Parks & Recreation

that's my birthday! yay! :)

aww,why did they keep Community at 8? they should have moved it to 8:30. Or even 10:30 after 30 Rock. What's Perfect Couples? I already feel it ruining my Thursday night line up.

Thank god, I've been aching for some Leslie, Tom and Ron.

Consider this a legacy of The Jay Leno Show. NBC really did not prep well for the 10 o'clock about a year removed from staking Leno as a 5 days a week programming that ultimately went bust. Bill Carter actually thinks it is pretty possible that NBC will turn into Fox and go straight to news at 10 since the ratings have not been there (and many affiliates are not happy that they are really slacking in their 10 o'clock lead-ins). The outlook gets grimmer once Carrell leaves The Office.

The were strong rumors that Poehler's pregnancy for the hiatus was a red herring and there were enough episodes shot before she had her kid to be shown on its original Thursday timeslot. But apparently NBC really liked Outsourced enough to reshuffle the timeslot having The Office be its lead-in and 30 Rock have a crappy lead-in (and I say this as a fan of Community).

Honestly Community's humor would be best aided and abetted at the 10 o'clock hour than 30 Rock, which you would think from its critical track record would not be shuffled around like this, but that's the state of NBC programming. At least the jokes write for themselves.

But back to Parks & Rec, Leslie, Ron, April, Tom, and Andy cannot return soon enough. Plus Adam Scott is becoming a regular character!

Very happy for this news. I love Parks and Recreation!

The show was great last night. I'm really happy it has returned to television.

"... and from gladiators into Swansons!!!!!!"

When my mom predicted that Leslie and Ben would be a couple in the season premiere and I doubted it would happen, but she was right.

uh Parks & Rec isn't canceled... do you mean you were upset when they pushed the premiere to a couple weeks ago as opposed to premiering in the Fall of 2010??

^ That was my favorite part!!

Tammy is by far the craziest female character I've ever seen on a sitcom.

Megan Mullally needs to get a Guest Actress Emmy nod. Same for Nick Offerman whose snub last year remains a huge mystery to me.

I love how childlike Tom acted after getting beaten up by Tammy, especially the look he gave to the camera.

I hate that NBC gave clues to what could be up with April and Andy.
