    I’ve never identified with a TV character more than Nick Miller, which says a lot about me unfortunately, and that show is definitely a great binge. Agreed that it’s still a level below that top tier Parks and then the Office occupy

    Love Nick Miller and also love Schmidt. All of the main characters are funny except for Jess

    if you’re going to put a show at that level it’s probably Brooklyn 99.

    It’s cool that you think that, but it’s factually incorrect

    New Girl is... Not good.

    Has its moments, but it isn't in the same league as Parks or Office.

    I’m on season 3 of community right now. I wouldn’t put it above parks or the office over all, but it’s got some higher peaks.

    It originally aired right after New Girl and that’s when I came to this conclusion

    Since New Girl got brought up...

    I just started watching it for the first time. Is the apartment a former gym or something?

    They say what the building used to be at some point, but I can’t remember. Pretty sure it’s not a gym, but I could be wrong

    Knew it was coming but still sucked to see the Available until October 1st notice that popped up while watching on Netflix today.

    I think it's only going to be streaming on Peacock starting in October.

    I think it’s like Hulu where there are commercials even if you pay for the exclusive content.

    Peacock has three tiers. Free, $5 a month and a $10 tier (maybe $15) the free one is limited and has commercials. $5 has commercials but is full access to everything. The most expensive is the commercial free. Hulu has commercials for live tv i believe.

    I did the trial of peacock premium ad free and you got one ad every few episodes from what I saw.

    Was it for Peacock stuff like how HBO advertises their stuff or was it regular TV ads?

    I haven't watched Parks and Rec but totally agree on The Office. Seasons 1-3 are amazing. Season 4 has good episodes but gets lame near the end. And then yikes

    I'd argue the season and a half ish after Ben and Chris show up peaks higher than anything the Office ever did.

    Season 3 is fucking amazing. Every episode is hysterical, culminating in Lil Sebastians memorial which is 100% unadulterated genius.
