When asked by Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence how Harrison Ford was cast in the show, Segel said that Goldstein initially wanted a “Harrison Ford type,” and was going to audition people who looked like Ford.
Eventually, Goldstein spoke to Ford and sold him the role
Segel told Goldstein that he thought he would at least bring it to Ford, but at least he would get the word out that Harrison Ford had brought the project to him, generating interest from other famous actors. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he’s excited nonetheless.. Featured in WatchMojo: The 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023).
This is pure and simple fun
Crisply written, great one-liners, enough confusion for middle-class people to keep it from becoming The Big Bang Theory, a joy to watch. Yes, real therapists don’t behave like this, but anyone with a functioning brain cell will know that criticizing from that perspective is just a negative to bring down ratings. Are some of the characters stereotypes?
Finally, who knew what a great light-hearted comedian Harrison Ford was?
Yes, but no offense given and none to be taken, FYI, I worked with a gay guy who was the same stereotype shown here. The real success here is in blending the seriousness of therapy and grief with the growing pains of life at different ages, stages, and life paths, and turning it into a comedy. A total revelation and the show is worth watching for him alone.
