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

is poehler even in this show anymore? i feel like every episode i see she's in it less.

The last few episodes have had A-stories pretty prominently about her (Christmas scandal, hooking up with Will Arnett and then Justin Thoreau w/the diner party). But maybe the B-stories have gotten a lot of time, more than these shows usually give?

I think midseason is when they focus on the B stories, and the A story is usually ramped up at the beginning and end of a season.

Ron Swanson is secretly the lead character, I think.

Andy's band actually being pretty good at playing for old people is a wonderful development.

tbh i think i cld watch a whole show of rashida jones playfully/politely receiving gifts

i don't want a lot more plot-only episodes but every once in awhile it's good to shake up the status quo
this is light years ahead of the office now btw

office has become really stupid
april is a chick

oh weird she shares my birthday

i should of been an actress

This show's still doing well! So Rob Lowe and Adam Scott are joining the cast next season... wonder if that means any cast members are going to be "re-tooled" out of the show? Paul Schneider seems like an obvious drop...

Rob Lowe? Could be good, but my immediate reaction is NOOOOOOOO

(Would completely endorse Megan Mullally joining the cast, though.)

So Rob Lowe and Adam Scott are joining the cast next season

good.

Paul Schneider seems like an obvious drop...

indeed. so does amy poehler but i guess that won't happen.

I think Lowe might be interesting. I can imagining him playing something like his character in Wayne's World.

I hope he's mayor.

i'll admit it, i laughed

i have no idea why i'm laughin', but I'm laughin'

Amy is preggers and here we go with awkward plant placement etc

Paul Schneider got officially dropped for next season (seems like a mutual agreement), might come back for guest spots. Natalie Morales (aka chick from The Middleman) signed on for an arc.

HIMYM definitely had the best "yes, both of our lead actresses are pregnant, let's just come up with ridiculous stuff to 'hide' the pregnancies" run

speaking of the intro, i've watched a few episodes on demand, and they have a twice-as-long intro that is totally awesome.

i.e. the second half of the song is great.

youtube?

They play the whole thing sometimes.

permanently damaged into always hearing JABBA THE HUTT JABBA THE HUTT everytime now

Bummer that Schneider is leaving, but he has definitely had a reduced presence as the season has gone on...mostly just plays straightman.

I hope this doesn't develop into a cornball Andy/Anne/April love triangle if he leaves. With Anne single, it has that possibility. I like that story the way it is now.

Agreed. This has now risen to my favorite comedy currently on. Even though the last two have been only pretty good, there's still plenty of good stuff per episode....for example, "The Swanson Code"

I call it the wormlog!

also, the terrible triangle is clearly gonna happen; what a disaster for parks and rec

dammit. i really don't want to see that either. ah well, at least this episode was really amusing, just cuz it was an entire episode of ragging on Jerry

How often do love triangles happen in real life? Not that this show is that much like real life, but...

I always felt Jerry was treated unfairly until tonight, when it was revealed that he really is as bad as he's made out to be.

I am hoping for a very awkward love triangle. I think they can do it.

Jerry eating the burrito after pulling it out the creek made the episode for me.

That and the ripped slacks/fart combo.

"WOULDN'T EVEN SHARE WITH THE DOG"
if by "awkward" you mean "they lez up", i may be willing to offer approval

I really like how they're setting up the breakup-- e.g. the one episode where he's trying too hard to be a good boyfriend and anne is vaguely put off by it.

A love triangle isn't always bad (even when lez stuff isn't there)

Not to mention that April and big dumb guy are two of my favorite characters on the show

Rodent colleagues

Really, why would anyone eat anything other than breakfast food?

andy is such a stupid dick!!! leave his ass aubrey plaza u are better than that, gurl!!!!!

I hope this doesn't develop into a cornball Andy/Anne/April love triangle if he leaves. With Anne single, it has that possibility.

wait which episode did anne break it off w/ the other dude

not happened yet, but Paul is leaving the show, so people figured...and it seems like they hinting at an imminent break-up tonight.

ah ok. haven't watched tonights yet

I know Andy isn't supposed to be very smart, but how is it that he just found out she's only 20? Plot twist don't make no sense.

Can you Photoshop your life with better decisions, Jerry?

i don't think that's about him just finding out, I imagine he just didn't think about the fact that she wouldn't get in. I don't think he was like "oh she's young, I'm going home", I think it was just his usual "hanging out" with her and not realizing she saw it as a date.

oh god this dumb shit with anne's growing dissatisfaction is a bummer.
make this THE RON AND JERRY SHOW and cut out the rest plz

Can you Photoshop your life with better decisions, Jerry?

DIED at this, such a ridiculous mean stretch of a joke

agree on the anne/mark breakup is being dragged out too much, but they probably filmed these episodes months ago, so what can you do

yeah, andy was probably just oblivious about it being a date, and then suddenly realized it then, would be very much in character, though the age thing probably made it really stick out
