"Parks and Recreation," much improved

I'm hoping she shows up in Part 2.

 

I would like a full review, if for no other reason than the fact that I'm sure it's hilarious.

 

Renewed, per Sepinwall.

Thought the season got off to a really good start but last night's episode wasn't very good (IMO). Leslie was incredibly unlikeable.

 

The London episode was awesome.

 

Yesterday's episode had me bust out laughing quite a few times.

 

I have a feeling this will be one of those shows that has a longer run in syndication than it did on the networks. It's such a great show and based on the ratings, it's so underappreciated, at least from the masses.

 

Isn't that true for almost all shows (that reach 100 episodes)?

 

Did Cosby and Cheers have big syndication runs? I don't think Cosby did.

 

Both of those shows are still syndicated now. So is M*A*S*H.

 

Cosby seemed like it made up about 40 percent of the cable superstations' programming block at one point in the 1990s. Almost like the Andy Griffith Show for TBS in the 1980s, if not quite as ubiquitous.

FYI, last season of Parks and Rec is now streaming on Netflix.

 

This season is really off to a good start, and of course I've love it from the start. ... BUT, the Chris and Anne storyline needs to go. As do both of them. Anne obviously has overstayed her welcome. April is getting a bit annoying, and although I love Andy, he hasn't been involved too much this season.

Leslie, Ron, Tom and Ben run the show. I miss Jerry's once-a-show awesome line, and they should develop Donna's character a bit more.

But still plenty of zip on the fastball.
