They're not going to kill off Jerry this isn't some Adult Swim show lol come on. Nor would they allow him to spoil it with a tweet.

Aziz does seem pretty checked out. And the fast pace wrap up and massive fanservice of this season is a little much. BUT at the same time it somehow seems like a perfect sendoff for this show. II wouldn't want another drawn out meandering season like the last two.

I didn't particularly care for the Johnny Karate episode because I think Andy works best by interjecting his comments and antics into regular situations, not basing a whole episode around them. That said, it was also a creative way to give the cast a fun last hurrah, and I wish the show had done more fun episodes like this (The Office had several) especially in season 5 and 6 which really had a lot of filler and could have used it.

I do have to agree, during the last 3 seasons, they've had the character's lives play out in an absurdly perfect way to the point where it's become tiresome and boring. I'm still enjoying this season, but its another reason I'm glad its a half-season.

Windows 98 posted:"I am upset by the fact that fictional characters on a TV show all have happy endings right before it ends. Happy endings never happen in the medium of story telling and doing them is just flat out boring. Why don't they have Garry get hit by a train while picking up a Jellybean? Why not have Leslie get fired and blacklisted from every government job in the country because she went psycho? Why not make Ben mayor again and then have him fail like Icetown only to commit suicide later in the episode? This is bullshit. I didn't watch this show for 7 years just to find out that everything gets tied up with a nice little bow on a gift of happiness and goals being met." - Something Awful Goons That's not what I'm saying at all. Nothing wrong with happy tied up endings, its just that its been extremely heavy handed and each character has just conveniently had these amazing opportunities just dropped in their lap, not just once or twice, but constantly through seasons 5-7. In comparison, the Office characters had realistic setbacks and hardships and their final situations were more down to earth outcomes, not "every single character becomes a super mega success." Again, not saying I hate the show now, I'm still enjoying it. It's just a minor critique / personal preference. Also i think it could have been solved by having seasons 5 and 6 shorter and tighter.

YES I'm so glad they included Jean Ralphio, AND a flash forward!

That was a great finale. Especially the closing moments.  and I guess its up to us what happens to Ben and Leslie after being governor of Indiana.

Something I wish they had done was have the 2025 (was that the year?) reunion conclude with a group photo and mirror that with the final scene of the 2017 group photo.Phenotype posted:Ok, so I enjoyed the finale, and I'm glad all the characters we've grown attached to get happy endings, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt like they were watching P&R fan fiction, am I? It just felt, I dunno, just a little too perfect--the episode was a collection of scenes about how LITrally every character on the show ends up accomplishing their dreams and having a wonderful life. I also enjoyed the finale a lot, but the more I think about it, I agree with this to an extent. This entire season was already spent ensuring that each character is set up for success. Everyone leaving Pawnee for their next life step was the real end of the story for these characters and their time with the Pawnee Parks and Rec department, so we already had closure on every story arc with a happy ending. Adding that Andy and April had kids, Garry got elected mayor 4 more times, Donna became loaded and went on adventures, Tom became an author and motivational speaker, and Ron retired with a dream job doesn't really add anything to the story of the show, which is why it does feel like fanfiction.

I was actually going to mention Bob's Burgers but decided its too different from Parks and Rec to compare. But its definitely a positive show, and any show where the characters both are believable and don't hate each other stands out these days.

Boywhiz88 posted:The first season is great. IMO the first 2 or 3 episodes are a little off-putting, for some reason they go for a lot of shock/gross out humor, perhaps as an attempt to sway the Family Guy crowd. It just comes across as very amateurish. After that though it finds its voice pretty quickly and is pretty solid throughout.

I'd skip season 6 over season 7. I can't remember anything that happened in 6.

I actually thought it was fun and interesting to see what a fictional character that I wish were real and running for president would have to say about it.

Did you watch past the first few episodes? Never judge a show by its first few episodes.

I would say that more often than not, the first few episodes of most sitcoms are always a little rocky and rough around the edges, whether because they haven't found their voice yet or they're trying to ease the viewer in with something more basic and familiar before diving in, or something else. You can use them to gauge whether or not the show is your style, but they shouldn't be used for considering if the show is overrated or not.

By "off the chain" I assume they meant "crazy and fun" and not a criticism
