Are you talking about his mustache? It was burnt during Lil Sebastian's funeral in the season finale... Continuity! | Mike Zeidler

| #6 Posted on 25.9.11 2114.19 Reposted on: 25.9.18 2117.32 | Just watched the show. Leslie campaigning with Andy as her assistant is funny already, can't wait to see what they do with it. Aziz being involved with 720 probably won't last too long, but it's got potential for some serious comedy. Conclusion: this season is going to be good. | EddieBurkett

| #7 Posted on 26.9.11 0007.29 Reposted on: 26.9.18 0007.54 | Maybe I'm being sentimental a bit, but I thought the line was "I'm Ron Swanson, and you're Leslie -bleeped- Knope."
Tammy One was a bit disappointing after all the hype, but I guess Ron being audited could be interesting. Has he been reporting his Duke Silver income?

It easily beat Community though, which I thought kinda sucked. Andy as assistant has so much potential, although I did enjoy him in his shoe-shine exploits. | geemoney

Seconded about Community, though I thought P&R was maybe a half-step ahead of the Office this week. It was close, though. | Excalibur05

As funny as it can be, I think Community suffers from the same problem that 30 Rock does on occasion: It tries too hard at times. But when you swing for the fences on every joke, you are going to hit a dribbler every now and then.
While none were anywhere near bad, I thought Community, Office, and P&R, were all a little underwhelming. Still the best night on TV though, even without 30 Rock.

| #12 Posted on 27.9.11 1259.36 Reposted on: 27.9.18 1304.37 | Community felt self consciously weird as a rejection to people liking the show too much and thinking about it it too much - "you've spent the whole summer wondering how the group will be different with [x] out of it? Well, we're putting him back in before the first break, don't put me in a corner!" - while Parks & Recreation was merrily (and smartly) going on with it's usual level. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
