For four seasons, “The Good Place” was praised to the high heavens for its ensemble cast of Ted Danson, Kristen Bell, William Jackson Harper, D’Arcy Carden, Jameela Jamil and Manny Jacinto. Despite critical acclaim and Emmy nominations for Danson, Harper and Carden, though, the series has not registered at all with the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The upcoming SAG Awards will be the final opportunity for voters to acknowledge “The Good Place” cast, and if they choose to ignore the show yet again, this might just be the Bad Place after all.

Those out there well-versed in the rules of chess (not me) or who have simply taken hallucinogens and watched the 2005 Ted Danson-starring chess-drama Knights of the South Bronx (me, twice) know that the tile of Gotham’s Fall Finale—”Queen Takes Knight”—is perfect for several reasons. For one thing, newly-crowned Queen of Gotham, Sofia Falcone, takes the city’s resident knight, Jim Gordon, something fierce; by episode’s end, the crime daughter turned crime boss certainly has the Gcpd captain’s brass, justice-loving testicles in a vice. For another, there isn’t a …...
