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

Sorry, I just grossed myself out so I probably made others slightly ill there as well.

I would/will watch Amy Poehler in basically anything and sometimes I find P&R amusing, but it's sooo *slight* - sorta on purpose, I guess. It's just impossible to imagine this show getting the type of fanbase that it would take to stay on air. even if it were really funny!

The second episode this season was the best episode of this show so far.

It would benefit by being sandwiched between The Office and 30 Rock, but that would require them moving The Office to 8 and 30 Rock to 9... which actually would be a pretty great idea, leaving Community at 9:30. Of course, NBC won't move The Office out of the 9pm slot.

chris pratt's character's development (or de-evolution) is my favorite part of the show

The shot where they cut to him and he's standing knee-deep in the pit and munching on a carrot absolutely slayed me.

yeah, also "sugar sla-am!"

more Louis C.K. pleaze

he will be recurring throughout this season

his bit at the end was the best thing in the whole episode.

Def much better in the new season. Louis CK yes. Azir yes.

Aziz is great. "These are Souljaboytellems. Those are bonethugsinharmoniums."

it's been hit or miss till this weeks but this was the best one yet. Aziz keeps stealing it though with his shirts. The gay one last week and the monogrammed one this week.

But everybody was good...the boss in the chair even.

Every week makes me love this show more.

I thought for a split second Aubrey Plaza might break out her Sarah Silverman impression:

As someone pointed out on the Community thread, how did Chris Pratt become one of the best things on the show? Definitely agree that the show's getting better week to week, and Louis C.K. seems like a good addition.

it was pointed out in this thread

I always liked Chris Pratt on Everwood, but didn't realize he could be so funny and weird.

Watching the episode this week, I was thinking about that guy living in the pit and what would he do it it rained and then I got the answer. The ex-boyfriend living in a pup tent in a big construction hole across the street is up with weird like the guy having to climb a pole to make a phone call in Green Acres. I kind of like it and think they could just make a show about the guy in the pit and forget the other stuff.

He was the best thing about the show last season! I wasn't going to watch S2 until I heard they'd made him a regular character.

lol. reminds of the plans they had for the 3rd season of 'get a life' which never got made. chris elliott was going to be a homeless drifter, after living w/ his parents in season 1 and with gus in season 2

reminds me

my brain is mush, sorry, too much tab switching

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??"
