I get the negative takes in this thread. All valid. I don’t care, though. It’s a sitcom and I really like it.

It was beautiful and heartbreaking and I hear it coming from Harrison ford rather than Paul and it makes me even sadder thinking about losing him!

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I tried to telegraph my sarcasm by using the word “gawd” but that’s on me for having expectations

Trag’s just mad because everyone in this show gets over their problems by the next scene and they’re all having fun again in their magical little neighborhood.

Had a friend going through something and he used Jimmy’s line about have dead wife face, but related to his own situation. The show is weirdly poignant for people going through it
