I am four episodes into season two of Parks and Rec, and I am kind of loving it now that it's about characters and not municipal government satire.

It took me awhile to fall in love with it too. But once I did, I just wanted to hug it really hard and take it home with me!

Sports Night:
Beau and I are blowing through eps and I can't quite grasp why this show is so well-loved by some. What am I missing?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
it's possible you have no magic in your spleen, le nub. it's been so long since i watched, but i loved the relationships between the cast, mostly. they all had a great rapport.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I found the laugh track in s1 to be super-grating, and it got in the way of enjoying the show. But amyth made me watch all of it, and it was worth it. There is no laugh track in s2. It's the relationships and the characters, really, plus some good dialogue and creative plot devices.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Joe and I constantly quote "Sports Night" at each other. Usually from The Cutman Cometh.
Also, "I told many, many people." is a common line around here.

Always Anti-fascist!
I don't know...it's cute. I think of it every time a TV show doesn't play "Happy Birthday"Which, you know, is quite a lot. "It took two people to write that?!" Also, I think Peter Krause and Josh Charles are adorable humans.

I love the episode with the letter to his sister and "My Boogie Shoes."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I guess it depends how far into it you are, LN. If you've seen Thespis and didn't love it, there is no hope.
