Help us pick the next TV show to react to!
Added 2024-09-12 13:30:04 +0000 UTCWe enjoyed watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, and we now know it's feasible to watch a TV show for CT... every once in a while. It takes way more time and effort to cover a show and do right by it and its fans. We have some ideas for TV shows to cover, but we want your input!
Comments
Heck yeah, The Good Place. It is, I dare say, the most "good" TV show made yet. You know, ethically speaking. The quality of the writing and acting is of course totally subjective (it's super good). But yeah, the show has some things to say and it's rather direct and didactic about them, to a point where I expect there may be a bunch of comments along the lines of "The character just said what I was going to say, the show is doing our job for us." And I bet it's going to be great!

2024-10-10 11:47:13 +0000 UTCIf I could recommend the only anime that I ever enjoyed watching it would be Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou. I think there is a lot of emotional depth in it.

2024-09-23 13:33:37 +0000 UTCI was camping for this poll but I'm glad where we ended up! The Good Place is a beautiful show that was way better than it had a right to be!

Julie Learn
2024-09-19 12:10:00 +0000 UTCLegend of Korra! Would love some more Avatar/Airbender content, and maybe even some Toph since she’s the longest living character from the original series. 🧐 Can finally see her full arc if you do an episode on her! I also loved Lucifer, it would be awesome if you featured the therapist in that show, or do more from that series!
Lisa C
2024-09-18 18:17:49 +0000 UTCI would recommend doing Erased (the anime not live action). I think it only has 12 episodes.
Serafina Pekkala
2024-09-17 22:02:55 +0000 UTCI really think that the live action One Piece needs to be on your list! Not the anime - it's far too large. But - and I think I've said this at least once before - there is SO MUCH to analyze within each character, especially Luffy. And the live action is only 8 episodes but does a truly fantastic job of distilling the characters' personalities.
Amy Petty
2024-09-17 16:45:33 +0000 UTCOh my goodness, I just saw this. I'm so stoked to see The Good Place is winning.

2024-09-17 16:43:52 +0000 UTCDamn, one piece is still not on the poll
Edward Newkumet
2024-09-16 18:49:25 +0000 UTCFantastic show! Hopefully it could be a possibility in the future 😊. There are just too many good shows, and not enough time for them all lol.
SaucyJTD
2024-09-16 17:41:44 +0000 UTCHas anyone thought of the show Leverage? I'm sure they would have a field day with the Leverage crew's issues.

