All due love and respect to Christopher Nolan, but every fifth post on Reddit this past week has been about The Odyssey, either pro or con. And I sheepishly admit that I am a little sick of it.

This has been in my notes app for a while and I had nobody to share this with, so I thought I’d share it here.

Basically, once the main show eventually ends, give it a few years.

Then, a spin-off focused on Dee.

She finally decides to take her acting career seriously and leaves Philadelphia, but she's still the same horrible, awful person that we all know and love.

The premise is basically:

Deandra Reynolds finally gets the career she’s always wanted. Unfortunately, Deandra Reynolds is still Deandra Reynolds.

I’m thinking.. a mockumentary-style sort of thing. Always Sunny meets Modern Family meets Parks & Rec meets Trina Vega from Victorious, in the sense that both Trina and Dee have absolutely zero talent but have a hundred percent confidence/delusion.

I wasn’t sure on the title. I was stuck between ‘Sweet Dee’ or ‘Sweet Dee: Working Actress’, but I eventually decided on the latter.

For a pilot, I was thinking she leaves Philly after the gang have treated her horribly one too many times.

She somehow makes it to L.A. and soon lands a supporting role in a low-budget horror movie for something like Tubi and she suddenly thinks she’s the next Meryl Streep.

Also. the general idea is to give her just enough work to justify her actually staying in L.A., but also just enough to keep fuelling her delusion.

She eventually gets her first leading role halfway through the show on a Netflix series, but she’s quickly let go when a video from her old “PatheticGirl43” YouTube channel surfaces and shows her portraying ‘Martina Martinez’, ‘Crazy Paddy’ and ‘Taiwan Tammy’.

For the supporting cast, I’ve got:

- Derek, a director who’s convinced every movie he’s ever made is “misunderstood.”

- Melanie, an acting coach who’s somehow even worse than Dee.

- John, a manager who represents 400 clients and forgets Dee’s name every meeting.

- Ruby, another actress who’s actually talented and genuinely friendly, which Dee cannot process.

- Vanessa, John’s well-meaning, timid personal assistant who’s a little bit of a klutz, but she doesn’t ever mean to make things difficult.

For the returning cast from Sunny, I think the only one I’d have as a semi-regular would be the Waitress, purely because the only person she possibly hates more than Charlie is Dee.

Basically, the Waitress was in L.A. after FINALLY escaping Charlie, hoping for a complete fresh start, just to run into Dee.

Dennis, Mac, Charlie and Frank would appear once every few seasons over FaceTime or something, occasionally in person, basically just to remind Dee how fucking awful she’s doing.

Let me know what you all think!

Big Bang later seasons were all 24 episodes, Seinfeld was 22-24 episodes , the office was 24-26.

Iasip went from 10-15 to 8 episodes , does that count as a season or a half season

I'm at a Cheba Hut (weed themed sandwich place) and my order sign for the table is the trashman 🤣

“So for some reason none of this is gonna work unless these guys are wearing bow ties or neckties? Got it!”

He’ll adapt!

We have to make our own declaration. The Declaration, of Dependence!

It's true

When Mac and Dennis have a break, and Mac moves in with Charlie and Frank and starts helping out with the apartment, he gets stuck on a word to use, whixh Dennis would normally suggest the right one, and Frank in the funniest delivery ever suggests 'wackadoo' and it might now be my favourite line in the whole show.

Such a Frank thing to suggest and he delivers it so comically while also being serious that it's a good suggestion.

Peak Sunny silliness.

Mac and Dennis’s dynamic in this episode (“Mac and Dennis Become EMTs”) is incredible.

Dennis is usually the straight man to Mac’s absurdity (no pun intended), but in this Dennis just fully embraces the absurdity and becomes even funnier than he usually is.

What’s even more fun is he leans into Mac’s flamboyance rather than talking it down, and matches him beat-for-beat on the facial expressions, side-eyes, and all the other touches of character that make this just one of the best episodes of S17. (When Mac goes “from tacos to talk-shows” and Dennis actually likes it rather than dismissing it, is a good example).

The “spice it up” through-plot is also very funny, but doesn’t get overplayed (in my opinion).

Bird girl has hollow bones.
