Some people make the same complaint about Ben and Leslie in P&R. Poehler and Scott are only a year apart in age in real life, but Poehler looks about 40, and Scott could pass for 30.

They sound like they have a ton of "family comedy" pilots - Friday Night Dinner, The New Normal, 1600 Penn - so if one or two of those get picked up, they could pair UAN with them. Probably on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, though.

There's some evidence that, yes, NBC does get hurt by its young skew. If you look at all the network's 18-34 ratings, NBC is only quite narrowly behind the other networks. And the viewers NBC does attract tend to be the type who are probably watching online or DVR'ing things.

His alter ego, Crède.

I'm in my mid-20s and used to love watching I Love Lucy on Nick at Nite. What I thought was great about it was that - corny as it sounds - it really was something the entire family could enjoy. My elderly, Indian grandparents were living with us at the time, and they got a kick out of the show - as did my parents, and…

It's funny, because of the big '90s NBC hits, Seinfeld and Friends are constantly running in syndication or get watched by the college set… but Frasier seems completely absent.

Yeah, I really don't feel that was that long ago. I don't even think I'm that old (25), and I remember watching I Love Lucy on Nick at Nite, back in '98/'99/'00. 
But I guess for a lot of people here they were still in grade school or :gulp: kindergarten, not junior high.

"Variety described us as 'a comedy show.'"

It'll finish out the season.

So… never mind.

Plus, was there a hint of sexual desire on his part? Wasn't there a line about his fantasy being a pair of twins or something?

There's actually some evidence Parks is a bit of a tentpole. The week they had a one-hour 30 Rock instead of Parks, ratings for The Office fell.

I think it stayed pretty enjoyable through Season 6, and while S7 was pretty shaky, the episodes leading up to Michael's exit were great. The show didn't totally tank until this year, as it's now a show about absolutely nothing.

The main issue is it's STILL NBC's highest-rated scripted show. By far.

Pam becomes a robot…

They could have paired it with Up All Night and not put Community on hiatus.

Yeah, but P&R got a lot of promotion and a decent timeslot. It got poor reviews its first season, but decent ratings. (I think its first season ratings are still the highest the show has ever drawn.)

They might be thinking that with MF in repeats, people will channel surf over to this for the next three weeks.

Maybe she's supposed to be around Scott's character's age? They did say *step*-mother.

I remember seeing Kingdom of Heaven in the theater and thinking it was okay. I've heard the Director's Cut though is excellent and a far better film, though.