tres 🫶🏻
2024-09-15 01:21:18 +0000 UTCPlease please please do an episode on About Time. This movie was Tailor made for cinema therapy. It brought me out of depression and it's my favorite movie of all time.
Daniela Galvez Flores
2024-09-14 15:10:42 +0000 UTCBefore we say goodbye to AtlA, can we please get a Toph episode?? She's the only one on Team Avatar you haven't talked about.
leafsheepz
2024-09-14 01:32:55 +0000 UTCThis isn't super influencing my vote, but I'd be curious to know how many (if any) would be first-time watches for either of you. I hope you'll get around to more than just one of these before too long. I love that you're opening up to TV shows now! I know they're longer and thus a bigger commitment, but that also allows for more nuanced and fleshed out stories and character arcs that movies can't always capture to the same degree. Again, so excited!!!
Konrad Curze
2024-09-13 23:25:25 +0000 UTCThis is a funny suggestion but I'd love to hear your thoughts on H20: just add water 😂
Sophie
2024-09-13 20:36:14 +0000 UTCI think even Schitts Creek. Probably Jonathan can do more detailed analysis of the series on Mended Light..just like how he's been doing for Gilmore Girls.
Prateek Sai
2024-09-13 18:57:45 +0000 UTCI gotta say, based on this list, regardless of what you pick, your taste in TV is amazing!
Nicholas Frega
2024-09-13 15:15:31 +0000 UTCI would also love you guys to talk about Bojack Horseman 🥰 it has so many amazing opportunities for character studies
Tune Flake
2024-09-13 10:54:15 +0000 UTCI really hope it’s Legend of Korra! It would be such a nice continuation into the Avatar world.
Tsam21
2024-09-13 05:14:24 +0000 UTCCome on guys! Let’s get Legend Of Korra into the number one spot! It’s just below Good Place!
Kasen Rogers
2024-09-13 04:54:05 +0000 UTCThe Good Place has so much interesting material to dig into. The ethics, the difficulty of making ethical decisions *alone* is a huge thing that I've struggled with IRL, especially balancing ethics against budget and survival. "I don't want to support but their stuff is on sale this week so I could afford more nutritious meals ..."
Wren Teslok
2024-09-13 04:44:50 +0000 UTCI feel like The first three run fairly long
Scott Rutter
2024-09-13 04:18:14 +0000 UTCParks and Recreation is one of my favorite shows and comfort show. I have watched the entire series ( I own it) countless times and I still laugh. The writing and entire cast is wonderful ! I still laugh at every thing when I watch it. I would to see you react to it. I also feel similarly about The Office just not as intense and I haven't watched every episode a gazillion times. I love The Last of Us and think it is one of the best shows but admittedly it is intense and sometimes traumatic similar to how I felt about The Walking Dead. But that episode with Nick Offeman was incredibly moving and made me sob but it was also full of hope
Angela Nichols
2024-09-13 02:53:11 +0000 UTCOh boy, I'm a notorious "didn't quite finish"-er of shows. Time for me to go watch the last few episodes of The Good Place!
MsHalcyon
2024-09-13 01:31:25 +0000 UTCWe haven't! We were going to include the therapist from Lucifer in our TV Therapists episode, but ended up going with some others instead. Might have to do another round of Real Therapist vs. TV therapists!
Cinema Therapy
2024-09-12 22:10:53 +0000 UTCIt is such a great show!
Cinema Therapy
2024-09-12 22:08:42 +0000 UTCMegan and I have been re-watching it (with our older kids this time!) recently. Love that show!! - Alan
Cinema Therapy
2024-09-12 22:07:49 +0000 UTCOoooh, I’m really pleased to see you guys would be considering TLOU. I wasn’t sure if it would be considered too dark 👀 Both parts 1 and 2 would be so good for content, though I understand that part 2 may be too spoiler-y to cover when the new season comes out. Regardless, TLOU definitely has my vote!
Emily Snell-Salvaggio
2024-09-12 20:53:43 +0000 UTCParks and Rec is my comfort show, so while I don’t see it winning here, I would be so happy if someday you got around to it. Just an absolute Chicken Soup for the Soul kind of show ☺️ Also The Good Place would be fantastic for plenty of psychology and filmmaking discussion!
Anna H
2024-09-12 20:39:37 +0000 UTCKorra, Community, and The Last of Us! Yes!
Rimigafob
2024-09-12 20:10:10 +0000 UTCMe too!
Rimigafob
2024-09-12 20:09:35 +0000 UTCThe Good Place has been one of my favs, and the last episode has stuck with me for a while. All great options regardless that I would love to hear thoughts on!
Rococo
2024-09-12 19:06:16 +0000 UTCYou. Season 3 particularly. I want to know what Jonos opinion on their couples counselling is
Sean Sussex
2024-09-12 18:06:36 +0000 UTCOmg so many AMAZING choices! I couldn't help but vote for 3 🤣

Lorelei Furan
2024-09-12 16:48:41 +0000 UTCThe Good Place is one of the smartest, if not the smartest show ever written. It's not only philosophically deep in the context but also the characters are deep and well-written. it's very well cast and acted (I love everyone in the show) and the character arcs fit so well in the overall point of the show. There's so much material for CT. 100% do this first and the others next, please!
Kate Ackerley
2024-09-12 16:33:51 +0000 UTCI feel like a legend of Korra toxic or not would be awesome
Sierra Roberts
2024-09-12 16:17:33 +0000 UTCLegend of Vox Machina would be a great show for you guys to cover. Plenty of material to work with.

