I would argue that the only thing making anything sacred is the beliefs of the person or people who believe in that thing.

The Bible or the Quran are only “sacred” because people say so.

I’m with Pythagoras on this one.

Is that you, Subway?

You’ve convinced me. I lean too far into the “appreciate the art, damn the artist” side of thinking to not be able to give fictional police officers a chance when everyone involved is a gem.

You’re absolutely right about that, most of the characters genuinely care about each other and it’s why the show works.

I do want to check out B99 eventually. Cop shows in general aren’t my favorite, but I like both Schur and Samberg enough to give it a shot.

I haven’t seen B-99, but The Office is definitely my least favorite of the three I’ve seen for exactly the same reasons you listed. I’m typically watching short form comedies for light hearted warmth, or else I’ll watch Community or Seinfeld

I definitely agree with you!

I have to wonder though if there exists another person on the planet who has seen those 3 Schur shows and hasn’t seen The Office.
