Why are you busting my balls over this, Prof?
I'm busting your balls because you were busting everyone else's balls for not searching this information out. It was a surprise to me. I've watched every episode but season 4, I didn't know it was Colorado.
It was a surprise. Because most people don't, for whatever reason, go out in search of other content of a show.
What's wrong with it being a surprise?
Jesus.
I never said that it was wrong for a person to be surprised, why do you keep mis-stating the argument? All I said was that the show has consistently shown that Greendale is in Colorado, and that they've done that through on screen visuals, promotional materials, and in print media, and they've done that since quite early in the show's run.
As you've ignored the examples of onscreen confirmation I've already provided here *in the thread*, I assume in order to make it seem like I had to scour the internet to learn the location rather than just watch the show weekly on NBC, here are two screencaps from the show:
The first is from the opening titles of Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas, and it shows the license plates in the faculty lot. If you actually watch the video of the scene that I posted earlier, you'll see that all of the recognizable plates they show are from Colorado, and that they even show two separate variations of the Colorado plate:
The next is from Pillows and Blankets, it's Pierce's medical report, and states the location of his doctor's office as Greendale, Colorado. And, as an Optometrist, I'll point out that it also misspells Ophthalmologist :
For the third time, I'll state that I recognize that I was probably more apt to remember those things because I have spent a number of years living in Colorado. I'll also state, again, that it's ok to be surprised, but only if you've missed numerous, canon, onscreen confirmations of the fact that the school is in Colorado.
I'm in the right here. I've provided links, and screen caps, and videos to back up my position. I acknowledged that one might have missed this stuff, but it *was* there, and you confronted me, even on that.
This show may never before have shouted at the viewer that it took place in Colorado, but it certainly stated it many times. And, as I said earlier, this is a show that asked us to notice Abed delivering a baby in the back ground, that first mentioned the Ass Crack Bandit in season 2 (more than three years before his return), that had Beetlejuice pass the study room after being mentioned three times across seasons, that mentioned Britta receiving a used iPod Nano years before she got it on screen. This is a show that loves details. The fact that I picked up on it and you didn't doesn't make me wrong, and I'm not an asshole for mentioning what the show runners put there with the intention of being found.
*If* it's ok that you missed that stuff, than it should certainly be ok that I, and many others, didn't.
Alright?
I would hardly say I was "excited," but I was surprised. And, honestly, no, I didn't really give a fuck where it took place. The show didn't give a fuck where it took place--why wait until now to explicitly state it on screen? If they don't give a fuck, why should I?
I had to rewind that and watch it over again just because I was laughing so hard (something, I should point out, very few shows are able to make me do anymore).
