    Season 9 sucks asshole, but Plop and especially New Dwight had some promise. Wish they were brought on sooner.

    P&R is a better overall show than The Office but Steve Carrell is the trump card.

    The Good Place is a quirky little show with a big idea that's kinda nice and uplifting. And genuinely enjoyable.

    The problem with it is that it's not funny. It's just not. There's not a moment in the first 3 seasons where I actually LOL'd.

    Every time I think I’ve come to a consensus on Parks or the Office I rehash the other show and completely flip my opinion.

    It’s awesome.

    I like p&r but the way they treat gerry/larry infuriated me.

    I realize it’s just tv but they took it way too far for me. Michael bullying toby every few episodes when everyone else treats him with respect is one thing, but every single character on p&r making fun of the guy every time he opened his mouth wasn’t funny, it was cruel.

    Agreed, it’s fair criticism. He’s the weakest character but that’s not saying much.

    His high point was stuffing envelopes: “any government job worth doing is worth doing twice.”

    Or something to that effect.

    Everyone’s reaction is so great. Chris deadpans the question perfectly, Aubrey realizes what he’s doing before he even finishes the joke and hits him immediately. Rashida’s totally mortified and Amy has this “are you proud of yourself?” look on her face

    PDA Episode:

    I don’t know guys. I, for one, enjoy watching them.

    No, stop. Just don’t. No.

    Can I finish? Can I finish?

    I was saying...I enjoy watching them...because it makes me horny.

    No one is a bigger fan of sexual touching than me. But with you two, it's reaching the level of a complex. I can think of three explanations:

    One, you're taking MDMA. Street name, Ecstasy. I've done it, and I know the feeling.

    Number two, you're desperately trying to fit in a whole relationship before Toby comes back from jury duty and Holly has to go back to Nashua.

    Or three, you're at an age where your sexual climaxes aren't as powerful so you need to overcompensate with foreplay, taboo behavior.