Carissa Cunningham
2024-09-12 16:06:10 +0000 UTCI love all of these shows (except I got tired of The Last of Us and never finished it 😅) so I’ll be happy with any of them!!
Carissa Cunningham
2024-09-12 16:05:38 +0000 UTCI have never laughed and cried during a show like I did watching TGP!
Tiana Horsey-Daydreamer
2024-09-12 16:03:25 +0000 UTCYou can choose multiple, which is great! It'll show interest for future episodes, too 😊.
SaucyJTD
2024-09-12 16:00:24 +0000 UTCOh, I love so many of these shows! I hope you will eventually do more of them. If you do end up doing The Good Place, I would love for Jono to talk about Chidi's decision paralysis. I have never felt so seen in a character! And I would love to get a therapeutic perspective on this.
Katie Cline
2024-09-12 15:48:38 +0000 UTCThe good place is one my favorite shows of all time, I think that it's a wonderful source of some really good life lessons for people. Have fun choosing!
Allison Hall
2024-09-12 15:44:54 +0000 UTCKorra is INCREDIBLE and deals with a variety of topics in such an interesting way, especially the way Korra's trauma is dealt with in season 4. It's not on the list, but I would also recommend the Tangled series! Rapunzel and Eugene's relationship is goals.
Julie Dykes
2024-09-12 15:43:00 +0000 UTCEven if legend of korra isn't picked this time, please do it at some point! It deals with deeply complex and dark emotions well.
Rashida Islam
2024-09-12 15:42:44 +0000 UTCI would vote for the good place because it's been around for a while longer. The last of us is still fairly new, and a lot of people have not seen it yet, myself included.
Lauren D'Ambrosio
2024-09-12 15:38:48 +0000 UTCLegend of Korra is a lot less deep than its predecessor, but "Ranking Relationships in Legend of Korra" would be an entertaining episode. The relationships in that show are horribly toxic
Ike
2024-09-12 15:21:10 +0000 UTCI’m surprised you guys haven’t done Lucifer yet (unless you have and I missed it in which case mb) but if not, I’d love to see that video one day if possible!
Sean Achor
2024-09-12 15:04:54 +0000 UTCAlso someday consider She-Ra, please?
Brettany Shannon
2024-09-12 14:58:49 +0000 UTCKorra was a show I was not prepared for. It touches on some very interesting topics and it was quite the emotion roller coaster. It makes sense though since the target was teens and young adults.
BlackwingRed
2024-09-12 14:53:08 +0000 UTCThis is a sad day for Community fans 😅
JetPackEvan
2024-09-12 14:52:54 +0000 UTCIn this "The Good Place" versus "The Last of Us" mini-competition, I'd like to bring up that TGP is complete! It's done, you can react to all of it! So please pick that one! (not biased at all ahahaha)
Priti
2024-09-12 14:51:37 +0000 UTCWould love to see your take on Star Trek: Prodigy. It has the same values as ATLA, so I think it could make for a good watch and hold some therapeutic values.
TriggerNometry
2024-09-12 14:41:50 +0000 UTCI've not watched any of those, so I will sit this one out :)
Erin McCullough
2024-09-12 14:32:20 +0000 UTCOh I thought I could only do 1!!
Lauren Wagstaff
2024-09-12 14:30:22 +0000 UTCIt's multiple choice! Feel free to vote for any or all of them! All votes could help for future choices, too 😊.
SaucyJTD
2024-09-12 14:30:00 +0000 UTCFork yeah!
Lauren Wagstaff
2024-09-12 14:29:24 +0000 UTCSO TORN between The Good Place and The Last of Us but the sequel will be out soon so it would be good timing. And there’s so much there for trauma, found family, etc.
Lauren Wagstaff
2024-09-12 14:29:03 +0000 UTCOoo second for the Owl House! Or even Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts!
Jessie M.
2024-09-12 14:28:29 +0000 UTCI'd love to see you all react to The English (6ep western with Emily Blunt) or a classic 24ep anime like Cowboy Bebop! Or a show like Reservation Dogs (bring in a native voice)!
Jessie M.
2024-09-12 14:26:47 +0000 UTCPLEASE WATCH THE GOOD PLACE I WAS LITERALLY PREPARED TO PLEAD MY CASE ON THIS BEFORE I SAW IT WAS ALREADY AN OPTION I’ve been so hyperfixated on this show and honestly I think you guys will love the character development across the entire cast
Sarah Rodrigues
2024-09-12 14:24:47 +0000 UTCI feel like the legend of korra would be a great pick especially since you just did avatar the last airbender. Korra also goes through a lot psychologically as an avatar and I would like to see Jono’s take on it. And see what Alan thinks about combining bending with technology.
Alexis Jones
2024-09-12 14:24:39 +0000 UTCI actually know a show you guys would really love. It's called the 100 and it's on Netflix. It's a post apocalyptic show that has amazing world building, character development, and plots that span for 7 seasons. I think if you took the time, you'd really like it. It's an old CW show btw.
Brandon Payne
2024-09-12 14:24:07 +0000 UTCOoh exciting news that you all are branching out to television, occasionally! I am dying to see Johnathan go head to head with Dr. Linda Martin from Lucifer!

