Season 1 blows. You get past that, and yeah, it's very much worth the look.

When parks and recs kicks into gear, it's easily up there with the office.

I've said it before and I'll say it again and again. Parks & Rec > The Office.

Okay then, I'll give it a shot. I see that it's available to Amazon Prime users, so that'll save me a lot of time.

I think P&R is much better than the office and also knew when to stop... The evolution of the characters was great between the start of the series to right around middle/end of season 2. It's probably the arrival of Adam Scott and Rob Lowe in combination of more Chris Pratt that leads to the better quality, but that's just one man's opinion.

Taken as a whole, P&R was better than The Office (US) imo.
That said, Andy's best line ever was an NSFW outtake about Kim Kardashian.

I'm on the boat that says P&R > The Office. A big thing that c2i pointed out is when P&R added characters it made the show better, the same can't be said for The Office.

That was a great line, but the best line ever in my opinion is one that actually made the cut.Taken as a whole, P&R was better than The Office (US) imo.

Fun fact... the director/writer/executive producer (Mose from The Office) almost didn't put that line in, simply out of a spite. As a writer, he was so mad that Pratt just came up with that line while he'd slave away writing and rewriting and rewriting trying to come up with stuff like that. Just said it wasn't fair.That was a great line, but the best line ever in my opinion is one that actually made the cut.Taken as a whole, P&R was better than The Office (US) imo.

How much you want to bet that PC wasn't even connected to the internet and that's how Pratt came up with that line? Not that he'd admit it though.

The Americans finished very strongly, probably one of the better final episodes I've seen recently.

So...Do you think Renee is a spy?

For the last couple of weeks, I have just been going down a Youtube rabbit hole of old Rodney Dangerfield/Johnny Carson/Don Rickles etc videos. It's given me a new appreciation for just how brilliant these guys were. Rickles had the sharpest wit of any comic I can think of, in terms of going off the cuff.

Seek out the unedited Dean Martin/Friars Club roasts. They were so funny, a comedian literally died at one of them. (Bob "Super Dave Osborne" Einstein's dad.

Groucho Marx is the original off the cuff comedian. His appearances on the Mike Douglas show were great.

For whatever reason, I never equated the actor in Curb Your Enthusiasm with Super Dave until I watched the episode.

A lingering point from "The Americans" (nonspoiler):
So, Philip Jennings is a massive hockey fan, and his cover story has him being from Pittsburgh (S5, ep4, when E and P double-date with Stan and Renee). But, unless I'm misremembering, you see him following and rooting for the Caps on occasion. I don't think he mentions the Penguins once the entire series; he should've at least mentioned drafting Lemieux in season 5, and he didn't.
That, right there, would've told me something wasn't right with him.
