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

Lol that pic will never not be classic

I'll admit that my angle on all of this is my increasing sympathy towards creative professionals who work hard to make something of quality and decreasing tolerance towards people on the internet who gripe about how good stuff could've ben better. I'm no innocent in that regard, but I'm starting to recognize how obnoxious an impulse it is.

OH GOD ... ITS ... REPRODUCING

ok i don't wtf i was on about last week, this was great. adam scott was fantastic.

loved the fonts.ts.

Loved the return of the remote control doors

Amazing parody of both bro-speak and desperate-poser-dad simultaneously!

that sequence made me cringe so hard

It was so awkward, Adam Scott was great.

she was not scary at all in that scene. she was... something else.

Hot?

kind of?

This was terrific. I can't believe people ever thought Ben was just a replacement Brendanawicz straight man. I still want Ben and April to come home but their office setup is pretty funny.

Also every time they do a public forum it is hilarious.

Looking back I think the problems with last week's are kinda typical for that kind of episode rather than a drop-off in quality of the show. Trying to recap, reintroduce characters and hook in new viewers at once. You can see why they do it but it's kind of difficult to make it funny and not really broad-brush.

This episode was super good! Every time Chris has an existential crisis, it's HILARIOUS.
I've said it before, but Leslie is my hero and role model.

I can't believe people ever thought Ben was just a replacement Brendanawicz straight man.

did they? i was like 'alright, adam scott is here, show is instantly better'

haha i think my response was 'o no so party down is definitely over'

well that too but i think the writing was on the wall at that point

the dixiecrat poster

Oh shit, I just realized that was Lucy Lawless who's playing Ron's new female interest. I approve of this.

Not doing much for me lately.

even the perm?

"yay democracy, oh no my perm" had me in stitches

Heeeyyyyy, yeah, I wanna shoop, baby

I unabashedly love this show.

what was up with joan callamezzo's hair?

Benji's Cool Times Summer Jamz Mix now available in its entirety

Santeria? I'm judging him.

laffed every time i saw leslie's perm. also liked ron's 'shut up'. think my fave moment was when leslie's waves at jerry across the way and he waves back, dropping all his files.

Chris' admonishment to Jerry for sharing too much (even Chris hates Jerry). Also Donna reading Fifty Shades while Jerry was fielding 911 calls.

Of course Chris hates Jerry: his beautiful spawn broke his happy healthy heart!

Jon glaser!

ok Im fully on board with this new season now; that was p great

No one actually hates Gerry, they're just casually and unthinkingly mean to him. Except Kyle. I love that even Gerry is casually and unthinkingly mean to Kyle.

Pretty sure Lucy Lawless is about as close to Ron's ideal woman as it's possible to get so I hope she sticks around for a while.

I sometimes feel like the treatment and depiction of Jerry is overly-cruel and kinda out of sync with the show's general good nature...and then I remember that there's been at least one Jerry everywhere I've ever worked, even places where everyone basically loved one another.

Yeah but when something actually bad happens to Jerry the characters rally round. He's kinda the most grounded and emotionally secure character on the show (except maybe Andy now).

Today's Teefury "Shirt of The Day":

i hate non-sanctioned fan art of this stripe

The Knope and Swanson mentions are overkill. Otherwise, I'd wear that on a tshirt.

omg I was not prepared for the perm

i don't mean to brag but... i've got irritable bowel syndrome

The guy is no Sewage Joe but I hope he comes back.

Has anyone done a Parks & Rec tertiary characters poll, incidentally? I think its array of minor characters is probably better than Community's at this stage.

James Poniewozik @poniewozik
No PARKS & REC tonight. But w 1 exercise obsessive & 1 guy who can't stop saying "literally," it'll be like Chris Traeger debating himself

hahah

g1

They cast Jerry's wife, I read...

Christie Brinkley I think

Voila: Park and Recreation Tertiary Characters: Who's Ya Favorite?
