Better Off Ted! -- nm - David Aug 11, 10:26 2
- It's getting pulled from netflix soon. :( -- nm - sycor Aug 11, 10:54 1
  - Between this and Futurama, Netflix is losing a lot of its value to me. -- nm - David Aug 11, 10:56
Parks and Rec without a doubt. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 10:07 13
- agreed. Season 1 is a little rough though, but after that it takes off -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 10:08 12
  - We quit after 4 episodes, it was that bad. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 10:11 11
    - i don't think i even made it that far, in the beginning. You really just skip Season 1. -- nm* - Andie Aug 11, 10:31
    - the Chris Pratt outtakes alone are worth a watch. Dude just burps and farts on everyone. Plus the Kim Kardasian line which slays everyone -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 10:24 3
      - My favourite description of April and Andy: "What if a dog married a cat?" -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 10:35 1
        
        that is bang on -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 10:37
      - The Comeback story (watch Ron and listen to Jerry) -- (link) - Beaker Aug 11, 10:25 [youtube]
    - Oh, you've got to go straight to S2E1 for P and R. That should be a given on ST by now Edit: Or you could try what Reagen sez -- nm* - con_carne Aug 11, 10:13
    - show runners admitted they fucked up. Soft reboot in ep 7. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 10:12
    - the first season is a mess of epic proportions. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 10:11 3
      - i wonder how quickly they realized the doofus they got rid of (Paul?) wasn't working out? - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 11, 10:14 1
        
        Paul wasn't even really the problem, it was the tone they took with Leslie - Reagen Aug 11, 10:18
      - Based on my experience, I agree. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 10:12
While I won't knock The Office, P&R really kind of resonated with me. -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 10:00
Third option? Both shows are pretty reaction take-dependent, which are visual and mostly silent -- nm - con_carne Aug 11, 10:00
i have to confess i don't love The Office. I would do P&R. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 09:57 6
- It took me a while to get into The Office because I loved the original so much. But I grew to really love it. -- nm - kelly Aug 11, 10:28
- Never liked the Office. Watched the first few episodes and it never stuck. I got into P&R on S2 or S3 and loved it. - Mop Aug 11, 09:58 4
  - And, I like everyone who was on The Office. Just not The Office itself. -- nm* - Andie Aug 11, 10:00 3
    - the Office was OK, but it was the whole town that made Parks and Rec.... - groiny Aug 11, 10:09 2
      - It was live-action Simpsons towards the end. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 10:09 1
        
        pretty much yup -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 10:10
