Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Watching Chris Pratt on Graham Norton. He's a huge goofball. I adore him.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We're just now starting Parks and Rec, so I have 7 seasons (I assume) of Chris Pratt to look forward to.

So good. I think JZ laughed harder at Parks and Rec than she did at Community. So...it's good.

S1 is not really grabbing me (except the forbidden wine episode, which was pretty funny), but everyone says it gets better starting with S2, and S1 is just 6 episodes, so I'm sticking with it for now. Community grabbed me from the pilot.

The first six episodes don't count! They didn't know how to establish Leslie's character. It's only in the last of those six episodes that they get it right and then it starts flying in S2.

Right on. I trust everyone's judgment on this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Here's the inside deal. It started as a sort of Office spinoff and Leslie was going to be kind of a loser and like Ricky Gervais/Steve Carrell's character that nobody respected.
But that didn't work. and they realized that Amy Poehler had this kind of intrinsic warmth and likability and they shifted gears and they made it more of Sisyphus structure with her being hypercompetent in a tiny pond, dealing with petty details. And that made zoning issues epic comic battles.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I also just watched Graham Norton mostly because of Chris Pratt, although everyone on was delightful.
Parks and Rec just kept getting better and better afaic. Although I liked it from the beginning.
