I’ll come right out and say it: season four of Parks and Rec is my favorite season. Mostly, this is from being a political-campaign-lover, and Leslie Knope’s city council campaign is the organizing principle for the season. It should not go without mentioning, however, that the addition of Kathryn Hahn as Jen Barkley and Paul […]
Brooklyn Nine Nine (FOX) After binge-watching this comedy series over the summer, I eagerly awaited the second season. It did not disappoint. The characters are zany without being obnoxious. The strong ensemble cast was only enhanced by some brilliant guest stars (including Kyra Sedgwick, perfectly cast as Captain Holt’s nemesis). There wasn’t an episode so […]
A cast of some of TV’s most wonderful people populates About Alex, the debut feature from Parenthood writer Jesse Zwick. A dramedy about college friends reunited by tragic, awkward circumstances, this ensemble dramedy dives into everything- listlessness, love (requited, unrequited, unspoken, overwrought), depression, anxiety, jealousy, pretension, ambition- only rarely losing its honesty and light touch.

Leslie’s pregnant! Congratulations Ben and Leslie! This is so exciting. Great, that’s out of the way. Parks and Rec has been going back to some classics this season and they’ve been great. First Greg Pikitis and now the Flu Season. Though this episode didn’t have much to do with the Flue. Larry’s in quarantine and […]
Why am I always so surprised when Parks and Rec is utterly perfect? This episode was simply hilarious. It’s prom time in Pawnee and one girl’s soul hangs in the balance. Actually, April’s soul is kind of in there too. Two girls’ lives will be changed forever at the prom! When Leslie finds out that […]
I just lost a little bit of respect for Leslie Knope. Riggins beats Saracen every time. Seriously. What is she thinking? This episode of Parks and Rec, “Galentine’s Day” was pretty hilarious and there was so much going on. We got a nice surprise when Ann made and appearance. Chris wasn’t around, though. He was […]
Ron has a son! And not even he can keep from baby talking to him. He can, though, impart some of his Swanson wisdom. Frustrated with government life and people getting into his business, Ron takes off with his son and finds an empty floor in city hall. He tells a construction crew that he’ll […]
Parks and Rec is back! And love is in the air, at least for Ben and Larry. When will Ben ever learn he can’t out gift Leslie? It was a noble try, Ben, but you’ll never win. She’s just too good. In order to beat Leslie at her own game, Ben enlists Larry’s help in […]
