hopefully it will pick up and get better, big fan of Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones so I hope it does well, just not off to a good start

I agree. NBC is just trying to ride the popularity of the office. Not going to happen.

MarkJ801 · 04-10-2009, 02:39 AM

It has potential, some parts were really funny. I love Poehler, so I hope it gets better.

WyldeMan45 · 04-10-2009, 03:03 AM

It's not on for another half hour for me, but it's really bad?? That's a shame I've been looking forward to this for months now.......

I was looking forward to this as well but it is basically an exact copy of "The Office" in the style it's filmed and how the characters react. That said, I thought it was okay, I really like Amy Poelher but overall the show just didn't have tons of laughs and when you compare it to The Office, it just can't hold up.

I will tune in next week to see if there is any improvment but if not, goodbye

I almost always give shows 3 episodes to make up my mind, but with the way things are going all new shows get canned after 3 episodes lol, so I tend not to make up my mind until after a full season because I don't want to enjoy anything. 5 primetime shows will be gone by fall anyways, and those 10 listed are pretty much everything that is already done for because of god damn Leno!

I watched it earlier tonight, and hmmm, I'll give it a few more shakes. I was more interested in Southland that came on later. I think the only reason I will see Parks and Recreation is because I'll be waiting for Southland to come on.

It looks like a knock off of the office, but without anyone funny...Only funny thing is they tried to boost ratings by shoving an Office lookalike between two bad episodes of The Office.

Terrible show. I hope it gets cut before next week.

ThePhantomOak · 04-10-2009, 05:50 AM

Oh and SouthLAnd is a HORRIBLE show also.

Depicting a police department as a group of the dumbest retards alive in a non-stop dead people ride.

What a wasted night.

That was my exact feeling of the show, I just got done watching it, wow.......major bummer.

nbxfan · 04-10-2009, 05:56 AM

Turned it off after just a few minutes. Can't stand her which doesn't help but, it was just plain bad.

proxpilot · 04-10-2009, 10:56 AM

i forgot all about it, have to check it out on Hulu

Monolithium · 04-10-2009, 11:27 AM

I didn't even make it to the first commercial break.

mpstjohn · 04-10-2009, 12:47 PM

Not horrible. More consistent than Kath & Kim (where only John Michael Higgins was funny), which it was replacing (I believe), but easily the least funny of the three comedies airing on NBC.

Glad I missed that in favor of Krod: Flaming Sword of Fire on Comedy Central. Matt Lucas was great as the villain.

From the commercials, Southland looked like a cop show on the CW.

VinnAY · 04-10-2009, 12:51 PM

I missed it this week so I'll Hulu it and see what's up...I think Poehler is awesome so I def wanted to give it a shot.

fatediesel · 04-10-2009, 12:55 PM

I thought it had some potential, and wasn't horrible. I thought it was 10x better than Kath and Kim, and with it's writers and cast it definitely could get better. I think it needs to get it's own identity, because it was too much of a copy of The Office, but I haven't made my mind up yet. I'll keep watching it, in large part because there's nothing else I'd watch on Thursdays at 7:30.

jaydoc24 · 04-10-2009, 01:27 PM

Yeah, I was looking forward to this as well, but was not too impressed.

Rashida Jones is how you say...delicious!

I chuckled a few times, but The Office is much better.

Teabaggins · 04-10-2009, 01:44 PM

I'll watch it a few more times before passing judgment. I like the dude from Human Giant

I agree--the Office wasn't that great at first either.
