It's so nice to have Thursday night TV back.

Community, The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec and Archer. That is solid.

Ron Swanson giggling and telling Andy to wait up after they set off the car alarm was the funniest thing since the Ron Swanson Pyramid of Success.

Parks and Rec has been brilliant so far.
How about David Brent on The Office? When Carell leaves maybe Gervais could step in for a few episodes. The door is open. I'd love it.

Will Ferrell signed up to carry a few of the transition episodes.

Anyone been watching An Idiot Abroad? I actually had my doubts, because it was obviously going to be pretty contrived, but Karl Pilkington hasn't let me down. The guy is just brilliant. He's such a unique character in comedy, because he's obviously not an idiot, but he is. He's smart enough to know quite a bit about modern events, life, whatever, but he still says the goofiest things. If his whole routine is just a character, he's amazing at it. But it really don't matter how contrived it is, he's entertaining as hell regardless.

Some great quotes from Karl
"Yeah, it smells more Chinesey now. Sort of sweet and sour."
"Where's the line between food and insects? if she gets up in the morning and there's a spider in the bath, what does she do? oh good, I'll leave the croissant for tomorrow I'll eat that now"

I've seen all of Idiot Abroad. Love it and I hope Karl is game for a second season.

I'm very happy with what they've done with Andy since the first "season." He had a real ungrateful douchey vibe at first. He's one of my favorite characters on TV now.

Leslie, I typed your symptoms into the thing up here and it says you could have network connectivity problems.

And everyone should be watching Archer.

Took me a while to get around watching, but Archer is great. H. Jon Benjamin is easily one of the best voice actors around. I loved his coach McGuirk.
