Lots of internet hype, I was hoping it would be good.

God damn that blond chick is irritating though, I just can't do it.

I think I watch two episodes (being forced to that is) and I was just like no. No.

I hate the way it's filmed and I hate the writing.


I'm a Liger.... Want to see my Liger impersonation?

It's really, really bad.

I've seen interviews with the mustache guy and the big eyed girl and watched the indian guy do standup, they seem entertaining on their own, but not in the show. The blond girl that I'm assuming is the main character just makes it painful to watch.

I rather enjoy the show actually.  Outside of the random political BS they throw in occasionally.

I don't mind it as much as I mind other shows, but it's not great. 


I'm fearful, I'm fearful, I'm fearful of flying, and flying is fearful of me.

The first season was bad but after that it starts to get a whole lot better and is one of the most funniest shows today. I started watching it halfway through season 3 and it was beyond hilarious

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, even if they are horrible and wrong.

 

Just kidding, except about the opinions part, that shit is basic human practice.

 

I can understand how the it doesn't jump up and down on your funny bone right away and have you in stitches, but it really is a funny show.

 

It is kind of like when you eat a spicy food and think "Hey, this isn't so hot, why are people acting so weird about this?", and then a little while later you get punched in the head by the burn and you suddenly understand what everyone was all excited about. Then you feel the irresistible urge to tell other people and get them to have a taste and share the experience.

 

Parks and Rec is a slow burn, but it will get you sooner or later, and it will get you good.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

It does get better. Purely because Pratt is more involved

Should I skip forward to a certain episode and try again?

I would just keep watching it when you have time and let it sink in to your brain a bit.

Once its in there, it, is , in, there.
