It's a gem. I love the little promotional bits.

I really love Jonathan Slavin -- he was in the Andy Richter show in a similar role, IIRC.

Yeah, he's one of my That Guys that I always enjoy.

Portia was hilarious keeping Ted's daughter around so people wouldn't get emotional in her office. And teaching her to fire employees!
I am neutral on Slavin's character except when he's interacting with his lab buddy.
The woman who's hounding Ted to have an office affair with her can't go away soon enough to suit me, though.

Really? I don't need for her to get with Ted, but I love her stealing creamer and throwing stuff (that people won't be knowingly eating) at her monitor. "We're not supposed to do this. They even sent around a memo. It's what gave me the idea."

Matt, you scared me for a second, thought I'd missed Better Off Ted. Or that you were posting from the future.

More like from the past; I think I forgot to comment last week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Parks and Rec, anyone? I liked it! At least partly because I like municipal government, and spent a formative evening in my youth sitting in a meeting with my father where curb cuts were discussed in detail....

Dang! I forgot.
I think I'll like it because I'm the sort of person who reads the local government meeting minutes. 'Cause I'm all up in local business like that.

The Amy Pohler character is loopy, but she really cares about the town and her work, and I like that. I hope the show continues like that.
