Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015-9)

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was always a fun show to have on. The concept was so bizarre, the characters so out there and so very extreme, and the execution always very happy-go-lucky. Lilian was the authentic New Yorker worried about gentrification in her neighborhood. Tituss was the aspiring actor with dreams of The Lion King on Broadway. Jacqueline was the rich socialite. And Kimmy, the new arrival trying to strike out on her own in the big city. Together they represented a cross section of this wacko town, obviously to a caricatured degree, but there's a degree of truth in caricature. That's why it's funny.