Faith Donovan
2024-09-12 14:06:05 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite series is Prodigal Son. It's about a traumatized criminal psychologist whose father is a serial killer, but unfortunately it only has 2 seasons.
Imogen Heiden
2024-09-12 14:05:32 +0000 UTCI was hoping to see the last of us here 💚💚 there is soooooo much to unpack. I love Joel so much. Fingers crossed to see it as a CT episode😁🤞🍀

Big Red Cube
2024-09-12 13:57:09 +0000 UTCI’d love to see your reactions to The Office. I’m now an AMFT and I see things with such a new perspective — and I think Michael Scott and Co. offer an absolute treasure trove for therapeutic commentary 😆
Ashley Herbinger
2024-09-12 13:55:15 +0000 UTCAs a die hard fan of both The Office and Parks and Rec, I was leaning toward Office until Darcie reminded me of the marvel that is Ron Swanson. I’ve never bought a funko pop, but someone close to me knew how much I cared about Ron Swanson’s character that they gave me a Ron pop and I have had it on my desk for years. Please, please, please do Parks & Rec and back in the greatness of one of the best characters ever in TV. And boy does he have things he needs therapy for lol I can recommend some specific episodes involving a Tammy if that helps.

2024-09-12 13:53:44 +0000 UTCThe vampire diaries? Sooo many relationships to rank and/or analyse
Verena Paters
2024-09-12 13:51:52 +0000 UTCI would love to see you do Community! That show does not get enough love imo. But honestly I'd be down for nearly all of these! Especially TLoU and Korra
Quinn Anne ASMR
2024-09-12 13:51:22 +0000 UTCThe Good Place had a profound impact on my life. When my spirit is suffering, that's a show that I will go back to. And not just because Shirtless Chidi is a major thirst trap...
BJ
2024-09-12 13:48:32 +0000 UTCIf you haven't watched them already, Jono did some Buffy on his Mended Light channel! They're great!
SaucyJTD
2024-09-12 13:47:09 +0000 UTCThey could do a whole mini series on the good place I feel like especially micheal

2024-09-12 13:42:28 +0000 UTCPlease consider doing a series on Derry Girls. I would love to hear Jono react to the complexities of coming of age in a time of strife. Plus, Sr. Michael is pure gold.

Rustin Farsi
2024-09-12 13:38:07 +0000 UTCI'm glad you guys are sticking to your guns and are not accepting all TV shows. Putting out a specific list of TV shows you guys are willing to cover is really clever! This is excellent way to stick to your boundaries, while also being willing to give just a little bit (but not too much). Keep kicking ass, CT Team!
SaucyJTD
2024-09-12 13:36:18 +0000 UTCAll of these are great TV shows. I gotta say the good place really got to me in a profound way especially with near ending season but no spoilers! Whichever you guys do will be hilariously awesome as always!!
Austin Daniel
2024-09-12 13:35:47 +0000 UTCLegend of Korra is the only one I'm familiar with that I watched the entirety of. I was thinking The Office was going to be higher though. I'm happy with LoK.
