I'm not a huge fan of Amy Pohler's comedy, it's probably going to be a little too close to The Office for me.

The State on DVD, July 14.

I work with Nick Offermans's brother who is in Parks, so we have TiVoed it and will be watching with great excitement. Nick's Bro is one the best guys ever and he and his wife are friends of ours. I have met Nick who is also a great person. Cool guy; he acts and also does professional woodworking, like building furniture and stuff.

He plays the boss, right? My current favorite character. I suppose in Republican Indiana, as in Republican Texas, those are the guy who rise to management in public service.

I'm liking Parks and Rec so far. It's got a lot of potential. I was all excited to actually see where my local Mosquito Abatement Center is today, so I guess it's my kind of thing.

I was iffy on The Office until Pam made the sale. I was just so happy for her right then, I want Michael Scott Paper to make it somehow. And I do enjoy seeing Jim just do everything wrong, though if it goes on much longer I'm sure I won't.

In the course of discussing the current structure for television threads, it was suggested to modify the slugs (and sometimes headers) for TV bucket threads to more adequately represent what is discussed in each one. The idea behind this revision is to make it clearer when looking at the list of thread titles which shows are discussed where.

This (non-inclusive) listing would not be to restrict what can be discussed in a given thread, but rather to give an idea as to which 3-5 shows are likely to be dominant in that thread at that time. They would be updated every 4 months or so to reflect the changing network/cable seasons.

The decision as to which shows belong in the current slug will be based on bullshit consensus within each thread. When the call goes out (like now!), please discuss in-thread and then post any update or change in Bureaucracy so that the stompies can update the slug.

The proposed slug for Comedy 1 is: Thread for discussion of comedy television shows, including, but not limited to, ?, ?, and ?. [NAFDA]
Please revise and fill in relevant titles for the upcoming months and post the update in Bureaucracy.

Currently, the header for Comedy 1 is Header: This thread is for comedy TV, including network and cable shows. [NAFDA]
If this needs to be changed, please post an update in Bureaucracy.

Shows that get discussed her: How I Met Your Mother, The Office, 30 Rock...

Occasionally My Name Is Earl.

:: appears, waves little Earl flag ::

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. The Big Bang Theory goes here too, but there's not too much chatter on that (sadly).
