I would always see the first minute if I taped the show before p&r and it always seemed funny, don't know why i didn't watch. I never liked the lady with blonde hair from SNL, seems like NBC is really recycling SNL cast members these days.

The irony of Ron Swanson is amazing...

Ron Swanson is by far my most favorite TV character right now.

Chris: Have you ever tried a turkey burger?
Ron: Is that a fried turkey leg inside a grilled hamburger? If so, yes, delicious

For the most part, I really like all of the characters on Parks and Rec. Rob Lowe's character has run its course. And like Troy said, Ann Perkins is only there to be hot. I love the rest of them though. I also enjoy the appearances by Jean Raufio. His character would annoy me if he was on there all of the time, but he is on there just enough where it works. And I love his interactions with Ron.

"Off Limits" on the travel channel is a really good show.

Yea that was on last night. I was thinking the same thing. Crazy stuff. I had no idea the Nazis were numerous in LA at that time.

that was a terrible episode of the office. i imagine one of their goals was to pilot that unfunny british chick to see if audiences liked her. if that's the next boss, then i thank them for making my decision to stop watching an easy one

I stopped watching the Office sometime after Jim and Pam got married. My wife made me watch the finale, and there were some funny parts, it mostly dragged the last 40 minutes or so. James Spader was funny. And creepy.

While watching US Marshalls on AMC, I saw way too many commercials for The Killing. I had originally planned on letting hte show finish its season and then watch the thing all the way through in a couple of nights, but now i'm thinking I need to start watching it now.

ALso, I started watching Weeds yesterday...I got 3 episodes in, not sure how I feel about it yet.

Iron Chef America is no where near as good as the original Iron chef I watched when I was younger. This is the first time I have watched this show since it came on and I am disappointed.

It has also gotten worse as it went along... it's fairly boring these days.

Yeah, I heard on the radio that is the one they want to hire on as the boss to replace Michael. If true, I may be done with the show too. I planned on watching it to the end just because I've watched it from day one, but the show has gone down hill, and the only real bright spot IMO is gone from the show with Michael leaving.

I think you need to give it a little more time. I remember it taking a little while to pick up steam, but, in the end, the first couple seasons are the best, I think.

I don't usually like these types of shows, but Parking Wars on A&E is entertaining.

Just finished season 1 of the shield, and watching dead like me on streaming netflix while I wait for season 2. Don't know why I didn't watch either of these shows when they were on tv.

I have yet to watch an episode of Game of Thrones, I have them all on my DVR. Is the show worth it?

I can't watch this. I have had bad run-ins with scumbags from towing companies and what not, and this show would just make my blood boil with rage.

I'm a fan of Bryan Fuller's other two short lived series', Wonderfalls & Pushing Daisies. He also was responsible for the good episodes of Heroes, and it really started to suck after he left.

Wonderfalls is probably my favorite of the 3, but it was cancelled after only 4 episodes, and not really given a chance.

It's the same tone as pushing daisies and dead like me. Horribly quirky, sassy female lead with a boy's name, witty dialogue, and interesting supernatural plotlines. Wow. He should really lose points for following a formula, but I guess it's ok since his work is generally quality.
