Neat. 📸

Not mentioned in the article, but director and EP Rhys Thomas is also known for co-creating Documentary Now! with Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Seth Meyers. And directing that MCU Hawkeye show on Disney+, which industry sources are telling me "exists."

  It was light and fun and, by marvel standards, properly scoped and structured. For a Fey/Carlock style sitcom, it's a decent bullet point in the CV.
Neat. I haven’t loved every single thing to come out of the 30 Rock family tree, but they’re pretty much always worth a look.
- What other things are worth watching? I looooooved 30rock till it went a bit shit
  
  Well, your standards are higher than mine if you think 30 Rock ever descended below "very, very good," but of the ones I've seen, Girls5Eva and Kimmy Schmidt were the best. Great News and Mr. Mayor were okay but not as good. I'm not sure how much creative overlap there really was, but I also liked Tracy's show The Last OG, though narratively it got a little weird and ended on a note that, if not an unfulfilled cliffhanger, is a fuckin' downer. The Saved By the Bell revival was maybe too ambitious for its own good, but it was an interesting idea.
Radcliffe was really really funny in that TBS show Miracle Workers. He really gave it 110 percent.
The title bears more than a passing resemblance to The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (UK, 1976)
