Glenn Garner , Deadline; Ted Danson Says ‘The Good Place’ Writers Had Ethics Professors “On Speed Dial” For Accuracy
"Following his time on The Good Place, Ted Danson is giving it up for the show’s architects.
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.
“On speed dial, we had three or four ethics professors who would talk to the writers daily to make sure what we were talking about was right,” said Danson on his Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, as co-host Woody Harrelson added, “Sometimes it’s good to get a second, third opinion.”
The Michael Schur-created comedy, which ran for four seasons from 2016 to 2020, starred Kristen Bell as Eleanor Shellstrop, an ethically questionable soul who mistakenly ends up in the titular ‘Good Place’ after her unexpected death."
