Rewatching the first two seasons reminds me why I love this show.

Leslie: "I need your two best guys to join me and be part of my task force."
Eugene: "That would be Harris and Bret.... but they're not here."
Tom: "Isn't that them there?"
Eugene: "Nope."
Tom: "Hey, Bret!"
Bret: "Yeah?
Harris: "Dude!"

"By day, Andy Dwyer, Shoeshine-ist. By different time of day, Andy Radical, possum tackler. And by night... I can do whatever I want.. no job!"

So I watched the first few episodes (around 4-5) of S1 when it debuted but never really got into the show. I have heard that the following seasons are much better. Is this true or are they pretty much the same as the first few?

Seriously? Watch the second season. Then the third. Then realize that the first isn't that bad but the second and third are much better. Watch them! Now! Right now!

It's one of the most amazing turnarounds in TV ever. S1 was ok, I watched it for some people I liked but that was about it. S2 and 3's momentum have been insane, though.

So yes, it's true.
 
Haha if they can actually land Oprah that would be awesome! 1. She's a great actress. 2. I don't think they should make Tammy 2 a "bitch" like Tammy 1, they should go for a completely different character type.
 
- Press release for the upcoming Parks & Rec book
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. -- June 14, 2011 – NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products Group and Hyperion Books announced today that they will publish “Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America,” a book written from the perspective of show character Leslie Knope (portrayed by Emmy Award nominee Amy Poehler). Knope serves as Deputy Director of the Parks and Recreation department for Pawnee, Indiana on the hit NBC series “Parks and Recreation” (Thursdays, 8:30-9 p.m. ET).

The 240-page book, which includes illustrations, photographs, and other characters’ commentaries, will hit bookstores on October 4, 2011. Pottinger Nichols, the literary licensing agency for NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products Group, brokered the deal.

Each chapter will explore a different aspect of the fictional town’s history and expand upon events hinted at in the series, such as: the time the whole town was on fire, its long list of ridiculous town slogans, and the ongoing raccoon infestation. Knope, a resident of Pawnee since her childhood, provides all of the research and comical insights into this Midwestern town that fans have grown to love.

“If you like small towns with big ideas, this book is for you!” said Poehler. “And here’s hoping that Indianapolis will play Pawnee when they turn this book into a movie!”

“The ever-expanding town of Pawnee has become its own character in our show, and we're thrilled that we got to accelerate that expansion in one giant, goofy 240-page comedy book,” said Mike Schur, co-creator and executive producer of the series. “It's a complete portrait of Everytown, USA, which every reader -- whether a fan of the show or a newbie -- can enjoy."

"This book is such a fun read, you'll be smiling page after page. It’s a snapshot of small town, America filled with laugh-out-loud historical remembrances and local tributes,” said Kim Niemi, Senior Vice President, NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products Group. “Here's to Leslie Knope for capturing the spirit of Pawnee for readers everywhere.”

Of the deal, Hyperion Books editor Matt Inman said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be publishing ‘Pawnee,’ written by some of the most talented writers and actors working in television today. “Pawnee” is an absolutely hilarious look at one of America’s great small towns. Both ‘Parks and Recreation’ and Amy Poehler fans will love it.”

“Parks and Recreation” returns to NBC for its fourth season this fall on Thursdays (8:30-9 p.m. ET).

Anyway, as I somehow posted in the Community thread, I'm rewatching the first two seasons and I don't get the hate for Season 1. It's not that bad. But whatever.

I'm on "The Practice Date" now and I have one question.... where the hell has Duke Silver been? Season 4 needs a return of the Duke.

It's not bad..it's just boring. But who cares considering how fucking awesome the show has become.

Never watched Oprah but It certainly would bring well deserved attention to the show. But isn't she a bit unattractive for a Swanson wife?

Does the dvd box art really need to advertise "THURSDAYS [on] NBC"?

That said, it looks like there will be some neat special features.
It's going to be on shelves in Best Buy and Wal-mart and Target. Sadly, that's how some people will learn the show is returning then.

Loser slave of the system :(
It's such a relief not having to wait until January. The amount of shows starting this month (or have started in Louie's case) should make the wait until September so much easier.
 
Leslie/Ben is perhaps the most perfectly developed romantic couple ever on tv. Just exquisite writing (and acting, their chemistry is mesmerizing). I hope they can keep the momentum going in season 4.

Only 2 1/2 months away! Sigh.

Ugh, that feels so far! Though I guess next month is August, so it's not that bad. Sorta.

I love Leslie/Ben, one of my favorite tv couples ever. :)

If you're looking for some Amy Poehler awesomeness to tide you over until the show comes back, I suggest searching 'ASSSSCAT' on Netflix and watching what comes up. Good times.

If you guys haven't watched "Children's Hospital" on Adult Swim; I suggest watching it. It's hilarious.
I keep meaning to check it out. It reminds me of Strangers With Candy.
