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

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yeah, that was a pretty baller Community.

[GoGo Yubari]

Great Community. Possible top ten episode.

Parks and Rec, I didn't like the main Leslie plot but Chris and Ann being the worst people in the world was oddly hilarious.

[GoGo Yubari]

Goddamn, Community:

[TKz]

Definitely one of the better episodes since Season 2 ended.

[apsham]

I saw an article that said JOHN GOD DAMN HODGMAN and DAN FREAKIN' CASTELLENETA are going to be playing rival radio hosts on Parks & Rec. My life exploded.

[GoGo Yubari]

Well, Castellaneta's been on P&R like twice already:

[apsham]

..I forgot this.

Parks and Rec has essentially been renewed.

[GoGo Yubari]

Excellent! I kind of hope it's the final one, though.

[zero]

Community was almost basically renewed as well. It's the new Scrubs, the show NBC can't kill because everything else around it is awful.

[TKz]

Excellent! I kind of hope it's the final one, though.

Yeah, let it go out on a high, we don't need another Office situation where half the cast is gone before the end.

If all my favorite shows are coming to an end within the next year and a half, I might cry. Thank god GoT will still be around, though.

Excellent! I kind of hope it's the final one, though.

Yeah, let it go out on a high, we don't need another Office situation where half the cast is gone before the end.

Of the main cast, only Steve Carrell left. BJ Novak & Mindy Kailing were always more side players. The problem with The Office was they overloaded the supporting cast with so many bit players by the end (Erin, Nellie, Pete, Dwight Jr., Gabe, Robert California) that it made me miss the days where the supporting cast was small, but a vital part of the main stories and not just characters to create silly B-stories to fill time.

But given what has been mentioned for the Leslie character, I think Season 7 involves her getting elected to statewide office and leaving Pawnee.

[LL!]

Since this has to do with NBC Thursday night alums doing stuff together...

Steve Carrell and Rashida Jones reunite (kind of) to bring you a new cop sitcom headed to TBS.

[caucasianheat]

Does TBS have good originals now or is this sad?

[GoGo Yubari]

The one that came out this year from one of the Scrubs co-creators (Ground Floor) is supposed to be a good old-school sitcom. But still a little surprising.

[livid]

Yeah, surprising is the word I'd use more than sad. Ground Floor and Cougar Town (though not truly a TBS original) are both very solid but they don't have much beyond that. However, they don't really buy as many projects as even their rival cable networks so it's a little harder to be pessimistic based simply on their track record.

That said, I am a bit surprised that Jones didn't land something a bit more high profile but maybe it's just something fun to do while she concentrates a majority of her efforts to her writing duties (I know she's sold at least one pilot this season but I want to say she's sold one or two more, as well).

[Benjamin]

Tonight might be the last we see Troy Barnes :'(

[EddieG]

He's in at least 6 episodes, right? Tonight's only episode 5?

[MalaCloudy Black]

I believe it was only 5.
