Parks and Recreation -- "Boys Club" -- 4/30/09

Parks

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Leslie faces an ethical dilemma when she tries to break into the "old boys' club" of politics. Elsewhere, Andy (Chris Pratt) plans a surprise for Ann.



2 more episodes left after this one. I somewhat enjoyed the 1st 3 episodes, but I'm 50/50 whether or not I will watch a full 22 episode season. The episodes have been watchable, but not laugh out loud funny.

Yeah. They've just done 3 episodes about a pit? I think they've gone about a far as they can go with the topic. It is just okay. Wouldn't go out of my way to watch it if I missed it.

I did miss it tonight, so I have to decide whether to go out of my way. Hard to say.

I agree that this is an absurdly limited premise. If there is a season 2, they need to ditch the pit. This kind of reminds me of Cursed that way. After a handful, they realized there was no way to keep that up and retitled it The Weber Show (outstanding name for a show there ).

I may be one of the few who actually enjoy this show. I thought it was pretty funny tonight. Not as good as the office, but more amusing than most stuff on TV.

I thought this episode was pretty great, but I am a fan of Amy and Aziz and to see them work together is very cool imo. I've met both of them, and they are cool people so I hope the show gets renewed.

This was probably the best episode so far.

That quote where the boss talked about how he prefers government where one guy has control of the nuke button and how people in government should be selected by how they do in decathlons and woman should service them cracked me up.


Also the part where Chris Pratt was naked on crutches running after that one guy was funny.

If NBC did cancel it what other show could possibly replace it?

Kath & Kim is probably canceled and they usually do only sitcoms on Thursday nights and the 10pm Leno hour.

I agree, this was my favorite episode to date. It's still got some way to go, but it's finally starting to gel for me. I like that the show's going after the other characters a bit more... in the beginning it felt like Amy was the butt of all jokes and everyone else was the straight man to her antics. We're getting to see more of their weaknesses now (Mark's man-whore ways, her boss's bizarre decathalon talk) so the show is starting to breathe a little.

Ron and Tom are the only redeeming characters on this show.

I too think last night's episode was the best thus far. I laughed quite a bit.
