Cam and Mitch (who used to be somewhat progressive just for the fact of how stunningly ordinary they are) have slowly become whatever is the gay equivalent of blackface. Pinkface? Oh, look how hilarious these flouncing, shallow, self-centered, limp-wristed Marys are!

I still use mine quite a bit. I have a first-gen iPad that I keep in the bedroom for Netflix, etc. in bed (it really can't do much else at this point), and another smaller tablet I leave in the living room that I use to do almost everything else: read, browse, write, play games, and so on.

What has happened to Cam as a character? In earlier seasons he was fun and lovable, and now he's just shrill and acts like he has brain damage.

It cost $3, is not very functional, and is not available on the iPad. So why are you recommending this?

My company luckily communicates mostly via email, so something that works for me in these situations is to immediately write out that "first" reaction—get out all the "nuh uh, so do you, it's your fault" defensive reactions—but not send it, then step away for a short time if I'm able. I then come back and look at…

I kind of love that Parks & Rec has now had three surprise weddings.

I was pretty severely icked out by the "we forgot to factor in the Asian" line, as well as the pedophilia bit between Jay and Manny at the courthouse.

The article isn't framed or even titled that way, though, is it? It's presented as "how I cut my spending in half"—not "how I dial back a few luxuries to take a lower-paying job to gain more happiness"—and it comes across as an out-of-touch, shallow, entitled bit of clueless advice. Advice that reads as "use your…

Have you tried just making more money? Because that is about as useful as the advice offered here.

This whole season and all the contestants just seemed sort of blah. I like the Roller Moms and the Hockey Brothers just fine, but I wasn't really strongly rooting for either team. Katie and Max were genuine turds, but I didn't really hate them; I just was sort of hoping that they didn't win, but if they had? Whatever.

I think Bates and Anthony, like the the audience, just assumed they were going to win. And then they did. The end.

I feel the same way. This show is full of brilliant little bits and lines. Mindy's line here. The Danny line above about the Beijing Olympics' drums. The bit with Morgan and the dog. That's what keeps me coming back to the show, but it doesn't always hang together so well. It's like we're watching all these hilarious…

One thing I love about Parks & Rec is the balls-out weirdness of the other government departments in Pawnee (Sewage is skeezy but gets all the hot interns. Animal Control is a bunch of burned-out morons. The library is a bunch of evil, punk-ass book jockeys. The BMV is scary as $%^&), but we don't get to see that as…

Man. The reviews on this site are so wildly uneven. Some reviewers assigned to shows love them and will give them really high grades even if an episode is not great or is downright bad (Community, for example). And some will give low or middling grades to episodes that maybe aren't stellar but are still solid. I feel…
