Cheers is the greatest inspiration of the creator of the optimism of Parks and Recreation, and The Good Place

The comedy idealistic of Mike Schur

The modern slapstick comedy cannot be understood without Cheers. Thanks to its success, sitcom went from being a set of chapters that each half an hour pressed button "re-start" to a unit serialized where decisions and emotional baggage of characters had consequences in frames. They are conscious of it or not, almost all comedies of pure drink of Cheers. So what raises Mike Schur, writer and producer-star of humor to television's current who has never hid his reverence for Sam Malone and his band. Your series, usually limited to a single space (an office, a police station...), take your example and show casts very attached to characters exaggerated that y really only seek to do good, and like it. Friends eclectic, surprisingly, understand and collaborate. Stupid that appear in first episode, always end up in good way, and catch m sweeart.

Mike Schur (Michigan, 1975) had ir first approach to comedy at age of 11, when y stole from shelf of books of his far, volume of short stories of Woody Allen short Stories, without fears. Due to its earliness it is not surprising that end where y began so many comedians: as president of satirical magazine university Harvard Lampoon. As did Conan O'brien or Colin Jost, move of that publication to scripts of Saturday Night Live was step-logic. For eight years, program of skits, taught him what he knows about television as a producer of news from Weekend Update (its premiere was in first program after 11-S) and lurched to his life: in halls of studio 8H, he met his future wife, J. J. Philbin (writer of New Girl), and his partner Greg Daniels (with whom he created The Office and Parks and Recreation) and actors like Amy Poehler and Andy Samberg, for those who would create a series of ir own.

Greatest hits

All that he has done Schur since n has been a triumph, even if ir projects found it difficult to settle. Like it happened with Cheers, whose second season took off thanks to reruns of summer, adaptation of us from The Office took time to get out of shadow of original british and create your style. In end it was so successful that NBC decided to reward Schur (that is until I was playing bror of Dwight) and give it a spin-off. Thus, Parks and Recreation, a political comedy filmed also in key documentary, but finally separate, and starring Poehler. The series, again, only took off when he received an unexpected second season. But when ir characters drenched m, it was impossible not to be captivated by idealism of Pawnee, Indiana.

After giving a success to Fox with police, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Schur received carte blanche on NBC. Now sought to create something that broke with structure that he had perfected. For first time as only creator (but with Damon Lindelof, responsible for Lost, of counsel), launched experimental The Good Place, anor comedy optimistic that transpire in hereafter. Freedom has left to writer to dare to ask, after writing an episode of Black Mirror (perhaps your job more pessimistic, written with actress Rashida Jones), debates on religion, ethics and, above all, goodness of ir characters in prime time. I had all ingredients for failure, but it not only worked, but became comedy's most original television. Each week breaks down its structure.

What you have between hands

such Is passion of Schur by Cheers that in new season will again place to devil, almighty of Ted Danson behind a bar in revamped The Good Place (now at Earth after passing through heaven and hell). Is more, this fall also produces Abby's, comedy about a bar adapted to XXI century. Schur always returns to place "where everybody knows your name". Many share even actors. NBC has also saved Brooklyn Nine-Nine, while Schur is waiting for Aziz Anzari to produce a new season of Master of None, which helped to raise. If you ever relanzara Cheers, no one is more indicated. It is a matter of time.

What to say of him

The only controversies in which it has gotten ever Mike Schur are on Twitter, where, under pseudonym of his alter-ego of critical sports Ken Tremendous, has criticized numerous decisions of Trump. At beginning of August, however, decided to leave social network to its agreement with commentators of ultra-right. Perhaps here I can get out anor set.
