Pick of the Day: Mike Schur Presents Parks and Recreunion 9/7

September 1, 2020
News
adam scott, mike schur, nick offerman, nithya raman, parks and recreation, reunion

While 2020 continues to be a nightmare, you now have a second Parks and Recreation virtual reunion to look forward to very soon. Parks and Rec creator Mike Schur, Nick Offerman, and Adam Scott (and special guests) will be joining Nithya Raman and supporting her campaign for LA City Council District 4.

If you look to Raman’s inclusive and compassionate campaign and platform, it’s kind of hard to not see parallels between her and one Leslie Knope. This event will be donate what you can for Nithya’s campaign ranging from levels of “Eagleton Resident” (free) to Lil Sebastian Memorial Fund ($500) or even Pyramid of Greatness ($800).

This Parks and Recreunion is set for Labor Day on Sept. 7th at 7:30PM PT/10:30PM ET. Get more details and tickets here.

HBO Max Orders an Unlikely Friendship Comedy Pilot From Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky & Mike Schur

HBO Max Orders an Unlikely Friendship Comedy Pilot From Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky & Mike Schur

The combination of Broad City alumni Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky and a significant portion of the forces behind The Good Place, creator Mike Schur along with that has a Vegas diva mentor an “outcast 25 year-old” seems to be the sort of thing that a lot of streaming services are looking for right now. 

While this pilot order did come from HBO Max, we could see such a series get developed at Hulu, Quibi, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, etc. etc. All of that is too say that many streaming services are clearly aiming at younger cord cutter viewers that also have somewhat discerning taste in comedy. If that’s so across the board (in the realm of streaming), perhaps that means cheesy multi-cams will be no more? Only time will tell. 

In any case, this pilot definitely is intriguing with very, very funny people in charge and we kind of can’t wait to see who they cast as the leads. 

NBC Announces Their Streaming Service ‘Peacock’ with New Mike Schur/Ed Helms Show Rutherford Heights, The Amber Ruffin Show, and More

NBC Announces Their Streaming Service ‘Peacock’ with New Mike Schur/Ed Helms Show Rutherford Heights, The Amber Ruffin Show, and More

While Seeso ended up not working out, NBC is taking another crack at an exclusive streaming service, though it won’t be limited to just a vast library of original and acquired comedy programming.

Peacock, announced today, will carry a bunch of NBC exclusive content including a scripted series that will bring Mike Schur and Ed Helms back for the first time since The Office, former Late Night with Seth Meyers writer/star Amber Ruffin with her own streamlined version of a late night show in The Amber Ruffin Show, and SNL behind-the-scenes series called Who Wrote That.

Also, a movie sequel to the off-beat detective comedy series Psych and the third season of A.P. Bio are line-up for Peacock.

There are a bunch of drama properties that NBC has planned for Peacock as well, but we do think that much of Peacock success will have to do with a new Schur/Helms series.

Also, when this launches, NBC will technically be the first network to have four late night style shows (Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, A Little Late with Lilly Singh, and soon The Amber Ruffin Show). 

If this all sounds good to you, look towards spring of 2020 to get in on NBC’s Peacock.

LGBTQ, Spy, Adult-Animated Comedy “Q-Force” from Gabe Liedman, Mike Schur, Sean Hayes Ordered to Series

LGBTQ, Spy, Adult-Animated Comedy “Q-Force” from Gabe Liedman, Mike Schur, Sean Hayes Ordered to Series

We’re really curious how this will look, sound, feel, and how edgy it might get. Will it be Archer, but a tad more socially conscious? Maybe, since Schur’s involved, an animated version of Brooklyn Nine-Nine with higher stakes? Also, whether intentional or not, this should pair nicely with Netflix’s drag superhero cartoon Super Drags.

It’s hard to say at this point, but Mike Schur and Gabe Liedman and Sean Hayes together ought to come up with something that’s worth binging through whenever this comes out.

Parks and Recreation Will Have a Full 10 Year Reunion at PaleyFest

Parks and Recreation Will Have a Full 10 Year Reunion at PaleyFest

The entire cast, Mike Schur, and the creative team will all be present together at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood for PaleyFest come March 2019. 

Undoubtedly, it’ll probably make you tear up like the series finale did, but you have a few months to prepare. FYI, tickets will be on sale for the general public on Jan. 17th. We’ll be sure to remind you of that when it comes around.

Per their Twitter profile, The Good Place is rightfully celebrating their season 3 renewal.

This is a great moment to take a step back and, again, realize how prolific the comedy of Mike Schur is (Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and The Good Place).

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Is Getting a Fifth Season

Just recently announced, Brooklyn Nine-Nine got picked up by Fox for a fifth season. 

At a time when so many comedies have gotten cancelled, both in their first season and after a few seasons under their belt, we can have a slight sigh of relief for Brooklyn’s funnest precinct.

NBC Renews The Good Place for Season 2

NBC Renews The Good Place for Season 2

With a second season on the way, series creator Mike Schur can take his most high concept comedy yet in The Good Place and take into even more daring territory. 

If you look how Schur’s Parks and Recreation progressed over the seasons, there’s a lot to be excited for the future of the show. 

Mike Schur Just Got Another Comedy Project, Actionland, in Development at NBC, This Time with Matt Hubbard

Mike Schur Just Got Another Comedy Project, Actionland, in Development at NBC, This Time with Matt Hubbard

NBC really doesn’t want to let Mike Schur make another hit show anywhere else.

