Anyone know how many episodes we're getting this season? Couldn't find it when doing a quick search -- hopefully more than what we got last season, which was 16?

I'm pretty sure it's a full season this year. It was only cut short last year due to Pohler's pregnancy.

I believe Deftones is correct. This season is a full order.

Last season was, in my opinion, a flawless season of comedy TV. I can only hope the cast and crew are up to the challenge.

Just to note: Ron Swanson is the greatest character in the history of television.

Ron at the start of the episode.

Chris: "I want to apologize to all of the women...and Jerry. If I could go back in time and cut your eyeballs out, I would."

What's with Chris's hair?

---

Ron: "If any of you need anything, at all, too bad. Deal with your problems yourselves like adults."

I lost it when Andy poured the pink paint/shoeshine on Kyle's shoes.

Jerry having the largest penis the doctor had ever seen was great.

I'm sad to see Leslie and Ben break up; they made a great couple. The writers handled it wonderfully though and left open the possibility for the two of them reuniting at some point in the future. I also like how each season we get to see Andy grow; it's really nice to see a character that genuinely appreciates their friends and what they have in life.

---

A great premiere, but I expected nothing less from Parks And Recreation.

Aubrey Plaza looks like she's had some facial work done.

The start of the episode w/ Ron made me remember why I love this show and why Ron Fuckin Swanson is one of the best characters on tv right now!

I loved this season premiere. The picture scandal was hilarious and I loved the part in which Ann received all those pics and Jerry having the biggest penis was hilarious. Tammy One at the end was cool. Patricia Clarkson played bitchy well and I loved how she told April to sit up straight for her boobs.

It was especially good when Andy came around the corner and said, "Woah, honey, your breasts look amazing!"

Yeah, I noticed Rob Lowe's hair, too. It's like he was wearing a wig. Horrible. Loved everything.
