To be fair to c-list celebrities, Letters to Cleo seems like a band that Ben really would want to perform at the concert.

But I had never heard of Land Ho or any of their songs.

What makes the Unity Concert so great is that all of the bands already had a connection to the show, so the cameos all did make sense.

Ben had a Letters to Cleo shirt on in an episode a long time ago, Ginuwine was mentioned as Donna's cousin before, and Yo La Tengo (playing Bobby Knight Ranger) had Amy Poehler on an album cover in 2000.

No. It really wouldn't matter if they suddenly said, "Oh. PS. He's straight," because the implication would 100% be that he's in the closet.
Not necessarily. I mean, yeah, a throwaway, "I have go to call my girlfriend ... my girlfriend who lives in Canada!" wouldn't cut it, obviously. But an episode playing on those assumptions could be funny. They haven't said he's gay - he just shouts with a weird intonation and likes entertainment traditionally marketed to women and gay men - if they played on the fact that those were the ONLY indicators his coworkers used to determine he's gay, that could make for a good episode. I could see Craig losing his poo poo over it - "So just because I like girls, IT MEANS I CAN'T BE PASSIONATE?! I AM FLAMING WITH INDIGNATION RIGHT NOW!"

The downside of that, however, would be that Parks & Rec's actual LGBT representation dips back down again to April's boyfriends and the patrons of The Bulge.

I had my doubts that the show could handle the triplets storyline well and they actually did it perfectly by not handling it at all. Really excited for next season now, really hoping they don't botch it they way Archer is fumbling with Archer: Vice.

It also never never occurred to me either until I read it on this forum.

I recently realized that in my old age, I am growing weary of cynicism. I think that is a big part of why I like this show. The universe keeps creating new faux-cynical people with the same old gripes and it grows tiresome.... but in this show even the cynicalist character, April, who hates Ann because she used to date her husband, still closes her sick burns to Ann with "I love you."

That's nice.

People should be nicer to each other.

I have seen some crappy ones, and some nice ones. The nice ones are either affluent cities obviously, or smallish cities in the north where they are usually historic buildings that have a team dedicated to preserving them. Then there is this city hall:



That is the city hall for Opa Locka, a "suburb" of Miami.

So all through the season finale, I was questioning its direction. The end credits scene... I like it. Takes the show in a completely new direction while skipping over a bunch of the other potentially boring stuff along the way.

They should bring on Armando Iannucci and take the final season in a much more hosed up direction. I'm imagining Chris Traeger delivering a Malcolm Tucker rant with just a terrifying smile the whole time.

A local city hall is on every tv show except this one. Usually with LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT or something on the screen.
