Because books.

I caught an ep of Parks and Rec last year, but I didn't know who anyone was, so I felt like I didn't really get it. Seemed funny, though.

I used to love The Simpsons so much. I just don't bother anymore, and there's usually a conflict with something else I want to see anyway. I do always try to watch The Treehouse of Horror episodes, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've watched every episode of the Simpsons since it started, most in real time. I still find it funny, though very different from how it began.

I find I don't mind laugh tracks (or studio audiences) when I agree with the laughter, so to speak, but find them intrusive and annoying when the laughter is at not-funny-to-me lines.

Is anyone else watching Husbands? It's a web series by Jane Espenson. I'm enjoying it so far.

Thrive to spite them

I tried Parks and Rec and I wanted to like it but I just couldn't get into it. The sitcoms I watch are How I Met Your Mother, Raising Hope, and Big Bang Theory.

askye,

if you try P&R again, start with season 2. It really hit its stride in Season 2.

Punishingly Intricate

I was eh on Parks & Rec in season 2 and it's one of my faves now. The first two eps of this season were super funny!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So...Arrested Development coming back--is that for real?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Until I hear a confirmation from a network, I believe "wishful thinking"

It's pretty specific news, but not quite enough for me to really believe.

I keep meaning to watch Husbands, but I haven't caught up with it yet.
