Anyone else catch the first epsiode or two of Showtime's "Episodes" with Matt Leblanc/John Pankow/etc.?

I loved the first episode of Season 3 of Parks and Rec. So glad that show is back.

Awesome, I was thinking about this show just the other day and was hoping it'd be back soon.

I watched Parks and Recreation tonight. Is it just me, or does that show seem like a pretty blatant ripoff of the Office?

Ricky Gervais was on the Office tonight. I think he was playing his character from the original version or a character based on it. Maybe he will be taking over for Michael.

That would be awesome. Overall, I thought tonight's episode was pretty weak.

there were rumors awhile back that david brent was going to be the new boss. I think that would go over well. Also, I'd think if they had him around for tonights sgow, he'd have a much bigger cameo than just that scene tonight. Maybe it's a tease for him actually showing up down the road. Him and michael hit it off, maybe michael handpicks him as his successor

I'm pretty sure Parks and Rec is made from the same people as The Office. I like Parks and Rec more. Ron Swanson is fantastic and Tom Haverford is pretty hilarious too.

I thought it was one of the better episodes. Andy jogging around the room to Paranoid while eating a sandwich had me almost crying.

I thought The Office and Parks and Rec were both really good last night, but Parks and Rec is definitely a step ahead now. Ron grilling in his office with Tom...

Yeah, I think it was just a cameo as well. Will Farrell is supposed to do a cameo before Carrell leaves also.

I didn't find Parks and Rec all that funny for the first time watching it. I mean, there's paying homage to a show like the Office and then there's just blatantly ripping it off.

Apparently after 10 years together I just found out my wife loves I Love Lucy. Saturday night I discovered that there are 4 episodes on every morning at 6am so I set the DVR to series record. I gotta say, I like this show. It's still funny 55 years later.

And Lucille Ball 55 years ago....HOT

The Cape looks to be on the way out. Not surprised but I'm liking the show. Oh well.

I knew that it wouldn't last. It has Summer Glau in it which is death for a TV series (see: Firefly and Terminator).

I've never seen a complete episode of Top Shot, but Season 2 starts Tuesday night.

Anyone watch it?

I'm setting the DVR to record the series.

I liked the first couple of episodes, but since then it has become a show that I watch because it is unintentionally hilarious.
