GtrPlyr Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I had another point that slipped my mind. The Office: I think that they need a much harsher boss to really change the dynamic. At least for half a season, before someone funnier comes along. I don't think they'll let anyone know who replaces Steve Carell until at least a few weeks before the premiere. I liked the idea of David Brent coming on, but I'm not sure if Gervais wants to "ruin" his legacy on his original show by reprising his character. Edit part 2: I seem to remember reading somewhere that Gervais wanted either Will Forte or John Hodgman to be the replacement. Will Forte would have his unique brand of manic comic energy that would seem to be fine, but I can't get on board for Hodgman who would seem too much like Rainn Wilson's Dwight.I could see them going with Will Arnett.

Oil Can Boyd Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I always think of that and the Whats Happening with the Doobie Brothers (2 parts)...Rerun was taping the show because he had a debt to pay....LLLLLOOOOLLLLAnd included the classic line "Which Doobie you be?"

KevinG Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 So Fistful of Paintballs anyone? Thought Josh Holloway was a bit under used, but it was another awesome episode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
virtualreason Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 So Fistful of Paintballs anyone? Thought Josh Holloway was a bit under used, but it was another awesome episode. Even though this episode didn't have the piss-your-pants laughing moments of others, it might be my favorite Community episode. The whole look and style blew me away. I'm REALLY excited for part 2!!!

Analogman Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'd say Parks and Recreation won the night for me. I didn't think the Community episode, or The Office was all that great. Or maybe it was due to having two episodes of Parks and Recreation to watch. I loved that Andy line about Neutral Milk Hotel. He said something about them being "sad, depressing, weird, and art". I'll take Mouse Rat any day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
embiggen Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Parks and Recreation was hilarious last night. "gimme another Snork Juice!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Seeing them all drunk at the bar was pretty funny and Ron giving the young girl student a land mine cracked me up.Last week's Community was funnier than last night's, I didn't catch Office. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 there were two eps of Parks and Rec last night. oh man, I only caught the last one. Hulu here I come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I loved the Parks and Rec. Andy getting up and vomiting totally took me by surprise and made me laugh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Plus, we got to see Jean-Ralphio and The Douche again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Maybe there should be a separate Parks & Recreation thread. Separate from the Community thread, at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Maybe there should be a separate Parks & Recreation thread. Separate from the Community thread, at least. I don't think any one is stopping you from starting one. I personally like how this thread has turned in the NBC Thursday Night comedies thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 i began watching this when it started b/c i'm a joel mchale fan, but it just didn't grab me. maybe it sputtered a bit starting off?I had the same initial reaction. The show started very shaky, far too reliant on common archetypes and conventional sitcom scenarios. I was ready to abandon it, but my wife liked it so we kept watching. I'm glad I didn't give up on it: After a few weeks it began to find its voice, and at this point it's probably one of the best shows on TV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 So thoughts on the Season Finale. It did indeed get dark. It felt kinda like a series finale to me. Well there is a half order for next year. Hopefully we will get #sixseasonsandamovie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 They moved it to Friday nights. Where shows go to die. They also shortened Parks and Recreation next season also. This year I liked the one about the Dean's commercial, the air conditioning stuff, Inspector Spacetime, and Chang's takeover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Both Parks and Rec. and Community have been great this season - which is good because the Office and 30 Rock have not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't care for 30 Rock, and The Office was renewed. That surprises me - as Dwight is going to have his own show, and Mindy is going to have a show on Fox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Apparently Dan Harmon is out as show runner. Seems like a weird happening: http://danharmon.tumblr.com/post/23339272200/hey-did-i-miss-anything Wonders how the voice of the show is gonna change. I think the writers are gonna try too hard to keep it the same and it will fall flat. I will still watch though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 We'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Check this out: Dan Harmon Is Officially Returning To 'Community' I was surprised to see Community coming back, and now Harmon is coming back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Well, now it is gone. NBC Cancels Community After 5 Seasons I think that leaves Parks and Recreation and The Big Bang Theory as the only two comedies I will watch in the fall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