Again, Mike Schur hasn’t gotten The Good Place isn’t even picked for a second season yet and he already has Landlords in development at NBC with Matt Murray and, on top of that, just gotten to develop another comedy project with another Matt.

Actionland, written by Matt Hubbard, will be a workplace comedy set at below average amusement park in Arizona. There’s a lot of potential to be had there, especially since the staff of amusement parks have proven to be a solid catalyst for comedy.

If these two projects go to series, Schur could be in rare company by having more than a few sitcoms on network TV at the same time.

The Good Place Premieres This Week, Starting Tonight, with Three Episodes

Mike Schur is returning to television after having his series Parks and Recreation end perfectly last year.

His new show, The Good Place, is premiering tonight with back-to-back episodes starting at 10PM on NBC. The third episode will air on Thursday at 8:30PM, their actual weekly time slot.  

We hope this will be a good start to NBC’s new comedy line-up for this fall.

Mike Schur’s The Good Place Premiering Sept. 19th

For NBC, doing shows with Mike Schur has been a good thing (Parks and Recreation) and we can only hope that this dynamic continues with Schur’s latest show The Good Place. 

There’s a lot of promise and a big literally “otherwordly” universe to explore with Kristen Bell and Ted Danson in The Good Place and you should mark down the series premiere date of Monday, September 19th.

Here’s the Trailer for Mike Schur’s New Series at NBC “The Good Place”

Parks and Recreation may be done and gone, but Parks and Rec fans have a new Mike Schur-NBC venture to look forward to this fall: The Good Place.

Set in an afterlife that seems dreamed up by Leslie Knope, Kristen Bell plays a woman who thinks she has ended up in “the good place” by mistake. Ted Danson will guide her around as a mentor-of-sorts in trying to navigate her way around, especially since she recalls not being such a good person. There are plenty of great quirks in this afterlife universe that we can already see as potential great running gags for the series. 

We’ll let the trailer take it from there.

NBC Doubling Down on Mike Schur with Developing His and Matt Hubbard’s Interracial Family Sitcom

September 4, 2015

Looks like NBC sure missed Mike Schur, the mind behind Parks and Recreation. 

Already, showrunner Mike Schur has a series greenlit at NBC, A Good Place. He’s getting a second project into development with a former Parks and Recreation producer Matt Hubbard that will follow an interracial couple that moves to the South. 

Based off of that premise, if this project gets greenlit to series too, it might accompany The Carmichael Show quite nicely over at the peacock.

NBC Orders New Comedies From Mike Schur, Tina Fey and Robert Carlock

(via Deadline)

The prodigal network returns to its best comedy showrunners with ideas that are adjacent to Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock. It’s about time that happened. 

NBC has really focused in on dramas leaving comedies by the wayside as of late. With their new comedy slate announced today, they’re hoping to change that. 

Mike Schur, Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, the minds behind the aforementioned, Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock, some of NBC’s most decorated comedies in recent memory, have gotten new life at the network.

NBC ordered Schur’s The Good Place that will focus on a woman contending with what being good really entails and a pilot from Fey and Carlock that will follow a mother and her daughter as they work at a cable news network with the mother as an intern. 

We sincerely hope that this is the shot in the arm that NBC comedy needs and that’ll play out even better than the series that Schur, Fey, and Carlock brought to the peacock.

Aziz Ansari, Mike Schur, and Alan Yang Team Up Again For a Netflix Comedy Series

One more round for (part of) the Parks and Rec gang?

Parks and Recreation creator Mike Schur and co-executive producer Alan Yang are back together with Aziz Ansari AKA Parks and Rec’s Tom Haverford for 10 episodes of a new series at Netflix.

Plot details are scarce, but the cast will feature Jon Benjamin, Noel Wells, and Eric Wareheim and Smashed and Spectacular Now director James Ponsoldt will direct.

No premiere date has been set, but the series is already in production. 

It’s things like this that are making Netflix considered to be worth more than CBS, Viacom, and Twitter.

The Cast of “Parks and Recreation” Say Goodbye The Only Way They Know How on Late Night

Right after the finale of Parks and Recreation aired last night, the entire cast as well as co-creator Mike Schur (and a special guest that came to “Jamm” things up) appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers to relive all the memories.

Of course, the goodbye, perhaps the last time all of them will be in a room together went as memorable and as in the spirit-of-Parks-and-Rec as it could be. 

There was a barely rehearsed song for Seth Meyers.

There were toasts from one cast member to another one picked from a hat.

There was even another song that was supposed to be a final rendetion of “Bye, Bye Li’l Sebastian”, but Jim O’Heir, Aubrey Plaza, and Jon Glaser had other plans.

Armando Iannucci, Mike Schur, Jenji Kohan, Mike Judge, Jenni Konner, Chuck Lorre, and Marc Maron Have a Fascinating Chat

The Hollywood Reporter gathered together comedy showrunners Mike Schur from Parks and Recreation, Jenji Kohan from Orange Is The New Black, Mike Judge from SIlicon Valley, Armando Iannucci from Veep, Jenni Konner from Girls, Chuck Lorre from Two and Half Men (and so many more), and Marc Maron from Maron to chat for awhile about being a showrunner for a comedy series in 2014. 

The results are pretty intriguing and enlightening. At one point, due to the modifier asking the entire group a number questions that they qualified with an exemption of Lorre’s shows, Chuck Lorre asked, “What am I doing here?”
