- "The Goof Who Sat By the Door" is the eighth episode of the fourth season of the American comedy-drama television series Atlanta. It is the 39th overall episode of the series and was written by supervising producer Francesca Sloane and Karen Joseph Adcock, and the final episode directed by series creator and lead actor Donald Glover. It was first broadcast on FX in the United States on October 27, 2022. The series is set in Atlanta and follows Earnest "Earn" Marks, as he tries to redeem himself in the eyes of his ex-girlfriend Van, who is also the mother of his daughter Lottie; as well as his parents and his cousin Alfred, who raps under the stage name "Paper Boi"; and Darius, Alfred's eccentric right-hand man. After staying in Europe for a tour during the previous season, the season sees the characters back in Atlanta. The episode, structured like a documentary, tells the story of Thomas Washington, a black man who was appointed CEO of The Walt Disney Company and intended to make "the blackest movie of all time", which would be A Goofy Movie. None of the main characters appear in this episode. The title and plot heavily reference Sam Greenlee's novel The Spook Who Sat by the Door, as well as its film adaptation. The manner in which Washington is appointed CEO is also reminiscent of Robert Downey Sr.'s film Putney Swope. According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.190 million household viewers and gained a 0.06 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received universal acclaim from critics, who praised Glover's directing, cinematography, writing, social commentary and pacing, with some deeming it one of the series' best episodes. (en)
