"bowl so hard"

and lol at Ron's style of bowling..."no spin, no hook...otherwise this just becomes figure skating"

Im just now getting around to watching this VIA netflix.

Leslie is a less talented Michael Scott...you can tell they tried to play off that show a LOT.

none the less, its rather funny and I keep watching.

1/27/2012 1:25:12 PM

it started out in season 1 really trying to play off the office, but it's doing its own thing now and is amazing.

1/27/2012 1:36:57 PM

When you say just getting around to it, do you mean the first season?

Because the first season is rough, and relies far too much on trying to hit the US Office style.

They open up a lot in season two and really hit stride; it's much different.

1/27/2012 1:37:40 PM

Yeah im up to the KABOOM episode in season 2 now and it seems to be improving, still a bit in the style of the Office.

1/27/2012 1:40:11 PM

Well, it's a single camera sitcom with cutaways and asides that break the fourth wall.

By that token, the Office takes a lot from Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

1/27/2012 1:43:48 PM

Parker Lewis had constant narration, not cutaways.

If anything it was a Ferris Bueller rip off.

1/27/2012 2:16:37 PM

I just meant the fourth wall breaks.

Point being, to say that Parks & Rec is cribbing the Office beyond the first season is like saying the Office is cribbing Malcolm in the Middle.

1/27/2012 2:17:51 PM

The Office is cribbing Malcolm in the Middle.

1/27/2012 2:24:50 PM

1/27/2012 2:32:53 PM

^that had me laughing my ass off. perfect.

"my favorite restaurant in the world"...ron is the best

1/27/2012 7:11:49 PM

I'm pretty sure it was his favorite restaurant in Pawnee. I believe his favorite restaurant was the one that closed in Indy. No?

1/27/2012 8:15:58 PM

Mulligan's

1/27/2012 9:29:42 PM

"Son, people are watching you"

ahahaha that was a great Ron episode.

1/27/2012 10:26:54 PM

I didn't even notice the no bills over $10 accepted.

1/27/2012 10:46:01 PM

best Ron ep ever.

1/27/2012 11:11:12 PM

^^haha i didn't notice it either until i read your post. definitely enjoyed this episode

1/28/2012 3:19:31 PM

Season 3 now...its ALOT better.

Way funnier as you go along. Aziz is my favorite, Ron is a close 2nd.

1/31/2012 12:19:36 AM

The first few episodes, I watched and was like this Ron Swanson is lame. A few episodes later, it became very apparent Ron Swanson is the fucking man. I actually like his character as much or more than anyone on the office including Dwight.

1/31/2012 10:53:07 PM

"mradamscott Adam Scott For those of you fond of Party Down, there is a nice surprise on Parks and Rec tonight... "

awesome.

2/2/2012 2:22:49 PM

Saw Aziz Ansari last night do standup in Charleston. Hilarious...did not disappoint (I'm often disappointed by famous comedians stand-up). He's slowly becoming one of my favorite tv/movie celebrities.

2/2/2012 2:38:30 PM

He's working On a comedy central or HBO special.

2/2/2012 4:18:53 PM

He needs to work on that RAAAAAAAANDY movie.

2/2/2012 5:22:45 PM

so Ron Swanson loves scavenger hunts, interesting

2/10/2012 10:59:45 AM

2/24/2012 1:02:02 PM

I love this show very, very, very much

but this Ann/Tom thing is so forced/unrealistic that it pains me

2/24/2012 1:16:48 PM

^

2/24/2012 2:43:30 PM

what are you making with all of those eggs?

eggs.

2/24/2012 3:06:22 PM

^^^ it's so bad. so is this campaign, actually. and so are both andy and april since they've gotten together.

i realize i'm in the minority, but i'm very sincerely less than pleased w/ how this show has veered since season 2.

[Edited on February 27, 2012 at 1:35 PM. Reason : ron swanson isn't even funny lately, save ^]

2/27/2012 1:35:26 PM

^ I'm with you.

It hasn't been Office level bad or anything, just not as enjoyable as it was

2/27/2012 1:56:46 PM

Yeah, all the nbc comedies only have about 3 good seasons in them. At least it was somewhat staggered. I got into 30 Rock as the Office was nose diving, got into P&R when 30 Rock was nose diving. Up All Night isn't going to cut it, so now there's no show to fall into when this one becomes more and more of a strain.

2/27/2012 2:12:59 PM

up all night could be funny if christina applegate were funny... but doing a goofy dance once/episode isn't going to cut it.

^^ honestly i've enjoyed this season of the office more than this season of parks and rec.

[Edited on February 27, 2012 at 6:29 PM. Reason : i'd say last week's office ruined that, but the parks and rec was unwatchable bad.]

2/27/2012 6:27:17 PM

POISE - Sting like a bee. Do not float like a butterfly. That's ridiculous.

3/1/2012 10:51:36 AM

returns this week!

4/18/2012 11:39:28 AM

Lots of terrific stuff this episode including Bradley Whitford as the councilman, a Chelsea Peretti sighting, Andy pulling the ship out of the bottle, Perd being Perd and a great Ron Swanson quote:
"There's a hot, spinning cone of meat at that greek restaurant next door, I don't know what it is but I'd like to eat the whole thing"

4/20/2012 12:02:32 AM

<3 Chelsea Peretti

but I'm going to wager a guess that me and you are two of the maybe 4 people on here that know of her

so glad to have it back

4/20/2012 12:05:49 AM

Hahaha the bow on tom's ipad cracked me up.

4/20/2012 7:24:59 AM

she is opening for tom i mean Aziz in Asheville this weekend.

4/20/2012 6:04:49 PM

LOL @ walk & talk with Bradley Whitford.

4/20/2012 8:39:55 PM

Also, I'm glad this campaign arc finally has some burn. Every other part of it has been inconsequential: Leslie shoots herself in the foot somehow, Bobby Newport's campaign manager is genius, Bobby Newport is rich enough to buy the favor of every group in town, etc. For once, they've written a twist into the campaign that actually makes Leslie seem like a contender. I hope they can keep it up.

4/22/2012 1:52:31 AM

yeah, it was cool to see some teeth. glad to see that ron isn't a fucking pyramid posted above caricticture, too.

too little too late for this show... maybe. how many episodes are left?

What the fuck are you babbling about?

4/22/2012 3:08:29 AM

I have never had to take pills to make me happy. But if Parks N Rec got cancelled I just might.

4/22/2012 3:17:57 AM

haha winterfell was on andy's list of places to live.

5/10/2012 9:53:31 PM

Renewed for a fifth season, just 13 episodes right now but they left the door open for ordering additional episodes.

Also I love that the last line of dialogue this season was "dammit Jerry"

5/11/2012 3:21:08 PM

this show is still really freaking good. my favorite comedy currently.

5/11/2012 3:52:42 PM

Actually picked up for a full 22 order.

5/11/2012 6:33:01 PM

^YES!
