This season is so weird. It�s had some of the absolute best episodes of the show, but also some of the worst, and it�s only a third over. That high school reunion one was dogshit. Last night�s was fantastic, though.

I think they had to mess with stuff when they suddenly weren't canceled and had to hit their episode deadlines. See what happened with later Parks and Rec.

For instance, this latest episode was really weirdly paced and they were clearly working around budget limitations.

They were only cancelled for one day, it couldn't have been THAT big of a delay.

Yeah they would have still had the usual amount of lead-up to the premiere. And there�s less episodes this season, too.

Yea, it felt off somehow. I liked it a lot but it just sort of sailed by and a lot of the other characters had really weird cameos, almost.
It felt like a good episode of season 4 of Arrested Development, where they can't always all be with each other so it's cut in peculiar ways.

Chekhov's airvent was pretty funny I guess, they must have mentioned it at least 4 times.

This thread is also really quiet for one about such a big show

There's not a lot to say about it, really. It's very consistent, much more so than Parks and Rec, but I never feel like it reaches the peaks P&R did.

If I was ranking Schur stuff it would be:

Good Place
Parks and Rec seasons 2 and 3
Brooklyn 99
Parks and Rec seasons 4-7
The Office
Parks and Rec season 1

Scully and Hitchcock heard about the hot dogs and want in on that action!

Charles had few lines this episode, but "I'm the body!" was pretty great.

Amy getting literally turned on by barrel lectures and organizational techniques is corny as hell and will never not be funny. "Don't you stop."

I loved that episode. I honestly think it's one of the better ones, probably because I just love the Jake/Holt dynamic.

The_Doctor: Mar 29, 2007; "The entire history of this incarnation is one of temporal orbits, retcons, paradoxes, parallel time lines, reiterations, and divergences. How anyone can make head or tail of all this chaos, I don't know."

Nerdy horny Amy is my favourite gag, and I�m always glad when they return to that well.

Why do Americans think Coffee is cocaine? It's such a commonality in all American media, loving bizzare. I still found it funny but I rolled my eyes anyway.

Great episode all in all. This and the Hitchcock/scully one have been the best in this series so far.

Agreed, but I've so far used the Backstreet Boys cold open to get 3 people into this show.

I think Rosa being an archer was a great example of a well done "wacky" thing. I absolutely bought that Rosa could have that.
But if we'd still had Gina in the show it would have been her and it would have been dumb.
