@NikkiStevenReact - FALLOUT asap! :]

Hey y'all. This episode seems to be missing from your "The Bear" full playlist. Just FYI :)

Literally EVERY TIMEEE

John bernthal is fire

"What's my purpose?"

@@brettcloud8550 whenever i get side-tracked or lazy, i now hear Carmy shouting "Purpose, chef!"

@@brettcloud8550 SHHHHH...

@@dtgstl3148 oh stop it, there's absolutely nothing to extrapolate from.

@@brettcloud8550 I'm just giving you a hard time. It's exciting knowing what's coming before the reactors get to it.

I mean, it was... he talks about how great Mikey was and how much he loved him, he talks about how he kind of regrets moving away from his family to become a top chef, and he talks about how he sees everything more clearly now than he did before. It's perfect

He didn’t go to the funeral either so a lot for him to unpack in that monologue.

When actors submit their names or have their names submitted for Emmy consideration, they submit one specific episode that is the basis of choosing the nominees - Jeremy Allen White (obviously) submitted this episode to the Television Academy for his award consideration.

I think part of the reason the producers submitted the show in the Comedy category is because its average episode length is around 30 minutes, whereas most dramas tend to be closer to an hour per episode, and there are more comedic moments in this show than there are in most dramas. I also think they knew that submitting it as a Comedy meant they wouldn't have to compete directly with Succession for all the awards (Succession essentially swept all the Drama category awards at the last Emmys), so I imagine the choice was at least a bit strategic - it's unlikely it would have won as many awards if it had been submitted as a Drama. A few years back, the Netflix show Orange is the New Black had a similar conundrum. It was initially submitted for consideration as a Comedy series, but at some point after the first season the show's producers decided to start submitting it as a Drama, even though the tone of the show remained essentially the same for its entire run.

@@dtgstl3148that’s true. Great breakdown

That's my interpretation as well, he took the money from Cicero and hid it because he was already planning on doing it but he didn't want to leave Carmy in the shit and he knew Carm could do a better job than him

😢😭😭😭

That second half especially is just *chefs kiss*

Second half is peak storytelling

So good

Nope - it's classified as a comedy because it's in the ~30 minutes category and not the ~1 hour category. That's how they divide them -- which used to work a million years ago when those were the rules for genre format and there were only three networks and no cable. The industry really needs to fix it, but it's hard to turn something that big in another direction with any kind of speed.

@@tzikehrusso2097 The showrunners decide how to submit the show - the producers of The Bear specifically chose for it to be considered in the Comedy categories. The show Orange is the New Black was submitted to the Television Academy as a Comedy for its first season by Netflix (and was nominated in the Outstanding Comedy category), and then submitted as a Drama for its second season (and was nominated that year in the Outstanding Drama category) and every subsequent season after that. The average episode length didn't change between the first and second seasons - roughly 60 minutes per episode for both seasons - nor did the tone of the show. It changed categories only because the producers chose to submit it in different categories. If FX, Hulu, or showrunner Chris Storer wanted The Bear to be considered in the Drama categories, they would submit the show in those categories. The Television Academy does get the final say on whether a show should be considered a Comedy or Drama, but for shows that have both heavy comedic and dramatic elements (dramedies), they'll generally defer to the producer's choice on how the show should be considered. Succession theoretically could have submitted itself as a Comedy if the producers had wanted to, but they felt confident that the show could be a strong contender in the Drama category despite being arguably the funniest nominee in the category every year. All that said, the actors, writers, and directors don't get to diverge from the category the show itself has been submitted in - if the producers want the show to be considered for Outstanding Comedy, then the actors must submit themselves for Outstanding Lead/Supporting Actor/Actress for a Comedy as well.

in my headspace, i will always classify it as a dramedy whatever it may be. 😄

The monologue was what won JAW his first award. I can't wait for you guys to start season 2!!! So many great surprises!

I never fail to cry 😭

I started watching "Shameless" because of Jeremy Allen White, but the rest of the cast is also terrific & so is "Shameless". Highly recommended.

I’m guessing with The Boys and HotD back, The Bear will be put on the back burner. (Pun intended).

Yeah, back this week... we just got backed up with other stuff.

😢

@NikkiStevenReact Those last moments 😭

When I wrapped up the first season of this show (and was wiping some subtle tears off my cheeks), I started chuckling and was recalling someone recommending it to me, saying it was a fantastic comedy they had recently watched. I was like…a COMEDY?? You call this a comedy?? Ma’am…agree to disagree here. Wonderful show, but I’ll never refer to this as a freaking comedy LOL

its a comedy to Chicagoans for sure...guess our humor is different

Girl same😂
