What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, luckily, I've seen a good stretch of episodes in season two, so I am confident that I will end up liking it. And I found the second episode funnier than the pilot (I want The Tom and April Show ), but it's clear the show is still trying to find its feet and figure out the characters. They're all pretty one-dimensional at this point, but, come on, it's the second episode. I'll give it time.

I know a few people who prefer it to Community, if only because it has more heart. Of course, I think Community has more heart than people give it credit for (before watching it, I had the impression that it was very mean-spirited and cynical).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I loved Parks & Rec from jump, but I am pre-sold on municipal government....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Just finished the first season. I'm liking it, but I want to see more from Leslie Knope besides "hilariously naive optimism about government."

In other news, damn, Rashida Jones in a dress.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, there's also "Hillary Clinton in the world's tiniest pond." Meh. I like Amy Poehler and the idea that there are Amy Poehlers out there, but I kind of hate Leslie and find that she crosses the line from "Adorable, sitcom obnoxious

That is totally hard to picture, if you mostly think of her as Claire. I think she is great, though.

And she's also playing an evil PR flack in the new Torchwood.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

You know the episode of "Family Guy" where Lois catches Meg & her bf doing it in the ear? Lois tells Meg about how truly wonderful vaginal intercourse can be. Does anyone recall the name of that episode or (even better) have a link to a clip of that speech?

hmm you'd think ctrl^f 'ear' on the imdb episode list would work. I must only be remembering the subplot of the episode.
