and the cop stuff is mostly like, a parody of cop stuff tropes, rather than a fetishization of the cops themselves (like, say, Law and Order.) Maybe it doesn’t excuse it totally, but it is really worse than say, Parks and Rec’s cheery depiction of depiction of politics (especially when it goes national)?
Part of what convinces me of it’s earnestness is how focused it was on representation. Theres a story about how when Stefanie Beatriz found out Melissa Fumero got the part of Amy, she was convinced well, that was it, they cast the Latina woman. I forget if they made the part of Rosa for her or they liked her so much they just cast her as it, but like, the cast being so diverse stands out compared to some of the more whiter casts on this very list. (and Im not knocking any show on this list, honestly. I liked them all except for The Office, which I never watched, and whatever LN is)
LN is Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
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.
Newer SVU episodes also acknowledge the issues and often essentially have the message that they (the very specific SVU team) are the only non-terrible NYPD team even within their own universe. I can’t speak to the other law and orders as I haven’t seen them.
It is copaganda but they’re trying their best. SVU in particular seems pretty self aware that it’s pretty much fantasy at this point.
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.
It’s pretty clear that you wouldn’t approve of any cop show that tries to work through these issues
Well I definitely wouldn’t say that, I’m a big fan of The Wire and We Own This City. All three are different flavors of copaganda, I just feel B99 lampshaded systemic issues instead of confronting them.
However I do agree that there isn’t use in arguging, and since we both made our opinions clear you go have a good day. ♥️
I’ll also not argue, not having to write valid arguments makes life a lot easier, but I want to chime in and say both brooklyn 99 and the wire are really good.

Whoosh
You
Somehow I feel like there’s probably sarcasm on that sentence that doesn’t translate from spoken words to text.
I didn’t think it was possible to take that sentence literally, especially knowing it is from a comedy show about the police.

I’m here and I brought my pitchfork, what’s next?
Good call, totally agree
None of them fit as well as Sunny for chaotic evil.
Community is pretty damn good for CN
