Ted Danson Says ‘The Good Place’ Writers Had Ethics Professors “On Speed Dial” For Accuracy
Following 'The Good Place's four-season run on NBC from 2016 to 2020, Ted Danson explained how the show's writers went the extra mile.
The 3x Golden Globe winner recently explained the lengths the NBC comedy’s writers’ room went to in order to more accurately depict its characters’ ethical dilemmas as they navigated the afterlife.
