Question for conservative-inclined viewers only.


Given what T.J. Miller just did, would you boycott season 4?

reply

Speaking only for myself, absolutely not. I think it's ridiculous to boycott a TV show/movie/product because of what someone believes.

He's entiteled to his beliefs and I'm entitled to mine. I think his behavior was contemptible but he plays a funny character on an incredible show.

No, sounds like he is just another Hollywood attention whore who is a flat tire or broken shoelace away from the downward spiral, because someone told him that his opinion matters and he now likely takes himself far too seriously. Crash Burn Rinse Repeat. What we aren't hearing is that he probably now owns the worlds most expensive Uber ride.

i like the way you think!

If the show turns into Trump or conservative bashing I will abandon it. If TJ just wants to try to slap conservatives I don't care. That has its own kind of karma.

This is why I refuse to watch anything with, say, Ted Danson in it. I don't care about his stupid beliefs, but he can't keep them out of shows he makes.

I have to disagree a bit. The Good Place was a really good show once all 13 eps were watched. But I agree, he does have that Alan Alda "look at me" persona. And after Meryl's outburst and reading a blurb about Gwyneth and her magazine Goop, I'm starting to wonder if winning a best actress Oscar is a first step towards insanity.

Most Hollyweird types are like the children of overindulgent parents, really obnoxious when they are getting everything they want, and much much worse when they aren't. The very few smart ones have figured out that they are going to be a lot more insignificant over the next 8 years. Living in a 20,000 sq ft house and whining about the environment is going to draw a bit more scrutiny.

Not at all. I don't care for any singer or actor's opinion. Just do your job, entertain me, and I will watch. Boycotting the show would actually suggest that TJ Miller's personal opinions matter to me. And they don't.

And I could actually understand how a show set in Silicon Valley would be excessively liberal, because that's just reality. California could be it's own country, it's so different than the rest of the US.

The beauty of Rosie O'Donnell is that she is so unlikable on so many levels.
