PARKS and RECREATION aka "Everything's coming up Amy"

torpl

wizz palace

you know, the toilet thing

This last episode was really fucking funny.

So glad dude embraced the crazy

I assumed that the show would improve a lot in the second season, but this start has just been amazingly good.

"TALIBAN ROBE!"

Yeah, it's been a drastic and noteworthy improvement. On a par with the office this season.

should I watch this? do not care for the US Office much.

Also, I am a big Ken Tremendous fan.

how is this show different from the office

so i'd only seen the pilot up until last night, and dang this show has improved. still feels office-y in its format, but the characters are actually distinct and funny.

whereas watched the office wedding episode(s) and am just sort of bored with their stupid schtick now

yeah im actually kind of pleased that this show started to get good just as the office finally started to suck

i think i may like it better than the office right now.

I do for sure.

Me too. I think the characters are just starting to come into their own.

I also enjoy this more than the office now. It's less like the office than it used to be.

also the characters are more likeable, imo

The Jim in this one is schlubbier and never looks at the camera.

also the characters are more likeable, imo

They're actually kind of nice to each other.

and aren't ridiculous cartoons

okay that was awesome. aubrey plaza mvp of ep.

best episode yet def

i love this show.

"this is our city planner."
"this city was planned??"

one of the bars in last week's episode is actually a lesbian/trannie bar near my house.

"this city was planned??"

OTM

viva mayor walter gunderson

this ep was ok. i don't know, something about the whole Venezuela premise was too obviously sitcommy for me. i do like it that Leslie has more chances to be semi-serious/not be a complete bumbling idiot all the time.

it was the worst episode of either season, but considering how great the season has been so far I don't really mind.

^^^this

great aubrey this ep tho

that's true. i wasn't really down with aubrey until recently, and this is one of those eps building her up as more than a one-note candy sour

haa xp u guys crazy this is the only ep i enjoyed fully - prob cause insulting s americans are funnier than cloying stilted flawed/lovable character dynamics - they should run w/the ott vibe and forget abt that 2nd rate officey bullshit

depressed girl and boss are funny - amy polher i feel like is failing to bring the required pathos to the character - indian guy is coasting - r jones is teh hot - guy from the assassination of jesse james is a good actor in a nothing role

i just hate that almost the whole ep relied on armisen.

he was hilar

love him, but the whole guest star thing always bugs me (w/ 30 rock, too)

it can be hit/miss imo. armisen was great tho 'thank you for your bottle of sap and your bag of garbage'

Def thought this was the worst so far. The regular characters have been so amazing these last few eps that, while Armisen wasn't terrible, I basically wanted him to get off screen most of the time he was on it.

I'm on team "weakest episode of the season but still pretty good".

really loving this show right now

It's totally surpassed The Office. I don't think there's a single P&R character I don't love.

my favorite is Dr. Mustache

I liked Andy showing up at Ann's house naked. Chris Pratt is v. funny.

gotta respect the Coach McGuirk cameo

It's totally surpassed The Office. I don't think there's a single P&R character I don't love.

OTM. I've deleted The Office from my DVR queue.

Jerry is such a unique character for TV. Hard to put in to words.

Excited to see what happens now that Andy can't live in the pit.

I hope he digs a tunnel and builds an underground layer, which causes trouble when they begin to dig the foundation for the boathouse or swingset or whatever.

Oh yeah...KABOOM...the post-credits thing where it's revealed that it's a prank was genius, it would've been so easy to make it a con.

and the post-post-credit thing where it's revealed to be real was heartwarming.

I know someone who works for KABOOM. It's a great organization.

This episode was funny, but I too belong to the worst-of-the-season camp. That's an indication of the high quality of the season so far though. "Practice Date" is the best episode yet.

practice date was next level

jon benjamin is always good! chris pratt naked was cheap but damned if i didn't laugh. liked this episode a lot more than last week's, this show continues getting better
