I think the Halloween eps are funnier. I think the Xmas eps are good but I haven't found them funny.

I think the s2 Halloween is my favorite of all of them, but the Christmas eps as a group have been stronger.
Yeah, I can't argue with that.
Parks and Rec is single-camera, so it stands a chance! I don't think it has the joke density of Arrested Development or Better Off Ted. What it mostly has going for it is that the comedy and the plots are strongly rooted in character. It did take a while to find its feet that first season iirc, but then it just kept building - this last season was great. In a totally different way from how this last season of. Community was great, but they kind if complemented each other well, somehow. I'm a little sad they aren't on back-to-back anymore.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister is having a "Hey! AD!"-gasm over Community, so I sent her my confusion shortly after watching AD myself, and she's using it as a checklist as she goes.

This is in a separate post because Chevy Chase's own words usually (and no different from normal) make me throw up in my mouth a little: [link]

Faux-by was on L A Complex! Performing at a bar mitzvah, even.

That article was funny ,ita. It's funny when people call Chevy a comedy genius.(Although my brother seriously thinks that's so...sometimes I think I'm not the only one with brain damage.) Admit it, dude, you were one pilot from going on "I love The '70s" and in your ego you think you look like Joel McHale and Annie and Britta should want to make out with you.(Joel is also funnier than you, as is Louis CK's dental floss.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is anyone else watching The New Normal? I am pretty sure I shouldn't be enjoying it as much as I am, but I really am enjoying it.
I think it's an Ellen Barkin thing.

I'm enjoying it. Although, I'm behind on episodes because the DVR died again.

I checked out Go On because I was looking at it without sound on the airplane, and whoa. It does not turn out to be like the visuals had vaguely set me up to expect. I don't think Matthew Perry is pulling off what the characteristics of the lead seem to be. John Cho had to describe him for me to get what he was supposed to be. I'm way disappointed.
I also meant to catch the Mindy Project, and noticed that slipped through the net--anyone saw it and have an opinion. I want it to work, but only if it's good.

It was ok. I liked the main character ok, but some of the minor characters are really annoying. It was also a bit watch from the hall at times.
