    Just over a month before the new season begins. I hope you've all seen these:

    If not, enjoy!

    On Saturday I saw Aziz and Chelsea Peretti (one of the show's writers) perform stand-up this weekend. Both were hilarious. I've seen Aziz before and he really brings it. But I was surprised and blown away by Chelsea. Very hilarious and based on her routine I have a feeling she really came up with a lot behind the character of April on the show.

    I just watched the pilot episode of Louie with Chelsea Peretti as Louie's date.

    First off, wow, it feels like a completely different show from what we're watching in Season 3, and second, Peretti isn't bad given the material she's working with.

    I'm completely guessing, but I think this may be Parks & Rec's final season.

    So, I hope Louis CK & Parker Posey re-appear as their characters and they fall in love.

    I work with a guy who has been sporting a Ron Swanson mustache and haircut since before Parks & Rec was on the air. Someday I will get a picture of him to post here.

    I would have bumped this a couple of days ago if I had realized the new season was kicking off last night. I was lucky to get home when I did so I was able to watch it (I hadn't even set my DVR).

    Andy & April in Washington DC could be its own show.

    I'm glad that Tom & Ann appear to be over.

    Im excited to see where Ron and his love interest goes.

    But i can see the writers giving this a 3 episode thing, making us believe its legit and then Ron finds out she's all about the government or something and drops the broad in Swanson style.

    Would of been a cool easter egg if the song that played was Ice Ice Baby.

    Great episode. And I sure didn't see that ending coming.

    I try to avoid spoilers and previews, but I was wondering how I didn't know that was coming. I'm surprised I didn't run into that everywhere.

    andy: i've been looking at your file all day ... jerry... if that even is your real name.
    jerry: it's not. my real name is gary.

    :laugh: i died laughing right there. has this been revealed before or have we incorrectly known jerry/gary's real name for 4 years now? he only gets maybe a minute or two per episode, but it's always golden. gotta be one of my favorite characters on tv at the moment.

    It has been an ongoing thing since the beginning.

    Talking about such uneven comedies on the first page prompts me to bump discussion of the most consistently funny sitcom going.

    The first season was rocky and it took a while for a few of the characters to develop, but I always thought it was better than most and it has definitely been surprisingly consistent.

    Thanks.

    The last few episodes have really been hitting big in the laughs department.

    I will be so disappointed if it doesn't get picked up for another season.

    Tom H. asking Ben & Andy for help with baskeball was great.
