Didn't the fourth season suck though I thought it was funnier than season 3, although it was much different than the original run |

Did y'all see where the inspiration for Dr Franff in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt hung himself and he was allegedly devastated by the show's portrayal of him

I figured that character was based on a real person or at least a collection of people but, damn, they were clearly basing it on that guy entirely. Article I read is claiming he suffered from depression for a while and that the portrayal of him was only a small factor in it but that's somewhat hard to believe. Will be interested to see how it affects the show if at all. |

It's sad, but the guy appears to be somewhat of a celebrity...I don't think you can really blame a brief parody from Martin Short and I hope it wouldn't affect the show...it would be like Jack LaLanne getting overly upset about Uncle Jack |

The former is pretty flattering while the latter is clearly not. As far as it affecting the show, I agree that it shouldn't at all because parody is nothing to get that upset over. I just hope no one tries to push the "bullying" agenda on them (because there's a somewhat valid argument for it). |

Uncle Jack is Martin Short's character in AD not Alec Baldwin's character on 30 Rock. |

I was clearly in a Fey mindset despite this thread being about AD. Forgive me for my transgressions.

This is awesome. I just hope they return to the original style and not the single character episodes of the last season. That format was a turnoff, even though there was some funny shit.
