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

Brandanowitz is also Teh Gos's brother in law in Lars And The Real Girl.

This series is not doing it for me at all. I dunno, maybe I'm over it.

Just realized that P&R and Community both doing a Model UN episode is sort of o_0

bright star is great and so so slept on

actually, literally slept on, as i had a dream about it the other night

Adam Scott was on the WTF podcast yesterday. Seems to be the same in real life as he is on the show (or Party Down, for that matter).

he started out as a different character on NTSF:SD:SUV but had turned back into himself by the end of the episode

not too safe for standard definition sports utility vehicles?

Does Adam Scott sound a lot like Scott Aukerman (from Comedy Death Ray) to anyone else?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSF:SD:SUV::

it's a live-action Adult Swim show that wavers between "whatever" and "omg"

("omg" quotient increases dramatically whenever Rob Riggle is onscreen)

Adam Scott sounds just like you would expect an upside down triangle to sound.

bright star is great and so so slept on

Agreed. I love this movie to an almost irrational degree.

i was so appalled that, the year it came out, it got only one oscar nom, and it was for costumes - same year blind side got best picture nom

I think the costumes (though great) may have distracted voters from the substance of the story. Otoh I am rarely surprised at the poor decision making of Oscar voters.

I FAILED JOHN KEATS

Schneider is so great in Bright Star. More period romances need hecklers.

Schneider is great in everything, which is why his non-presence on this show was so surprising.

I feel like this show has gotten less funny but somehow I don't care when Chris Pratt is a burgeoning Women's Studies scholar (total pandering to me, and I lap it up) and Amy Poehler and Adam Scott get all emo

The closing seconds of this one, w/ Pratt in class, were the highlight IMO.

This series is not doing it for me at all. I dunno, maybe I'm over it.

I'm with you, something's missing this year.

I liked Ron's first day of college line

On the other hand, WOMEN'S LASERS!!

this one seemed a little like they were coasting... leaning on pretty straight riffs of each character's quirks.

it wasn't the best episode but i'm glad they went ahead and revived the ben/leslie relationship instead of leaving them hanging all season, should make things more interesting going forward. also i liked the racist lady in the town hall meeting, and ron telling the guitar teacher she should be a brunette.

For what it’s worth, you’d make an incredible brunette.

the best parts about the racist lady were the expressions on the faces of the black couple sitting a few chairs over from her

wasn't crazy about the tom/jerry plot (tom is my least fave character at this point and i'm an aziz ansari defender) but i liked tom's disgust at turning into jerry, going home to a loving wife and three beautiful daughters, eating a home-cooked meal.

Wld like to know about Jerry's other two daughters tbrr

lol been watching this show for ages and only just noticed they have a tom & jerry from yr post.

I am a sappy dork and I enjoyed this episode quite a bit.

Yeah, I think n/a OTM. It certainly wasn't as funny as the last couple of episodes, but there was a nice emotional pay-off.

This week's was better but, yeah, the secret sauce is missing. It was a good episode with good gags, but the pace is slower? Not as sharp? Can't quite put my finger on it.

i think the shoe has crossed my cutesy threshold. i'm starting to get scrubs vibes, maybe idk.

^^^

say it ain't so :(

sadface

i'm cool with it.

I want red carpet insoles

Lovin Ben's Letters to Cleo tshirt.

I just came here to post that!

pretty great ep - good callback to ben's inexplicable preference of calzones over pizza, and loved the slow uncomfortable attempt to get lesley on the stage at the ice rink with the music stopping and starting

Yeah, I lost my shit every single time the song started over during the scene. Also, I used to own that exact same Letters to Cleo shirt.

we kept singing "GET ON YOUR FEET!" at each other at random intervals after that

lo-cal calzone zone

Ben's movie was also amazing

"requiem for a tuesday"

lo-cal calzone zone

The best was the little "wait for it" pause he did before the last word.

Loved the moment they get to the stage & Leslie is flailing around on her stomach trying to stand

was watching this at the gym and i had to restrain from laughing uncontrollably at the slow walk to the stage. it started when they reached the end of the red carpet.
