Surprised there hasn't ever been a thread for this at least far as I've found. Anyone else obsessed with this show? Every week my favorite character changes and where I thought the plot was going changes. Also, wrestling references! I really hope they get Stone Cold to show up in some capacity.
Anyone else love it? Favorite scenes, moments?

Absolutely head-over-heels with it. Just the most positive, clever show in the game and it's actually genius that they've managed to pretty much turn the entire thing on its head repeatedly without ever feeling like a gimmicky, slapped-together rush job. Legit dunno how they managed to bolt philosophy 101 to a broad-minded vehicle and have it take off so successfully.

I forkin love it. I think my favorite moment was the restart when Jason discovered they were in the bad place "You ever notice how we're always fighting? Plus none of the TV's have NFL Red Zone. I think this is the bad place" "JASON figured it out! Oh. This is a new low."

Love it. I pretty much worship at the altar of Mike Schur. His work is smart and funny without being cynical. And pretty much anything involving Jason and/or Janet is gold.

One of my favourite shows of the moment.
I adore Kristen Bell anyway (and the rest of the cast is great), and Michael Schur as been involved in some of my favourite comedies of the last few years.

I keep going back and forth on it, but it may be because we haven't watched with any regularity.

A f***ing amazing show. Like the secret true successor to LOST with tons of improvements. I marked so hard for {Spoiler} the homage to the LOST season two opening scene in this week's episode.

I have never seen a show that subverts my expectations SO OFTEN and yet it never feels gimmicky. It always feels like it's going somewhere you didn't expect, but not for the sake of that in itself.

Best comedy on TV, bar none.

I keep going back and forth on it, but it may be because we haven't watched with any regularity. It's the rare sitcom that actually has a detailed storyline so just watching random episodes can't really capture the total genius of the show.

There are so many great moments, the show is an endless cascade of comedy. That said, this is still one of the funniest 2 minutes of anything ever.

Also the most detailed background jokes since early Simpsons, just the level of detail put into everything is stunning. Pretty much every episode you'll miss a ton of background stuff.

Yeah, we've watched a lot of it in order but the breaks are what are throwing me off. May have to binge from the beginning to current.
