I wouldn't say Schneider improved Parks and Rec by leaving because to this date, season 2 is the best season of the show.

I feel like they missed an opportunity of humanizing Fred and Sheila here. The whole episode could have built up to their decision to adopt Victor because of how much they missed Ryan. The way we saw it, it was all so sudden and made the scene where they say that they love Victor not earned.

Yeah, that moment counts too. I like an episode of season 3 (I think it's the tornado episode?) where Travis is heartbroken and has to hide it from Laurie because he has to be her friend and support her relationship with Wade.

That's hilarious. This reminds me that when I was a kid, I honestly used to think that As Told by Ginger was a drama (not an hour-long drama, but a drama), and since that show and Suburgatory share the same DNA, I can see your point, kinda.

I watch both Cougar Town and Parks and Recreation, and those shows are more cute and heartwarming than exactly dramatic and that's a big difference. I don't think there is a single scene in the entirety of Parks and Rec that comes remotely close to carrying the emotional punch that the scene where Tessa cries because

Enlisted has already crashed and burnt. The ratings were catastrophically bad, we'll be lucky if FOX airs all of the episodes of that show. I'm confident Suburgatory will try to up him as a regular so they don't lose him again to another show.

I wish this show was a dramedy instead of a comedy. The dramatic moments are so, so good that I basically watched season 2 just for them (the finales are always devastating and The Wishbone is my favorite episode of the series). This is probably the only sitcom currently on air that manages to go dramatic so well, and

Young is in some episodes this season, and I'm pretty confident he'll become a regular in season 4.

Yep. The show's been pretty wonderful so far.

I don't get Showtime. I mean, HBO and FX have a shitload of new shows to premiere this year, but Showtime is in such creative dire straits that they keep this show and Nurse Jackie alive just to have something to fill their Sunday block? I mean, that's the only explanation for this. Both show's ratings are atrocious,

Yeah, people keep telling me to watch it, but I tried the pilot back when it premiered and didn't like it at all. Will give it another shot when I finish Raymond, though.

I'm currently watching Everybody Loves Raymond (have just finished season 7 - is it me or is this the rare show that gets better and better with each season?) and seeing Ray Romano delivering what he did here was even more satisfying. There are some very small moments on ELR where you can see what a great dramatic

I was actually shocked that it didn't end with a threesome, to be honest. I was sure the fuck buddy would propose something like that.

He said so himself that he wasn't going because he wasn't invited. That was actually a big point in one of the earlier episodes.

You guys nailed this. At this point, Downton is just a wasted opportunity.

And they still haven't said a word about The Newsroom or Hello Ladies either. HBO is starting to piss me off with that, to be honest.

I stopped watching before thanksgiving break. I liked it just fine, but not good enough to keep it going. I'll watch the rest, though. It's only 10 episodes anyway.

There's probably not gonna be an X Factor review, so I'll just comment it here: I hope to God Alex & Sierra win. I haven't been this invested in singing competition contestants ever since… forever, I think. I never watched an entire season of any singing competition before, but these two made me come back every week

The show wasn't aired out of order. The Waldo Moment is indeed the final episode of the series (so far).
