While I agree with the guy's love of the "30 Rock," he loses points for his boosting of "Parks and Rec," which so far plays like a sitcom created by people who had heard of comedy but never created it or were working from scripts that had been translated into Finnish then back to English. I'm willing to give it the beneift of the doubt -- since "The Office" was dreadful at the beginning -- but any ensemble that's depending on Amy Poehler to carry the funny is at a disadvantage. --Dave Sikula --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
