I am one degree of Kevin Bacon removed from Grant. Which means I am only two degrees of Kevin Bacon removed from Kari. Woot.

Wet Hot American Summer...The tv series?

January 9, 2015, Deadline.com reported that an 8 episode miniseries based on the film had begun shooting for release on Netflix. Almost the entire cast of the original film will be returning, along with Showalter and Wain.

I'm making my way through season 1 of The Blacklist on Netflix. It's pretty good, but it really seems forced at times. It doesn't help that this is the next series after I binged through Breaking Bad, but seems very "network" and the ineptitude of the FBI is a little eye-rolling.

Well...it seems network because it is network.

The total lack of respect for actual law enforcement procedure is :face: but I can look past it. It's a good show. Spader is amazing.

I know it is. I guess I just never noticed how annoying following those types of patterns is episode after episode until I started watching cable shows. Spader is fantastic, but man the main girl is annoying.

We don't disagree. Not sure where you are in season 1 but it gets better. It's not as serial down the line but the network pattern is still there.

I love the fact Adam does like 2-3 voices on Cartoon Network shows.

wife and I just started Parks and Rec last night. I've heard so many good things, but this is a struggle to keep with it. Does it get better after the first few episodes?

I had the same thought as c2i. "Oh...this is just an unfunny version of The Office..." Didn't keep watching past 5 or 6 episodes.

Saw a commercial the other day... apparently there is going to be a new season of UK Kitchen Nightmares. I'm looking forward to it as the American version got reallllly stale, and even at its best was not as good as the original.

I think season 3 of parks and rec is when it really finds it's place.

my thought exactly... it was just the office, but didn't make me laugh. I think we made it to episode 6 or so. I'll keep watching.

I think it coincides with when Andy's role is solidified. Here's how I would rank the characters.

Andy
Ron
Chris
Jerry
Tom
Leslie
Ben
April
Donna
Ann

And Jam is the best peripheral character.
