There are hundreds of television shows being produced these days and The Good Place is one of the best of the bunch. However, as they say, “All good things must come to an end.” Sadly, that is the case for this comedy.
Michael Shur, who created this show, explained his decision to say goodbye the good and bad place.
After The Good Place was picked up for season two, the writing staff and I began to map out, as best we could, the trajectory of the show. Given the ideas we wanted to explore, and the pace at which we wanted to present those ideas, I began to feel like four seasons—just over 50 episodes—was the right lifespan. At times over the past few years we’ve been tempted to go beyond four seasons, but mostly because making this show is a rare, creatively fulfilling joy, and at the end of the day, we don’t want to tread water just because the water is so warm and pleasant. As such, the upcoming fourth season will be our last.
I will be forever grateful to NBC and Universal TV for letting us make The Good Place, and for letting us end it on our own schedule. I will also be forever grateful to the creative team, both on-screen and off, for the work and decimation to a very weird idea. We ask the question very frequently, on this show, what do we owe to each other? The answer, for me, is: I owe all of you a whole lot.
We look forward to a great final season airing this fall.
I thought that watching Ted Danson flossing would bring a smile to my face after this news, but it did not work. I don’t want this show to end. Can’t they take something else like Grey’s Anatomy or NCIS?
Elsa, Anna, Prince Hans and Olaf were all in the same room together and they did not say why. All Josh Gad said about this kissing photo with Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell and Santino Fontana (how did I not know that the original Greg on Crazy Ex Girlfriend was in Frozen until now) is “Soon enough…”
Could it be that we are finally getting a trailer for Frozen 2 soon since the movie is slated to come out on November 22nd? Or maybe it is a Frozen treat to give to all the girls in our lives as a little present for their birthdays? What could it be? We will find out “Soon enough…”
Whatever it is, let’s just hope it is not a song as catchy as Let It Go.
Even though Kristen Bell is starring on two shows, The Good Place and a Veronica Mars revival, she is being a little cheap when it comes to her hair. As in, she is letting her daughter style it for the Golden Globes. What do you think of the new look? It is very Anna meets Whoville!
Out of all of the shows I watch on television these days, The Good Place is my favorite. Every week, I look forward to seeing how devilish Ted Danson can be. Everyone who watches it loves it. Yet, not enough of you mother forkers are watching and that is some bullshirt. Which made me wonder if NBC would renew the critical darling.
Well, I guess they are afraid of going to The Good Place, so they renewed it for a fourth season today! And the fans got an early Christmas present!
Let’s celebrate like we are going to heaven, but party like we are going to hell!
BTW I wonder if Ted Danson did The Floss when he heard the good news?
Kristen Bell’s daughters, Delta and Lincoln, have our best interests in their hearts. That is because for the second year in a row they made her dress up as Elsa from Frozen instead of Anna. Which is her personal Good Place.
Hey, Let It Go is our personal hell, so a little revenge is not a bad thing. Right? Plus, who wants to dress as Anna? My niece actually went as her for Halloween, but she just turned one and had no say. You know because she could not talk.
