5 Shows Similar to The Good Place

The Good Place is one of the greatest TV shows of our modern age. It doesn't run all the time because we don't want to always kill actors. What a poor world it would be without Kristen Bell. I mean, the world of great shows and mediocre movies would be sad. Well, guess what? You can have it all because, much like quaggas, we can now have shows that are almost like The Good Place.

1. Hell is My Marriage

Well, if you love the comic version of hell, like The Good Place show, but in a metaphysical sense, then you could watch KBC's hit TV show Hell is My Marriage. All you've got to do is not mind an hour of screaming. I don't. For me it's like a loud show with big jokes. I mean it's just screaming. It may at some point have started as a Married with Children thing, but they got rid of any characters, and it's just a shot of a man screaming, then a shot of a woman screaming, then a laugh. It's freaking sweet.

2.  Grey

The Good Place is both a treatise on mortality as well as in a general sense a treatise on the sitcom itself, so would you like to see a show also about those two? This sitcom, Grey,  is about a group of wacky scientists who make a hyper advanced computer out of sticky flesh that oozes and breathes with the wind. The scientists have to juggle both the single world and the fact the this new computer is grey, and that that world is being redefined by the computer's power.

3.  Hair

No, this is not the adaptation of the musical. This Hair is about hair that lives in the vents of the White House, and walks out at night to speak to the roaches that live there. It's about its visions of the apocalyptic nature, that the biosphere will die and nothing will grow, and that humans and cattle will be wiped out. The roaches swarm when they hear this. Manny Jacinto guest starred a few times.

4. The Beautiful Ones

They stay in their homes as the world outside eats itself. I laugh so many times, six, seven, even eight times per minute. The Beautiful Ones is rated almost as high as The Good Place, which got a ten, although The Good Place laughs only last four seconds, whereas The Beautiful Ones last for five. I think if you are a fan of The Good Place you should see this show, as it's a good show. In The Beautiful Ones  the beautiful people stay in their homes and say funny things to each other. They see only themselves as the world decays around them. The beautiful ones do not need the outside world as they just stay in their homes and have coffee shops in their homes where they make jokes and keep being beautiful. This show is called Friends in some markets.

5. The Fish Know

While we were watching TV the fish were also watching it. They know TV as well as dogs do. They see this thing that we gave them the blue print for, and they now can reproduce it. The Fish Know is a 3 camera sitcom that Michael Sher worte for.
