Not necessarily 100%... talking about Jon Hamm's character... quote:“If I have my way, every episode where you see events that take place before that moment will include a shot of him doing something insanely incompetent,” showrunner Mike Schur told my colleague Dan Snierson of a Hamm return after the finale.

Finally went to take a look at this... I find it frustrating that they're hinging the possibility of a standard version of the game being released on the success of this prohibitively large and expensive version. I would buy a standard version in a heartbeat, even if it was relatively expensive... but I have no interest in paying $500 for a ten square foot version of the game, or paying less to not even get a chance to get the game.

So, the two episodes a week decision seems a lot less like it was purely made by NBC's scheduling department now... since the last four episodes were basically both two-parters, it's been working really well, I think. Neither one would have worked nearly as well with a week's break in between.

Solice Kirsk posted:Yeah, Tom has never been funny. The one moment he gota laugh out of me was when he sang, "This is how you eat it!" and shoved that hot pepper in his mouth. But without Tom, would we even have Jean-Ralphio in the series? Or this moment? Or this one? He's a facilitator for having over-the-top things happen.

Pick posted:I'm worried about the upcoming episode title, Two Funerals . Amy Poehler teased that in one interview... That said, viewers can expect a big, emotional send-off in the series finale, which will air on Tuesday, February 24. “Everyone is there at the end,” Schur said. “The last moments of the show are everybody in the same place at the same time.” Added star Amy Poehler: “We do say goodbye to some ancillary characters. A lot of them get to say goodbye in different ways, by leaving... or dying.” Oh, and that same interview backs up what I was saying before about it being their decision to end it and not NBC's. quote:Schur and Poehler said it was their decision, and not NBC’s, to end the show after a 13-episode seventh season. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Macaluso posted:We're getting dangerously close to the end of the series without a Greg Pikitis callback He was just in it last season! And "The Pikitis Incident" was one of the items on Leslie's giant, elaborate timeline in "Leslie & Ron", when she was trying to figure out why Ron was mad at her. Greg Pikitis is one of my favourite episodes, and the one that made me fall in love with the series, but I'll be okay if he doesn't show up again this season. Now, Orin on the other hand... I hope he shows up. And I hope he's now normal, and married with a kid.

I really don't get why anybody in this thread is defending the lovely, stiff pre-set style of interview just because it's prevalent in late night shows. Even in the Late Night thread, the consensus has generally been that it's not great. And that Craig Ferguson's interview style was a lot better.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Nobody's defending it, just pointing out how stupid it is to complain that the hour-long entertainment products infomercial you decided to watch isn't spontaneous enough. Why? As I said, Craig Ferguson managed to be spontaneous in the late-night format. It's not impossible. And many comedians manage to go on other late-night shows without sounding like they're doing pre-written bits. Saying that it's dumb to complain about is not really different from defending it. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Feb 22, 2015 |

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:We're calling you dumb for being surprised by it, which you only are because you apparently don't recognize marketing until it's really, really obvious. If you actually thought it was indefensible you wouldn't watch. You're the guy who complains about commercial breaks but watches the Superbowl "for the ads." I'm not surprised by it, never implied that I was. Maybe you're mistaking me for another poster? Or you're just jumping to dumb conclusions. Also, I mostly did just watch Craig Ferguson when he was still on, so I don't know what you're going on about with the "if you thought it was indefensible you wouldn't watch" part. And you can find things annoying/lame without going so far as to think they're indefensible. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Feb 22, 2015 |

But it wasn't Parks & Rec, it was Parks & Rec fanfiction. I'm pretty sure it was actually Parks & Rec no matter how you personally felt about it.

FactsAreUseless posted:Basically the problem is that it walks back some very important character growth in Season 4 (Leslie learning not to be a giant out-of-control steamroller), which is an issue in a lot of sitcoms but more noticeable in one with characters developed as carefully and consistently as P&R's. To be fair, though, that's pretty true to life. Recognizing your faults doesn't always result in a change of who you are as a person.
