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)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

These are all sitcoms.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I mean the whole show is about how none of that matters when you save someone's life who would be dead otherwise

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

He had his moments of humanity, and it was to satisfy his curiosity as much as ego.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Agree, I imagine House only got a medical degree because he was effortlessly a straight-A student and it fed his ego.

Shouldn’t Brooklyn Nine-Nine be lawful good?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The only lawful persons art Holt and Amy. For Jake, Gina, Scully, Hitchcock, and everybody else : it's chaotic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

I think the Chaotic rating works, no? Between Jake's die hard antics and Scully & Hitchcock being themselves, I think it fits.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

I'm Chaotic Evil. I've been watching IASIP since season 1 and could probably quote every line.

JUST BASH ME LIKE A RAT! JUST BASH ME LIKE A RAT AND GET IT OVER WITH!

We weren't quite sure what a worm hat was, right?
So we made a few of 'em.

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.

Mac: I’m Lawful and Chaotic Evil.

Chaotic evil :3

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I wonder what actor has the most of these shows. Fred Armisen has done a character on the lawful column plus brooklyn 99. I wonder if someone out there has 5 or more.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Will Arnett was a regular in Arrested development and 30 rock and made an appearance in Parks & Rec and The Office. And apparently voiced “Kitty” in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Chaotic shows good, all others much less so, got it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Neutral and Chaotic Evil.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I'm neutral good apparently as it's the only show I know.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I'd say community is many magnitudes better above the other two

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

First three seasons of AD are some of the best TV ever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

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.

It's chaotic neutral until you hit the evil timeline

The copaganda show .... as chaotic good?

No. Heck no.

The Good Place is a much better fit.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

LN is Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

[–] [email protected] 86 points 1 week ago (10 children)

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.

None of them fit as well as Sunny for chaotic evil.
