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

[Guest mr. potato head]

"I'm going to type every word I know. Rectangle. America."

Line of the night. Parks and Rec was solid (though not their best), but The Office was just amazing.

[Meacon Keaton]

I missed Community due to work. Perfect Couples sucks. The Office and Parks & Rec were great though.

I like Perfect Couples, but I think it has a different audience than the other shows do. It just doesn't compare well against the other shows in that block.

It really is completely out of place. It belongs more on one of CBS' nights of largely-inoffensive-but-completely-inconsequential "comedies."

And just to beat a somehow-still-fucking-alive horse: fuck Outsourced. Fuck it straight to hell.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Outsourced is not as horrible as some people would believe. It's about 10-15 years too late to be considered good or even average, but it's not terrible.

[Josh]

No, no, it's terrible. Don't make excuses for it. Terrible, horrible, terrible.

[LL!]

MPH has terrible taste. Don't act surprised.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I actually quite like Perfect Couples. All three of the couples are pretty funny and work well together.

My favourite moment so far: "It's different this time, you weren't there. I'm big, she drinks from a jar. I really think it can work."

[Meacon Keaton]

Community was great last night.

"I think beer should be cold and boots should be dusty. I think 9/11 was bad. And freedom? Well, I think that's just a little bit better."

Also:

"Any particular reason why you had to repeat the first grade?"

"Well, I apparently didn't know how to use scissors. I sat in the middle of the see-saw. And I found the difference between 'duck' and 'goose' to be arbitrary.

Community continues to be a great show. I loved the bit at the beginning where the study group actually doing some sort of studying was something they dreaded.

Oh, and Jo returns to tv

[TKz]

POP POP!

[GoGo Yubari]

Community was decent but for once the star of Thursday night for me was 30 Rock. Chloe Moretz as Jack Donaghy's new rival is brilliant casting.

[edcq]

February 1996: The steak? A Ribeye. The Whiskey? Lagavulin 16. The lady next to me? A bitch.

Ron Swanson, my favorite TV character at the moment.

[TKz]

The more 30 Rock I watch, the more I dislike Liz.

[Fitzy]

I liked the ticker on the GCTV that said they still have a shortage of chicken fingers. Something needs to be done about getting more chicken fingers for this school! It also said no paintball this spring, which is disappointing, I was hoping for another episode based on them playing paintball again.

Edit: Well, just read that they are actually going to have another one at some point, so that's good.

[NM!]

I guess we can also cross out reasons why we never saw Magnitude up until now. The ballot stated he's 16 so I figure he'll be around when its outside of the college.

[Olive the other Jiberdeer]

I found the main story on Community fell a bit flat for me this week. It was still a solid episode (and excellent when placed up against any other television show I watch), but I found Abed's story more interesting this week. Maybe it's just that Annie-and-Jeff-centric episodes are my least favourite, with the exception of anything focussing on Shirley.

Two weeks without Community may kill me, though.

[zero]

I haven't watched last night's episode yet, but Perfect Couples is really growing on me. Obviously it's nowhere near the quality of Community, Parks & Rec, The Office or 30 Rock, but it's gotten better with every episode. Don't see it fitting in with CBS' laugh track-o-rama series of crap, strikes me as more of an ABC or Fox show.

Echoing the 30 Rock love though, Chloe Moretz is fucking awesome and tackling the feminist backlash against Tina Fey was hilarious. "I believe we were on page six... where Wonder Woman gets her period."

[Josh]

Two weeks without Community

Really?

A two-part season finale featuring Josh "Sawyer" Holloway, no less.
