Glad you found this stuff. It's the best on chicken. Need to make sure you have two batches, one to dunk the chicken in and another to keep "clean" to use for dipping and whatever else. Stuff is the truth.

This is that show and you need to watch it. He's exceptional in it.

I agree. While I appreciate his complexity and have enjoyed some of his non-Parks and Rec stuff, he's famous because he nailed a really well-written fleshed out character on a great show. He's a legit wood-working craftsman and seems to really love his wife, both of which I find very admirable. But his books (which I…

From Goggins slightly gay, kissass Boyd Crowder, to Kenny Powers - Vice Principal, I laughed out loud a lot. And loved the receptionist. But Shea Whigham stole the show. That he was decent to Neil at the stables while being insulted is one thing. To be half of the surprise party with his step-daughter for a guy who…

I'm with that. I always felt they were showing opposite ends of the spectrum. She and Aaron were HIGH achievers scholastically and he was on the other end.

"Say, the names of the Cabinet slipped my mind. Do you know them?"
"Yes, Aaron, I know them!"
"All 12?"
"Yes."
"There are only 10."
"You're feeling good, aren't you?"
"I'm starting to, yeah."

They do a pretty good job early on in the scene with his dad when he was a kid of portraying that he studied and worked really hard and couldn't make grades. You may be right, but it's not what the film told us about Tom.

Agreed. Tom is emotionally intelligent, hence his knowing he connects well with people. He also knows he has the upper hand in this room. She's clearly coming onto him the whole time he's there, and as someone who has experience with women, he's aware and gives him the balls to be vulnerable. He went there to get a…

"Just how noticeable is this, huh?"

Can we just listen to Kevin Smith talk about making it rather than him actually making it? He talks about movies the way Sorkin writes about the American political/newsmaking system, which is to say I'm inspired listening to him, but the execution doesn't really…work. Not as well, I mean.
It's not entirely fair, I…

I don't get it. I don't get why she's on the show, I don't get why people think those 5 minute long bits she does during WU are funny at all, I don't understand how this reviewer consistently stumps for her, not to mention why she gets more and more screen time. And this was by far her best sketch outing, I assume due…

This was a good review and I liked very much the experience of reading it. Please write more reviews on other shows I like. Thank you. —PW

Both of these. I'm hooping Alan Ball will reward my foolhardiness by turning the crazy up to 11. And boobs. LOTS of boobs.

Uh, that's "mutually consentual", @avclub-e65076d21d4b718526e684473c359d55:disqus You know, in case you missed the meaning of one of those words.

They're not going to completely get rid of Jim/Maggie/Don/Sloan/Lisa love pentagon, but they have been significantly more news-y on their little news show. I'm enjoying this season so far, no doubt bolstered by my lower-than-the-floor expectations.
I thought the Will 9/11 night broadcast stuff was great. And the…

I disagree. The fish-out-of-water is the draw/point of the show, and through 4 episodes (I've not seen any eps past the first first 4) her point of view is one I can relate to and get inside. And I find it somewhat believable, which is more than I can say for the other stories we've seen. I realize we're seeing…

I'm hurtin', Linda.

I liked SUPERMAN RETURNS, too. It's the first Superman film I showed my son. 

Good on you for admitting your bias, erection. Helps me trust your criticism all the more. I don't need you to agree with me, just to agree that you come to your opinions from a place that's distinctly you. I appreciate the honesty.

Perfect ending to the season. First off, thanks Erik for reviewing, and the rest of you for discussing. I love this show, and it's good to talk about it with other folks who do, too.
