Cool, but your original post is the equivalent of “First!!!” in any post about The Simpsons not being great anymore.

Say “It’s still funnier than 30 Rock” and that statement might actually have some weight. Otherwise, that’s like going to a Robin Williams stand-up show and saying “he’s still funnier than Jeff Dunham”.

Rashida Jones’s character might not have a plausible reason for hanging with the Parks Department, I might not have a plausible reason for hiding outside Rashida’s house in her bushes. Some things you just have to roll with.

When it involves me, everything is awkward! (Baby!)

Community continues to prove it’s one of the best sitcoms in years. The entire episode was top-notch. From the creepy Human Being mascot (and the racism in creating it (“Get me a Desmond Tutu with enough cream to turn it into a Lou Diamond Philips.”)), to Brita’s softening toward the girls (“(Crying) I’ve peed alone my whole life.” (and especially the part where Shirley hugs her instead of Annie)), to Troy and Abed rocking the end credits (as always), I really love this show!

P&R takes after the office in more ways than one. One of those ways is the absolutely massive shift in quality from S1 to S2. Just like The Office, which was stiff in the first season but evolved into smooth (?), great humor in the second, so has P&R. It astounds me how much this show has become golden. The opening segment with all of Leslie’s embarrassing purchases heard by Tom was freaking hilarious (“Who’s your man-pillow shaped like?–>”Daniel Craig.”), Jerry’s continued dislike by everybody is becoming a great take on The Office’s relationship between Michael and Toby (“Okay, everybody just pretend that Jerry was never born.”), and Paul Sheer knocked it out with his guest Appearance (Kaboom it!). Seriously, freaking huge improvement.

Speaking of Micheal and Toby, were they great in The Office or what!? That Michael would stoop so low to make up with Pam as to be nice to Toby shows how much he wanted the situation to end. Of course, it couldn’t end without Michael telling Toby to go to hell once it didn’t work. Dwight’s entire thing with the Mallard (or what did Kelly call it? Professor Featherstein?) is a brilliant sub-plot (especially the twist ending). Also, I knew that Pam’s reaction to Michael boning her Mom would be worth seeing. Jenna Fischer nailed it, especially the No’s right after she figured it out (second also, Michael telling her something like “It’s okay” is great”).

I know Videogum is all “30 Rock is the best!”, but I honestly don’t see it. Every season I tune into two episodes of this show (the first one, and one halfway through) to give it a chance, and it always ends up strictly sub-par to me. If I need to waste a half-hour (and I do, with Sunny being on 30 min. after that) and there isn’t something more interesting on, there are certainly much worse things I could watch, and it gets an occasional laugh from me, but I can’t really see why the rest of Videogum thinks it’s so brilliant. Is it something I would have had to be with since the beginning to get?

Sunny for me was a bit of a disappointment this week. The episode was strictly average, with nothing good or bad really coming out of it. It felt like a less than great sequel to “The Gang Gets Invisible” mixed with the story structure of “The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell”, but with none of “The Gang Gets Invisible”‘s brilliance (of course, that episode had the McPoyle’s, so it’s a bit of an unfair comparison). Maybe it just seems disappointing compared to the last two episodes utter greatness, but I still feel it’s probably just a meh episode.

Peace out, Ya’ll!
