I don't know if I'm ready to lose my best TV friends. They are like family to me :(

That may have been the worst hour of television to ever air.

Get the gently caress out of this thread. It was magical because those are our best friends and we will miss them forever.

Hitfix just put up a wonderful interview with Michael Schur about the background characters in Parks.

That was actually the only part of the episode that wasn't actively horrible in every way. Ben has been the only good part of this show this season. Andy is too overboard, April isn't grim enough, Gerry is too featured, Donna is incredibly bland (as she always feared), Ron lost it a couple years ago, Tom has been nowhere, and Leslie has always been a horrible character.

If this season went completely insane with future jokes it would be way funnier. Right now it's like an extra toe growing out of the side of your foot. The series ended last season.

More Ben, less everyone else.
You will no longer be considered "human" by our standards. You are now "sub-human".

Harris Wittels (Played Harris in Animal Control and he was a Producer on the show) just died. OD'd at his home, found him on the couch :(

He was loving 30 years old.

Esquire has had a marathon on for the past 3 days. I forgot how much I loved the "flu season part 2"

Another P&R essay from hitfix. This one focuses on Andy and April's relationship.

quote:

"There is a kindness to "Parks and Recreation" that makes it uncommon among TV shows, and I'm not sure there's anything quite this earnest that's come out of this modern wave of improv comic talent. Irony is easy. Cynicism is easy. Sincerity is dangerous and scary, and yet that's exactly what makes "Parks and Recreation" so special, and it's what I'll miss most."

Oh, the feels. Too many feels.

That was the most satisfying series finale ever. Knowing everything worked out for them in their own way made the loss so much easier to deal with.

I've always heard tales of people who say things like, "30 Rock wasn't really funny" but I've never actually met one of them. I'm surprised to find so many of them in one thread. 30 Rock & Parks were the two most consistent comedies I've ever seen. Even more so than Arrested Development.

Also here's a pretty good compilation of all the citizens. I forgot about the "fence around their fence" guy

This was great an all but it doesn't even have the pawn shop owner in it and he's pretty much the greatest thing ever.
