Man I just truly love this show. So many hilarious moments - Ben realizing his claymation video was just a few seconds long, Ann getting caught up with Pistol Pete and the glorious bit of slapstick comedy which was the whole group walking to the stage.

I always make sure I watch 30 Rock or Community before I watch Parks & Rec. While there might be times when those shows are much funnier than Parks, they don't ooze the warmth and sentimentality that Parks has in droves. Parks has got that feel good vibe which makes it a perfect show to end the night.

It was like something out of classic Simpsons. And it further gives credence to the idea that Parks is basically a live action Simpsons.

This was in my opinion easily an A episode. Not only did it have a ton of memorable moments (Emily being badass - by burning the house, crossing the guy's photo and being an excellent shot) but it also continues to give interesting shades to the characters.

I know it wore out it's welcome a few seasons ago but at it's peak Desperate Housewives was one of the best shows on television. The way it combined satire, dark humor and salacious storylines would put most soaps to shame. And the heart of the show was the 4 incredible lead actresses (5 if you include Nicolette

Man I still miss this show. In it's later seasons it got way over the top and extremely silly but at it's best it was an extremely funny and moving series that was quietly offbeat (it was one of the first major laugh track free shows on tv, JD was as far from a typical protagonist as possible, it's use of music and

This is one of the few South Park episodes I can barely stand to rewatch. It's weird also since I can generally stand toilet humor. This one though just disgusts me too much to watch it again.

Her physical comedy is so-so but her line deliveries are amazing. And she's a far better actress than Zooey.

But the problem is she is playing everything way over the top. Even in their broader moments, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler develop a manic comic energy which Zooey cannot manage.

While Jess isn't exactly a well written character, one thing I've realized is that Zooey Deschanel is quite terrible in her role. She has oodles of charm but very little in the way of actual comic chops.

That line had me in splits.

I think Annie, Abed and Troy work perfectly together. One reason might be that their characters just have so much comic potential (especially with Troy and Annie being able to go head to head with the crying) but it's also because I think Danny Pudi, Alison Brie and Donald Glover genuinely have good chemistry that it

Not the strongest of Community episodes (Todd you really over grade the episodes) but even the weaker episodes have so many things to love about them

That is a very interesting perspective to look at it from. It also furthers the idea of Abed as the sane one. All the others get caught up in the madness while Abed in his quite way manages to stay composed and remains uninvolved until the end when he knows he has to step in.

Nope. That'll be all Seabiscuit.

I wouldn't say Abed has been promoted since I think he's always had a key role in the series right from the pilot.

I think Troy and Britta would be a fun pairing I think. They're so different yet so similar in some ways.

The Dean represents Dan Harmon. Atleast that's what I got from this episode. And I think the whole process of making the ad was essentially like a meta commentary on how Harmon drives himself and others crazy every week trying to produce a perfect episode.

I got tears in my eyes. A perfectly acted and staged moment. That scene with Leslie and Ben kissing and the camera moving away was one of the most romantic Parks moments (and I'm not even a big shipper or anything).

Really? I thought it was an excellent episode and probably my favorite this season. Not only did it have a ton of funny moments (The Ron/April/Andy thing was a goldmine), it had an emotional quality that the best of Parks episodes have both with Tom trying to prove that he has more than a dead end job and Leslie
