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

I liked how he alluded to the fact she and her mother looked just alike.

Probably underlining the hints last season that it's okay to pick on Jerry because he has the best home life of anyone. Nice touch imo. The rest of the episode, meh.

Whose babbys would be funnier: Anna Faris/Chris Pratt or Arnett/Poehler?

i love that girl who's jerry's daughter
shes great as a mean girl role in the house bunny

Adam Scott makes me so angry at life.

i miss paul schneider's 'i was going get arby's and watch frontline' schtick

I just miss him :((((

you are such a weirdo

Adam scott hurts mah eyes!!!!

Maybe it was just the way the costume fits, but Adam Scott sure makes a frumpy Batman and he has chipmunk cheeks.

His stupid upside down triangle head doesn't fit in batman suit.

schneider was doing a cool postmodern take on a superfluous sitcom character, while scott is just doing a really lame superfluous sitcom character.

It's amazing to me that this feels like the fizziest, zippiest show on tv but it also feels like the most emotionally rich one (now that FNL is gone).

I agree with this.

Jerry's Jitterbug was pretty nice.

that was like their best episode, ever.

i'm not so sure, but i laughed pretty damn hard at April turning Jerry's Potatohead smile upside down.

i thought it really sucked tbh

too much going on, too much community-esque unreality.

otm

they've been tossing adam scott around like a rag doll these last couple episodes

this week (and to a lesser extent last week) have been the first time i've been like wow this show is actually funny, i'm laughing and everything, so they must be doing something wrong

My wife and I started watching this last week (I had seen the first two eps way back when and wasn't impressed, but had caught enough second season eps to know it gets better). It's hilarious. It's sort of one note in the way it juggles characters and punchlines (like the Office), but we love it. It's like a live-action Simpsons. Amy is even yellow.

Tom and Ann fixing things at a Halloween party could've been written by a fan fic writer.

I felt an extreme 'Jackie from Roseanne' vibe coming off of Ann last night!

i'm not so sure, but i laughed pretty damn hard at April turning Jerry's Potatohead smile upside down.

Yes, this was so great. Absolutely loved this episode. I don't get the complaints of this episode being too "unreal", I mean the show has been pretty "unreal" since at least season 2.

It felt a little off to me, like the jokes were too underlined or something. And busy, but not in the usual way where it's fun. I definitely think the best stuff was with Andy and Ben, and Jerry being aghast and his costume providing the visual highlight of the night.

Maybe it was residual disillusionment from Community and/or the amazing trainwreck that was the concurrent World Series game.

once again I am startled by Leslie not only sharing my birthday, but being two years younger than me

Did think it was a bit of missed opportunity to see Tom and John Ralphio in costumes.

re: upthread comment - this is like 'fanfic the sitcom' - i dunno where suddenly this became the episode to comment on it as a bad thing

i enjoyed this. wish it was just the party though tbh.

almost screamed when leslie forgave tom so quickly. i'm like everyone else and i love that this is a show where everyone loves each other, but i was so anticipating a story where a principal actually gets angry at another in a situation with real stakes. these things happen to friends in real life!

halloween stuff was great tho

Her getting into a hot tub with guy that just brought dancers into a business conference made me think made me think pawnee paparazzi was going to come around the corner.

The whole episode was about killing off 7e20. Obviously they came back from the writers' break with no idea what to do with it. That's fine, taking risks like that is awesome to see, but in this case it just didn't pay off.

Also, yeah, Leslie forgiving Tom allows Tom to go back to the parks dept, but that scene just came across as a cop-out.

didn't seem like making entertainment 720 a success was ever part of the plan, then they'd have a workplace-focused comedy with multiple workplaces

I never thought it would be a long-term success either, but I wonder if they truncated it because the guy that plays Jean Ralphio got cast in a mid-season replacement.

Yeah there's that too.

Obviously 720 was never long-term, but it really didn't have anywhere to go even in the short term.

Basically the point of Entertainment 720 was to give Tom a chance to chase his dream and then to see what happens when he fails at it. It's a wacky subplot on the show, but it also provides character development. I'll be disappointed if they have Tom just go back to the parks department as if nothing happened.

Leslie's turnaround from anger to support seemed designed to hint that Tom won't be going back to the Parks Dept

I'll be disappointed if they have Tom just go back to the parks department as if nothing happened.

Pretty sure you're going to be disappointed, because I don't see what else they'll do at this point.

Oh, I don't doubt that he'll return to the parks department. But I'd like to think that he'll be changed somehow.

I thought it was setting it up for her to hire him a campaign manager.

well, poehler's character is 4 years younger than poehler for some reason

Maybe so that Leslie and Ben can be the same age?

(I don't know remember if his age or birth date has been stated explicitly, but he was an 18-year-old mayor in 1993, IIRC.)
