I really wish I could get into this show but I just can’t. It’s like The Office except not funny or appealingBootsToAsses wrote:Midway through season 6 of Parks and Rec. This is my first run-through of the show, and it's just so good. I don't think any season has been weak, and it just has this lovely feeling like it could go on and on forever and still be funny.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
I've seen the first two seasons, and I fully feel the slow burn. It's always good, but feels like it moves in snail pace. I watch a few episodes every couple of months, and it's never a problem being away or coming back into it. Good actors.durdencommatyler wrote:That makes sense.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
The process and the slow burn is sort of the point of the show. I agree with you about taking long gaps between seasons. It's pretty easy to catch up.Anders wrote:I've seen the first two seasons, and I fully feel the slow burn. It's always good, but feels like it moves in snail pace.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I like all the actors in the show but it does nothing for me.tragabigzanda wrote:my wife has been watching Grace & Frankie (awful), and i don't know if the romance between Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston is the worst gay relationship on TV of all time, or if it's complete lack of romantic chemistry actually pushes it into cutting-edge territory.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Has anyone else noticed that besides cancelling her new show, Roseanne is no longer in syndication either?
CMT replaced her with Home Improvement.
Paramount replaced her with Two And A Half Men. They even have a new commerical bragging their "new lineup".
Ouch!
