And boom, full season pick up for Parks and Rec.
They’re not necessarily being canceled. They’ve just been picked up for shorter seasons of 13 episodes each instead of the usual 22. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, or set in stone. NBC has done that before, picked up a show for 13 episodes then extend it to 16 or 22. Also, this is not the first time that Parks and Rec and Community have been on the chopping block like this. It’ll be fine. And if it’s only 13 episodes, I bet they’ll be 13 really great episodes.
Also, 30 Rock has been setting up to end for at least 2 seasons now. Both of the main characters have been saying that they are ready to do something else. Tina Fey put it in her book, and Alec Baldwin talks about it pretty regularly.
I liked the New Girl a lot! It was much funnier and much more likable than I ever imagined it would be.
You know what other show is great? Best Friends Forever. You know what sucks? They released four episodes and then benched it. That is stupid.
Oh. Oh wow. I KNEW she looked familiar. This is going to take me a minute to deal with.
YES! I loved it so much (see my comment above)! It was so great! I want to say so many things about it, but I can’t because it’s impossible to talk about it without spoilers.
I really enjoyed this movie. I wanted to say something more thoughtful, but I just really had fun while watching this movie. It was funny and sort of sad, it never felt like it was dragging, the action was fun, everyone in it was great, and we FINALLY got a decent (if brief) Hulk story.
I also saw another Joss Whedon movie (well, co-written movie) this weekend that I really enjoyed. I know everyone has probably already seen Cabin In The Woods, but if you haven’t seen it, do so right now.
Yes to both the high voice and it’s funny.
Unrelated, I was concerned that RENO would be one of those things that I thought was really funny when I was in early high school, but that wouldn’t hold up for me now. Good news! It does! Still funny.
I didn’t see Community last night, but I watched the Ave Maria episode of RENO the other day (it’s on Netflix watch instantly now). Dangle plays it on the banjo and Jones sings it while Clementine is getting married to some guy with a giant mullet.
Aw, thanks!
You are correct. She works part time for the health department. They took care of that in the episode “The Fight” last season.
Pay attention, Ann-shouldn’t-be-there critics!
I agree with you about seeing Katniss’ hesitation. But I can’t come up with a way to have done that without it feeling forced, and they can’t talk about it outloud because they’re being filmed the whole time. In the book you know about it because it is written in first person, and Katniss sits in trees and thinks a lot. Having someone sit in a tree and think would not have worked in this movie.
I think that was my favorite part of the episode.
There are some spoilers here, if that matters to you.
I thought it was good! I cried a couple of times (The Reaping, Rue), I laughed a couple times (Stanley Tucci), and I was overall pleased with it. I was surprised at how much harder I found it to watch the violence on the screen than it was to read it in the book. The trackerjacker part was rough. Also, I audibly gasped when Cato snapped that kids’ neck after Katniss blew up their supplies.
Overall, I think that was pretty much what I had hoped it would be. There were a few things I wished had been developed a little more (mostly her relationship with Gale), but I thought it was a fine way to spend an evening and $10.
I liked the movie a lot too.
Ain’t no rule says a dog can’t play basketball.
I think that this moment was my favorite part of the night, and I’m not sure why. But I laughed and laughed and laughed…
I liked Donna too! She was no Rose or Amy Pond, but I thought their relationship was pretty funny.
I was actually sweeping mines right before I read this post. Get out of my internet, Gabe!
I’ve been enjoying Up All Night, and it definitely fits better on Thursday than say…Whitney. Anything that puts more Maya Rudolph into my eyes is certainly a good thing.
I like that he says Amy and Rory are going to leave “heartbreakingly.” Like any other companion exit (except for Martha, I guess) hasn’t been that.
You know what, I’m not afraid to say it: I like Up All Night. It’s not the best, but I like seeing Will Arnett’s face in things. And Maya Rudolph is awesome.
I like that Downton Abbey is on there. Mostly because I just finished watching season one the other day. I know I’m late to this train, but man! What a great show!
Exactly! Trampoline rule #1 No shoes allowed.
HA!
Also, it’s a good thing the Eagles don’t play the Packers this year. Can you imagine that kid’s meltdown if they went up against my boyfriend Aaron Rodgers?
I’m not a huge fan of the book either. There were parts I enjoyed (specifically the part where he organizes the factory workers), and I thought the ending was very funny, but I was bored for many more pages than I was entertained.
However, most of my friends whose literary tastes I trust and respect love this book. So, to each her own, I suppose.
