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

loved when ron and (aubrey) started to warm up to ann's hospital talk. what did ron say? like "no. speak." or something

The NPR announcement "providing umbrella hats for homeless people when it rains"...omg I died

the dan castellanetta stuff was pretty broad but i like that they bothered to make the fake norwegian lesbian tribal music

i thought it was pretty good norwegian lesbian tribal music tbh

yeah i liked it!

the music was the thing that sounded most like actual-NPR tbh

"nefertiti's fjord"

i lol'd

my reaction was "this could be tUnE-yArDs"

My NPR station doesn't even play music anymore, so.

maybe they have a writer who listens to The Current

Oh, I take that back, there's a local world-music show on Friday nights that actually does look like something Nefertiti's Fjord might be featured on. OK, maybe I just don't listen to enough NPR!

that totally sounds like the stuff they play on the musical segments of "the world"

it sound like typical NPR bumper music, tho usually they dont introduce the artist, the whole "african norwegian lesbians" thing aside

that totally sounds like the stuff they play on the musical segments of "the world"

OTM. The last five minutes of "The World" where they profile an international musical act. Usually pretty terrible.

All Things Considered usually does a music thing, some kinda twee mustache band or Iraqi rappers or w/e

All Things Considered was the first place I ever heard Spice Girls.

gotta get NPR2 for that now

this ep was so funny i forgot it was a 22-minute ad for the book tie-in

also pretty good use of chris, actually having him as part of the gang and not just a stationary character who pops up a few times an episode.

lol I'd forgotten that was going to be an actual buyable book.

I didn't even realize the book was an actual artifact until I read another review that cast the whole show in light of it.

I had to take my little sister to buy the book the day it came out. She's really enjoying it, but she's also an obsessed fangirl, so. I was surprised that we were able to find a copy at Target, since the show's ratings would suggest it's pretty aimed at a pretty small audience.

Like did the Community soundtrack ever make it into brick and mortar stores? Maybe it did, idk.

Books in general are aimed at a pretty small audience these days.

I've loved this show since early on in the second season but I've never posted in this thread before. I had to come see if everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. That was probably my favourite episode since the one when they all got wasted on Snake Juice. Everyone was used so well even Ann and Ben. Ron and April's relationship is one my favourite aspects of the show, the Lester scene was indeed a perfect little moment.

I'm completely in awe of Chris Pratt after reading that he improvised the "Network connectivity problems" line, that could be my favourite moment from the entire show.

gif of joan colomettzo biting a book now plz

"the tastemaker of pawnee"

the network connectivity line had huge IRL LOLs here

I liked the story AP told on WTF about Chris Pratt being a funny door-to-door salesman in Hawaii. He knocked on Tia Carrera's door, who told him he should go to Hollywood and act.

I thought he was discovered waiting on Rae Dawn Chong at Bubba Gump Shrimp.

chris pratt is married to anna faris btw

bet he's a dude

this season has been off so far

Whaaaaaaaaa?

Off ... to a great start!

Off... the HOOK

no seriously, I don't think much of this season so far--seems like there are different writers or something, I'm just not feeling it.

It seems the same to me. Still great.

are you sure you're not looking for the community thread?

sometimes I doubt your commitment, sparkle motion

We find your lack of faith disturbing...

maybe it's because I love this show too much

sbarkle motion imo

!!! Awesome.

Haaaaird.

Related a little too much to Ben's despondence at his sandwich card being expired before he could get a meatball sub (this happens to me too often, most recent was a Chik-Fil-A card) as well as Ron saying "Correct!" when the kids responded that they didn't have dietary constrictions (a week after a gluten-free no-lactose vegetarian birthday in Malibu, because of course that's where it was)

Don't know how I feel about Ben being revealed this season as an actual Comic-Con-type nerd, rather than just a slightly dorky accountant. I always thought Tom's usage of "nerd" in reference to Ben was funny in part b/c Ben wasn't actually *that* much of a nerd, but someone like Tom would think he was.

But crying Batman was <3

Also, I love when Donna gets more screen time than just a couple cutaways. She's so amazing.

I loved Leslie's ad for Swansons...and Andy going nuts over puppy party!
