Would be nice if the bring Carell back for the finale, even if its just a cameo.

I feel like P&R is the best show no one watches.

It seriously confuses me.

I've turned two to three people onto the show (mostly due to Ron), but previous to getting them to watch it, the first words out of their mouths was, "I've heard that show sucks".

They did, FINAILLY! Chiefspants is right, the episode last week was one of the best recent ones if not the best. Two more hour long episodes left and the series is done.

I thought season 2 was awesome. I thought the last two seasons were just ok.

It isn't surprising no one watches Parks and Recreation. People think the Hangover is the best comedy of all time. So those same people love Big Bang Theory and stick to set up punchline familiar sit-coms.

I just started watching it. It's gold

who says the hangover is the best comedy of all time?

People in fraternity hats.

I really hope so, the fans of the show deserve it.

your rock have a gas stove?

It's being reported that he'll return as a cameo in one of the next two episodes (he also surprised everyone by attending the goodbye parade for the office held in Scranton, PA.)

It's a near guarantee that it will be renewed at this point. NBC has no better alternative (Losing The Office, despite it's recent plunge in ratings, will still lose them their highest rated comedy), and it's long been known that Parks and Rec has long been a favorite of NBC's executives.

Honestly, in their prime, I'd put The Office, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock and Community up against any lineup that NBC had in the 90's, it's just a shame this belief was in the minority.

I'd definitely agree with that, especially because those 90s lineups always had at least one filler show that was less entertaining than static.

:spock:

Nobody likes Big Bang Theory.

I've maintained the same since Community came on line. Great shows from top to bottom.

PREACH IT! :clap:

My main problems with the Big Bang Theory are the main character, Leonard, is totally unlikable, and the laugh track is used way too much. It's way overrated. The Sheldon character will deliver some good lines here and there, but it's not really worth it.

Ironically, the only person I know who does is over 70. CBS' core demographic.

I liked it early on, but wallowitz's personal life is unbearable. Add in the laugh track, and I'm out.

I watch BBT, but it's an 'iron, fluff and fold' show. Penny is still attractive, Sheldon and Amy are amusing alone and together. A little Walowitz [and mom] goes a long way. Besides, how could I order my life as a wealthy neurotic without Lorre's placards at the end?

Good to go for season six: http://tvline.com/2013/05/09/parks-a...-for-season-6/

I didn't actually watch season 5. I have no idea why. It had been my favorite comedy on TV for a couple of years.

Ironically, in light of my awareness of this thread [and general sentiment throughout the hipsternet], I literally laughed out loud in my car on the way home over a BBT commercial.

Sheldon: I don't think I've ever played Dungeons and Dragons with a girl before.

Penny: Aww, don't worry honey, no one has.

Not even that funny, but really well delivered and timed itself to hit directly on my funny bone.

Self, I am disappoint.

This is great news, indeed.

I didnt finish 4 and I skipped 5.

I'll marathon it eventually.

Same w/ the last 2 seasons of Community.

Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe are leaving. I'm glad, I think the show got flat.

Speaking of flat, about 1/3 of Chris Pratt has left the show already.

http://media.avclub.com/images/434/4...9/627.jpg?9625

Both of those characters did seem to fizzle out. A few new cast members might liven things up.

That's scary how different he looks. Even weirder is he now looks exactly like a friend from college.

I'd liked Lowes character, and Jones character was never that great to start with other than getting the ball rolling in the pilot and introducing Andy- whose character was only supposed to be an extended cameo (like 5-8 episodes).

I love the show and hope Offerman, Pratt, Ansari, and Plaza stick around. If you have ever seen Party Down, Adam Scott is really being underused for as good as he can be.

OTOH, This makes a little more sense now.

They just need to make a spinoff Ron Swanson show.

everyone would watch.

Really psyched about the concept for the upcoming season.

Uh, that sounds awesome.

I was watching this episode last night on netflix, haven't laughed this hard in a while.

Evidently, Amy Pohler is rebounding from GOB Bluth by dating Nick 'Fabrice Fabrice' Kroll. Not sure what to make of that. Good guy, funny guy, born with douchebag permanently embedded in his eyes.

I like Nick Kroll on The League but that Fabrice Fabrice schtick of his is painfully unfunny. :rolleyes:

Just brutal.

Aziz is the same way. His standup is pretty funny until he goes to the RAAAAAANDY bullshit.

kroll is ok, but his variety show is/was crap. GOB>kroll.

Love Aziz, but that Randy shit isn't even remotely funny.

'Chris' ['Rob Lowe] dancing to One Head Light alone on the dance floor might have been the funniets thing I've seen in 2014.

For true heartache, ask me about the import of that song personally. Or figure it out for yourself.

ROFL

That felt like a series finale.

There is no sadness that cannot be cured by breakfast food.

Our newest Swansonism.

The real emotional depth is knowing that the box created for Chris is probably a a box created by Offerman exactly as described in his personal woodshop

I feel like my heart has been ripped out. Boob hats.

Great couple of episodes leading to the finale.

I actually paused the DVR to read all of it. Both episodes were strong.

Just as one of the daughters of a main character in a workplace drama. She shows up once or twice a season at parties.

She's on Marry Me every week as a main character, though.

Not THAT big a deal as there is exactly one episode of Parks and Recreation left.

It's actually part of a decent running joke on the show.

Gary is the office buffoon, the butt of all jokes. Then, in the 3rd season or so, they had a Christmas party with families invited. Turns out at home his wife is Christie Brinkley and he has 3 hot daughters who adore him [incl. Sarah].

It really is one of the better sitcoms of the past few years. Good cast, good premise, good writing.

The first season was finding it's sea legs, basically they were trying to recreate The Office in another setting. The retooled what worked and didn't thereafter and it took off like a rocket. It really shouldn't be ending now, but NBC has less capital than my neighbor.

I'd rather see it go now while it is still enjoyable than to have it slowly milked of everything that makes it what it is, a la How I Met Your Mother. Seasons 3 and 4 were the peak anyway, IMO.

Yeah, I'm fine with it. They appear to be sending it off well. Just didn't want to give the appearance that since it was ending it was failure.

By far the biggest disappointment for me this season. From the creator of Happy Endings that made a show for the generic audiences. Only 1 episode this season was great. She looks amazing tho.

That finale....I'm really going to miss this show.

Yeah, they have a talented cast and loser of a premise.

Doesn't help that that Ken's/Jake's best friend is a doppelganger for the sidekick on Mulaney, goofy chubby bearded loser

I enjoyed the finale. Very bittersweet, but I loved seeing where they'd be in the future.

Kind of pissed at Wittels that they had to deal with that during their big moment.

Actually kind of pissed at all the nice people he made so sad this past week.

I enjoyed the first couple of seasons


I kinda missed the Mark Brendanawicz character. Why did he leave?

Because you're the only one that misses him. He was nice, reasonable and uninteresting.
