April's in this movie 'Safety not guaranteed' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amJQ19b1FkI

The Broadway thing reminds me, were there ever any more details revealed about Mullally's dustup with Patton Oswalt?

a. President Obama namechecks Aziz during a fundraiser thing, and then admits Malia loves Parks & Recreation
b. President Obama THEN busts his balls by saying he has more twitter followers.
c. I'm guessing Aziz shits his pants.

Cue six weeks of Bill O'Reilly attacking Aziz.

Cue Aziz's next stand-up special being 80% about the time Obama mentioned him.

yup

i'd still watch it

Ha well obv I would too if I sat through his first one, "Aziz Ansari KANYE TWITTER"

I would watch him do FUNNY VOICE FUNNY VOICE FUNNY VOICE FUNNY VOICE FUNNY VOICE

haha today i listened to montell jordan's "this is how we do it" and kept heaaring aziz ansari's voice :/

omg wtf is gonna be awesome this week

http://new.livestream.com/paleycenter/ParksandRecreation - Parks and Rec's Paleyfest panel, starting in a little bit. Unlike Community, most of the cast doesn't seem to be there, but it's got Amy Poehler, Chris Pratt, Retta, Jim O'Heir, Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, so it should still have some decent stuff in there.

That episode was PERFECT. For every character.

Yes, Ron's emphatic "YES" re: going home with Andy's professor was great.

lol @ third steak

loved rob lowe's enthusiasm for ron's shirt

sad to see this go for 6 weeks.

Hi it's back and charming as ever

I loved the pig.

Loved "Josh" and the West Wing intro gag.

This week's episode apparently already aired in Canada?

Tomorrow's or last weeks? We had a new episode last Thursday..

This week's! The debate with Paul Rudd episode. Another Canadian friend said it aired by surprise on City TV last night.

Oh! I missed that. Pity, I was bored last night.

if you trawl the seedy underbelly of the Internet, the episode is floating around. my sisters insisted we watch it immediately so they wouldn't risk being spoiled by tint-shifted anigifs on tumblr.

holy fuck that was gooooooooooooooood tv

if you're talking about the new episode (scheduled to air tomorrow night), SHUT UP.

Can you really get spoiled about a P&R episode, tho? Someone would kinda have to type out dozens of jokes.

have you seen ILX sitcom threads before?

is saying a new p&r episode is good spoiling it?

its not exactly like i say **** does this and ****** does that etc.

I think Gukbe was laying down a preemptive NO SPOILERS decree. You're in the clear with saying it was good.

Yeah, no issues with an evaluation.

yeah, very good episode, i will just say that what this show does well it does very well here, and that what it has had some trouble doing it has some trouble doing again in this episode but luckily that part is not nearly as much the focus as what it does well. also: tour de force chris pratt performance.

the early snippets of him felt like disconnected Pratt adlibs that had made the crew laugh so they got spliced in, despite not really supporting the scene. but his ...extended performances later in the ep were certainly worthy of their audience's reaction.

those were SO good

rudd killed it but god the whole aziz/rashida thing is so garbage

yeah, i can't imagine anyone out there watching is really rooting for those two to make it happen, feels like something a show would do in it's ninth season when they just start pairing ppl up to see what happens. when this show makes fun of politics, or govt, or esp the media or ESP the citizenry let's say it's really fantastic. the workplace humor stuff is also strong. but the aziz/rashida stuff makes the ed helms/ellie kemper stuff on the office look like sam malone and diane chambers.

yeah, they're not even trying that hard with it. it sadly reeks of "well, we have no storylines for these two, so..." but i'd rather see them in a crappy storyline than not at all, i suppose

I like the Ann/Tom pesudo-pairing for how deliciously wrong it is.

The Parks & Rec writers know how stupid the Ann/Tom relationship is, judging by their comments at the most recent PaleyFest (yes I am a nerd). They seem to mainly want to mine good character moments before the whole thing is over (OMG TOM HAS THE BEST GIRLFRIEND APT!)

tour de force chris pratt performance

Andy would prob say tour de France. Chris Pratt has been MVP of this season.

Sepinwall says (I'm told that about 50% of the "Roadhouse" bit was improvised, and 100% of the other movies were.)
