Oh man, you said it so much better than I could ever possibly have.

The whole speech about work colleagues being your family made me go all the way back to The Mary Tyler Moore Show finale. So beautiful.

Oh, they definitely do have interesting ideas. I just don't feel that's a style that matches Cronenberg's abilities. He's a genius in conceptualizing weird, creepy and unique visual looks for his movies. But in staging weird, creepy and unique dialogue? I really don't think that's his strong suit at all, even though I…

Yeah. And the thing is, I don't even think it's because of either Rashida Jones or Adam Scott's work or because Ann was a bad character. Ben was just in a much, much, much better position than she was, having a job that made him perfect as the straight man as well as not having any awkward dating history with every…

Hell, they even retooled Jamm and managed to save the character from all those one-note appearances in season 6 with just one fucking episode. That's really impressive.

It doesn't surprise me that Parks was able to learn from its mistakes. The show always knew what it did right or wrong. The most glaring example is how the show came back in season 5 and IMMEDIATELY made clear that Tom and Ann weren't a couple anymore, by far their worst storyline up until that point

I kinda disagree, actually. I thought Ann had her space until the third season, then she lost it to Ben and never seemed to fit in the show again. Similarly, Chris went from being the show's funniest character in season 3 to being… nothing, for the next two and a half seasons.

I didn't particularly like this movie, but this interview is pretty great. He truly thinks things through, even if sometimes it doesn't immediately comes out on screen.

Or the Leslie campaign. I only really came to love season 4 when I binge-watched it.

Yeah, season 2 is my favorite of Parks, and that last third is really something. Not sure why you didn't include The Master Plan and Freddy Spaghetti in there, they're also outstanding episodes.

And don't forget 30 Rock season 5, its comeback season.

I would throw in there Coupling season 2.

"My sister is lame, but Andy's sort of cool. Guess I kinda see why he'd marry her. Also, if anyone finds my grey hoodie I lost it, thanks."

Ann and Chris is the most beautiful Parks and Rec episode, to me. I like it a lot more than Leslie and Ben, to be honest.

On top of that, I think The Debate has my loudest laugh in Parks' history: Donna crying after Andy finishes retelling the story of "Babe" ("You should all see it" "I feel like I just did" - that just kill me).

I think The Debate is my favorite Parks episode. And Telethon has been really underestimated, it's incredibly funny. And, obviously, The Fight.

I want to give celebrities the benefit of the doubt too. And I also don't think they're all dicks. I just think they would hate having to deal with fans when that's their leisure time. Well, supposedly it's their leisure time, though obviously it has to do with their professional side as well.

I can see why the expert said s/he would repeat the experience. It's like doing a safari. You are allowed to see the celebrities in their natural habitat and see how they truly behave and interact with one another. I would be curious to see how they really are when there are no cameras nearby. Are they egotistical…

I think you're being way too kind. Sure, that's part of the reason, but I get the feeling that celebrities most likely wouldn't like having to deal with the commoner folks in "their" night.

No, Two and a Half Men is more often than not about men and sex. 95% of the punchlines are about sex. And I never disputed the fact that the kid wasn't important nor that Odd Couple is the only inspiration. I'm talking about Odd Couple being merely Two and a Half Men without the kid. The kid is a tweak to the formula,…
