The Shows Mostly Formerly Affiliated with NBC's Thursday Night Comedy Block Thread **SPOILERS**

[Benjamin]

This week's Parks was fucking incredible. There is one joke that is probably one their best ones ever. By the end I was tearing up too.

Shit, I am so going to miss this show.

[zero]

Last night's Parks and Rec could've been the finale.

[Benjamin]

Absolutely. There's still 3 quarters of the final season to go, and I'm already starting to feel extremely sad when I think about it. Seriously, though that episode was just amazing. Nick Offerman was perfect.

[GoGo Yubari]

"Leslie and Ron" is very possibly in my Parks and Recreation top ten. That absolutely could've been the finale.

[tristy]

Ron Swanson is the Terminator.

[TKz]

Is Star Wars the one with the little wizard boy?

[Benjamin]

I'm only halfway through the first episode, but I NEED to change my name to Gregory Strong ASAP.

In The Office, what was the deal with David Wallace sending Holly away when he found out she was dating Michael? Like, it comes across like he had a thing for her or something. And then I can't remember it ever actually being revealed why.

The real answer, Amy Ryan was probably busy. The storyline reason, in a corporate structure I think it can be construed as a conflict of interest. They established that the HR rep worked for corporate and most likely had a role in evaluating Michael and also would represent Michael's behalf when it came to Michael's issues with the company. It makes no sense that Michael and Jan were allowed to date other than Dunder Mifflin took a tougher stance on the issue after the Michael/Jan debacle of a relationship

I'm only halfway through the first episode, but I NEED to change my name to Gregory Strong ASAP.

I'm going with Les Vegetables

[Ruki]

Just re-watching Parks and Rec....the one where Will Arnett is a creepy MRI guy...he says that Leslie has ample room and could probably have triplets. Ha!

[Benjamin]

Another excellent episode! Loved it, especially

Donna giving Jerry props with his real name, that was a fucking sweet touch. Almost teared at that, super cool moment.

Ben's drunk speech. Parks and Rec's Twitter account spoiled that it was going to happen, but it was still awesome anyway!

[Benjamin]

Ron's

brothers! And them not knowing he worked in government is the greatest.

Also the calzone joke making a comeback is awesome.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Oh man the Paunch Burger commercial.

Oh man the Paunch Burger commercial.

Seeing Eagleton Ron appear at the same time we're getting Sam Elliot in an awesome role on Justified is just too much.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

Harris Wittels, a writer and Executive Producer on Parks & Rec who appeared as Harris from Animal Control and also the creator of #Humblebrag on Twitter, has died of an apparent drug overdose at the age of 30.

This...has me speechless and I have no idea why. I loved his character on "Parks."

Man, fuck drugs.

[GoGo Yubari]

He was unbelievably funny on podcasts. This one hurts.

I am probably going to end up listening to all of these today...

[tristy]

Wow, that was a hell of a series finale. I'm not ashamed to admit I was teary eyed the entire episode. I'm going to miss this show.
