C'mon, how are you not going to mention that Mister Mister was the prom band in this movie?  Or that it was shown approximately 8 times a day on Comedy Central in the early 90s?

I agree completely, I think S4 was completely brilliant.  Netflix gave them the freedom to be as challenging and complex and weird as they wanted.

The first 3 seasons were entertaining enough, but like many Showtime series it was stretched out way too long and was absolutely abysmal by the end.  There's only so many times they can pull the "how's Nancy going to fuck her way out of this problem?" trick.  It also doesn't help that Breaking Bad took a similar

I'm at episode 8 right now and that's exactly how I feel.  I was a little iffy until we started getting all of these interlocking pieces working together.  Now I'm thinking this is completely brilliant and it's just going to take some time to completely wrap my head around it.

This one.  That episode was hacky as shit.  It ended with them recreating a viral video for chrissakes.

Niagra? Seriously?  A shark-jumping episode if there ever was one.

It's criminal that this list doesn't include "He Made a Woman outta Me" by Betty LaVette.  It certainly kicks the ass of anything Meatloaf has ever recorded.

The Amadillo beat-down is IMO one of both the awesomest and most revolting scenes of the series.  Just the sheer perversity of massively violating a suspect's constitutional rights by beating him with a criminal procedure textbook is a thing to behold.  On paper it sounds way too on-the-nose to work, but it works like

Only the Shield could make you feel like punching a prostitute in the face in order to cover up a murder is sort of the right thing to do.  It's a great example of the warped moral universe of this show that just sucks you in.

Exactly, I thought the "Time after Time" sequence worked so well in the last episode because it was one of those times where April cracks her facade in the interest of making someone feel better.  It was funny by itself, but it also had this underlying sentiment that this show does so well.

She's going to give the governor like four more chances and if he doesn't shape up she's DEFINITELY going to consider breaking up with him, possibly.

You can see why he would want to stay in Woodbury.  Unlike Rick's group they're allowed TWO black guys.

It was all part of Abu Nazir's brilliant 38 point plan from the beginning man, DON'T YOU SEE??

I think you're right on in pointing out that there has been FAR more character development on Parks & Recreation than just about any other network sitcom I can think of.  April is a very good example of this, as I think her character has evolved in a very gradual and organic way, to the point where she is now much

I actually thought the (alleged) pederast subplot worked thematically with the show.  This show has frequently explored the ideas of trust, and how people react to perceived threats.  The scene with the creepy guy was purposefully ambiguous—he never overtly threatens the kids, and even when he yells at them you could

Justified is definitely what I'm remembering him from.

There has been one or two non-passionate quick pecks on the show, but that's it.  They are the most asexual gay dudes I've ever seen.

Sure, I'm not saying he doesn't have a right to give his opinion.  I'm just saying that he doesn't have a right to compare it to earlier episodes of the show when he hasn't actually watched those earlier episodes.

But who would ever really want to go and top that?

Do you know who the actors were who played the old folks?  The guy with the tracheotomy I have definitely seen elsewhere…
