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

i.e. if I opened this thread in 18 hours' time and saw a comment about the just-aired death of tom haverford it'd be my own dumb fault for opening the thread

xp uh oh

the only people dying will be the folks at home DYING of LAUGHTER because this show is S0 EFFING HILARES

this is the silliest argument.

try to enjoy the show tomorrow even though one sight gag has been revealed ahead of time everybody!

nrq maybe just stay off the thread - you don't like the show, doesn't mean you have to be a morbs-on-colour-film/geir-on-rap-music dick about it.

yeah this convo is ridic, lay off JF

also didn't this thread have spoilers about the episode with Ron in cornrows and nobody complained about that?

wonder when 'threads about shows' became fans only, a place to write down funny lines from the episode as it happens... 30 rock i guess

nah most TV threads aren't as precious as this one

johnny fever otm, australians are babies, sorry guys, if you dont want to get spoilered move to the united states

I don't understand why AA is one of the people yelling at Johnny Fever when he posted the original spoiler being complained about to the thread...?

I've seen shallow, brooding, 14 year old siblings argue over more important things.

Like when you're all "You suck, Dad!" and latch on to anything just for the chance to argue with him.

^this actually happens a lot in ILX

Re: ad spoilers

It's pretty well known that show runners/creators often have problems with what the network decides to reveal in the ads/promos for shows. I remember this being a big issue for Lost. So network ads can truly be spoilers--as can movie trailers, which usually give too much away.

Once an episode has actually aired, I believe the spoiler filter is off, because even people like me who never watch broadcast tv but instead watch the shows a day or two later on Hulu know to stay away from a message board thread just after real-time airing if they don't want to be spoiled.

If you want to post a link to the spoiler ad and give people the option of viewing it or not, I think that's cool, but don't just blurt it out.

Why not just extend the "stay-away" period to a day or two before airing, rather than simply a day or two after? If the season finale's in 24 hours and you're particular about spoilers why not just hold out another 24 hours?

Will the World End in 2012?

seeing ^^^ revived and reading from this post after reading the argument here made me laugh a lot today

Every other message board has pretty clear rules about not doing spoilers up to the air time. Or they have "spoiler" and "spoiler-free" threads. Which we apparently can't be bothered with.

Wish we had one of these.

nothing I tell you about that ad I saw will make it less funny when you actually see the scene.

not that I care about Parks & Rec spoilers or anything, but this statement is untrue! everything is funnier the first time you see it. especially when there's context the first time.

It's absolutely ridiculous to cry 'spoiler' when the information is in a promo for the show.

No it isn't. Keep fucking promos out of threads--they are created by network fools not show creators.

nrq its not so much the 'fan only' thing, its that you just bitch about nothing and it is just bad trolling?

?

you guys!

i don't even have anything to say. just stop cuz this is on tonight and we need P&R harmony.

Interesting:

Bill Hader's sketch group first practiced in Nick Offerman's workshop, of all places.

As turns out, it was Offerman's wife, Megan Mullally, who first told Lorne Michaels about Hader—who immediately phoned him and invited him out for an audition.

people who dont want promos discussed in this thread should start their own thread and chillll out

civil war!

Offerman is married to Megan Mullally?! SPOILER GAH!

I don't want to spoil anything, but I heard that next season they're all going back in time.

Chris Pratt is married to Anna Ferris (spoiler)

spoiler
chris pratt kinda looks like gordon lightfoot

PS I just realized that while I tsk'd Johnny F for spoilering, he did start the thread so it's yrs bro. I'm just here for the celebration of this delightful television program.

Amy Pohler is married to Wil Arnett !!spoiler!!! and Adam Scott has an inverted triangle head !!!spoiler!!

i love this. "ads aren't canon!!!!"

Decided to look through this thread to see how many times history mayne dropped in to shit on the show. But it was a lot and I got bored of counting.

i've been following markers's posting style i feel i lack a 'thing' to call my own. trying to make 'hating p&r' that thing.

ads are obv canon--eventually--but it's the network deciding what to spoil, not the people on the show, which is lame. Network trying to draw in people who could give a shit about the show. There are so many "next on" promos that have pissed off show runners.

so...Johnny Fever should have run his post by the showrunners first?

"next on" spoilers are viewed as spoilers on most message boards, whether or not posters have a direct lie to show runners.

lie=line

i don't think even ilx's threads about Lost were very uptight about promos, let alone any sitcom threads

been thinking about starting a triangle face thread but could only come up with adam scott and milo ventimiglia.

It's been a great day, ILX!!!

x-post notice how I said "most message boards", ILX obv. holds itself to lesser standards
