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

The AV Club Walkthrough for Parks and Rec is pretty recently up: [link]

I love all that behind the scenes stuff.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I've been rewatching Community season 2 this weekend, and I would feel so much better if I could convince myself that the season ended with someone hitting Pierce in the face with a shovel.

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

I watched the first ten minutes or so last month after watching the original and was astounded at how strangely unfunny it was, especially given how closely they were adhering to the original, even down to the costuming and set. Or perhaps because. The whole "Use the exact script as the British series" never works.

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

Dan Harmon, being Harmonesque: [link]

I wish him luck getting to the grumpy showrunner niche. I'm assuming he wants to be lucrative enough to be indulged in his...ways.

And part of me is convinced he means "fewer ideas", but hey--he's the professional, so I'ma let him finish. I'm sure there's an argument to be made.

The whole "Use the exact script as the British series" never works.

Other than Coupling, where has this been done?

They also tried Fawlty Towers, though I don't know if it was the same script.

And Red Dwarf.
