I thought it was going to be terrible when I first watched it. Now, I like it better than The Office.

Not a fan of Rashida Jones, either.

Really? I think Rashida Jones is gorgeous. But I don't care much for Parks and Rec. The few times I watched it, it grated on me.

Oh yeah, I think she's a beautiful, beautiful woman; maybe it's just her character in P&R that annoys me. She plays the "voice of reason" character, which just comes off as boring.

It took me a while to get into it, but I think they pull off the whole "ensemble cast" thing way better in P&R than The Office. I like pretty much all the characters, which I couldn't say about The Office (that said, I think Creed should make a guest appearance on P&R. Just sayin).

I like Parks and Rec significantly more than the office.

Works fine on my mac. I've never seen it work on a game console. Try a different computer or a different internet service provider.

Louie.

Louie CK isn't for everyone, but I certainly love his brand of humor. There really is no format for the show other than some stand up, and then it's all up in the air. The shows don't tie together, there is no reoccurring theme, but yet each show is funny in it's own way.

I absolutely adore this show. The biting commentary and excellent mixture of emotions makes this one of my favorite shows. I also love his comedy as well, so there is that.

In the absence of Curb, Louie has been the best "comedy" on TV by a long shot.

I wish we'd get more Curb.

Random thoughts:

Walking Dead had a strong episode last Sunday that could set up some nice arcs going forward, especially if they follow the comics. They're at a point now where things really escalated in the comic book story line and many interesting new characters were introduced.

Better Call Saul's last two episodes were pretty strong, I'm very much hooked now.

Gotham is a very flawed show, yet something about it appeals to me. I think a lot of it is casting. Penguin is the breakout star of that show as far as I'm concerned. Bullock is pretty entertaining and this show's take on Alfred is working for me. Catwoman's boring though. Barbara is a pointless character. Fish is annoying. Gotham's biggest weakness is it's female characters. None of them are particularly good and they all seem to drag the show down. What I do enjoy about the show is how it captures the city's lunacy, and how it feels very Tim Burtonesque at times

Sleepy Hollow had a pretty "meh" finale to a pretty "meh" season. They hit a sophomore slump.

Arrow is awesome still, though I've found a few creative decisions this season rather questionable. There's talk of yet another series set in this universe. Between this, Flash, Gotham, a new Supergirl series and whatever else comes down the pipeline, DC is really throwing down the gauntlet at Marvel with its TV presence.

Agent Carter was a good mini-series, but the finale was kind of "meh". Wouldn't mind seeing the show come back as a regular series though.

I'm officially hooked on Galavant. They have such awesome musical numbers:



Once Upon a Time came back strong this past Sunday. They do some amazing casting on this show with a PERFECT Cruella de Vil
