[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved 30 Rock and liked Kimmy Schmidt, both fully Fey's creations. I also think SNL was quite strong when she was head writer, and that Mean Girls was a well executed teen movie that centered girls and their friendships (and actually addresses the issue if relational aggression in teen girls in a useful way).

Pohler was the better SNL cast member (a more skilled improver than Fey), but I'm not a huge Parks & Rec fan. It's good, just less my thing (it's so much sweeter and gentler, and less bizarre, than 30 Rock). But the first Inside Out, which Pohler wrote, is a really amazing kids movie. I have a kid with huge emotions, and those movies have played a meaningful part in her learning to understand and manage them. There's a deep truth in them, plus they are funny. That's a real accomplishment.

And then I respect them as women with long careers in a tough business. By which I mean comedy, not merely Hollywood. They are trail blazers in many respects. My DD (the big emotions one) saw an interview with them recently and was really awesome by them, which is great. And because they are both very professional and private, I feel really comfortable with them as role models. I'm sure they are imperfect people, but whatever their flaws, they aren't spilling them all over the place.[/quote]
Amy Poehler wasn’t one of the writers of Inside Out or the sequel.[/quote]
