Kimmy shows that it’s possible to deal with these difficult issues and to be truly unbreakable in the process. The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is bubbly and adorable, but it also tackles issues like PTSD and trauma. As IndieWire put it, “What makes the series remarkable is the fact it’s not just a show about oddballs and misfits, but is a misfit itself: A very funny sitcom about loss and trauma.” So adorable we could cry (and have / probably will again). The show itself is a misfit, and it’s a misfit that we love. But, primarily, it’s a show about beginnings and starting over and the resilience of the human spirit.” *Sigh* Source: AV ClubĢ6. As Ellie Kemper says, the show has “an arguably dark premise, but of course comedy comes from dark things. That’s the type we like, and the type Kimmy Schmidt rocks. You can have adorable with no substance, or you can have adorable with a ton of depth. Tina Fey was busy at work on adapting Mean Girls into a musical (love!) and Ellie Kemper was pregnant with her first child, James Miller Koman (double love!). Season 3 was postponed, which was frustrating, but for adorable reasons. Season 2 had even more freedom than Season 1, because the writers knew they could go with jokes, themes, and storylines that weren’t so network TV-friendly before. Kimmy wasn’t made for network TV, but she rocked it at Netflix. Jane Krakowski and Tina Fey were so tight that she didn’t even read the script before agreeing to play Jacqueline Voorhees. Jane was always intended to play Jacqueline Voorhees, the clueless ultra-rich mom Kimmy snags a job with. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was a continuation of the BFF love story of Tina Fey and Jane Krakowski, her costar on 30 Rock. It sounds pretty delicious, with “aromas of dried fruits, slate, subtle rosemary, coriander and roses lead to flavors of plum and black cherry cola.” Source: HypableĢ1. “Peeno Noir” was so fantastically popular that Burgess ran with it and created his own brand of Pinot Noir, Pinot by Tituss. 30 Rock lovers may recognize the tune behind “Peeno Noir” – it was stolen from the show’s “La Piscine” in which Denise Richards croons about her love of the swimming pool. The crew was behind schedule that day and wrote the song on top of a ringtone beat. The glorious song “Peeno Noir” by Titus was put together completely last minute by Jeff Richmond, Tina Fey’s husband and composer / executive producer for the show. Imagine, Titus Andromedon starring as Sebastian! Source: Vimeoġ8. Tituss Burgess got his start as Sebastian in The Little Mermaid on Broadway, which is so very adorable. Maybe big success is coming Titus’ way? Source: Youtubeġ7. Titus Andromedon is a failed actor on the show, but in real life, Tituss Burgess has been ultra-successful on Broadway. Even though it was his big personality that inspired the part, Carlock and Fey forced him to audition for the part anyway, to make sure he could carry the character through an entire series. Titus Andromedon was inspired by the real-life Tituss Burgess. She has a degree in English from Princeton and studied in Oxford before deciding to run with comedy in none other than New York City (just like Kimmy!).
