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

no-one's going to vote for this or the office

ok maybe dan will. community became epic but this has fallen t f off.

I would vote for Parks & Rec, if the poll were only on the current season of each show.

or more like it was kind of "hey this is kind of good and will eventually click" but it hasn't

quite liked andy samberg's bit

i also did not like the jerry epi fwiw

now I'm epi curious

Current season of NBC's Thursday night comedy line-up

i loved jerry, i love all four of these shows. i am afraid of n/a's latest poll.

Catching up on past episodes and I can't help but rewind a couple times through DJ Roomba.

been watching a few episodes lately, show is growing on me a little, was amazed at the one where they actually gave Rashida Jones a couple of funny lines. they really need to try harder w/ her character, she doesn't even work w/ everyone else so it's like if they shoehorn her into the plot there need to be some jokes there.

just can't stand Aziz Ansari more and more, though, guy is just a vortex of unfunny, and they want him so bad to be this wacky lightening rod character he can't pull off.

I feel like Tom Haverford isn't really characterized consistently. There should be endless material with his strip club obsessions etc., but instead all we get are one-liners.

But man, did they ever knock it out of the park when they came up with RON FUCKING SWANSON.

some dude otm

yeah, very much so.

saw aziz live prior to his first mtv thing and man that guy's not funny

i think yall are being a bit harsh. it's not his fault the P&R writing team is rubbish.

some1 posted that scene from "the office" where michael scott "does" chris rock: there isn't a single scene of that quality in P&R.

i don't think AA is a comedic genius or ne thing but "if that was a drug deal i'd be shooting _________ in the face" is a good meme imo.

April's unnamed sister with no lines = biggest LOL of the episode.

Practice date is still number 1 for me.

people being a dick to Jerry never gets old.

I believe April's sister is Natalie? She's mentioned her somewhere before.

Leslie tied to the gate was hilarious, I think they could've milked it even more.

That must be terrible!
Only when I lose.

Give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day. Don’t teach a man to fish and feed yourself. He’s a grown man, fishing’s not that hard.

<3 Ron

Detlef rules.

"He's had two beers. Light beers."

the only person who doesn't thrill me on this show is mark. i know that they need some straight men/women, but he just seems like he should be on the office. all his reaction shots are so office-y.

still cannot deal with aziz

Mark will be leaving the show soon, so Scott's in luck.

"are you bothering her?" "no, I'm bothering *you*"

aziz's tom haverford is the only character on the show that doesn't feel like a real person, and that really sticks out like a sore thumb.

He reminds me of a couple guys I know.

I couldn't stand Andy til April started crushing on him. Now I have an Andy crush.

i was walking around my neighborhood earlier today and saw a film l.a. notice on a door that said "parks and rec" used that building for filming a couple days ago. i was so happy!

i may use that "no i'm bothering you"line in the future.

a lot of gushing, but i can't help but largely agree - the show has been so consistently great and the character development so well-handled, it's probably my favorite sitcom on right now (even if Community is coming really close to knocking it off that top spot with a string of great eps recently) in a time where we're suddenly basking in many new well-executed sitcoms

i like adam scott already - hope natalie morales stays on for a while

Isn't Adam Scott's character pretty much the same character he plays on Party Down? He even has an embarassing catchphrase he's trying to live down.

yeah was just about to say, lol at adam scott typecasting

His name on Party Down - Henry. His name on Parks & Rec - Ben. The writers must like Lost.

this episode was pretty much all just about secretive smiles and knowing looks.

yeah i still fuckin h8 any scene that ends with a character quietly looking at the camera. but i could like FEEL the show instantly improving and maybe becoming something i could wholeheartedly enjoy the moment Lowe & Scott showed up.

rob taking over like alec in glengarry. what a hoot!

the av club recap is really weird in that the guy is some kind of over-the-top superfan of the show but doesn't seem to have any idea about the announcement weeks ago that Lowe & Scott are new cast members, not guest stars, or that Schneider is leaving etc.

lowe doing double duty on P&R and B&S? maybe B&S isn't coming back. i don't read the news anymore.

He left B&S, I believe

got to 3rd base over the pants

everything w/ andy, ann, april & ben was hysterical

Amazing ep -- was that an Archer reference during drunk karaoke?

maybe my favorite Jerry moment ever with Anne there.
