A friend said to me recently after he learned I had never seen a single episode of a popular comedy show, "You write a blog about TV and have never seen Parks and Rec? That's like being a baker and never having tasted cake."
"You mean Parks and Recreation?" I asked.
"Whatever, yeah. Parks and Rec is what the cool kids call it."
So I've decided to make this show (8:30/7:30c on NBC) my must-watch for a few reasons. a)I want to be a cool kid. b)I'm not sure about his analogy, but I do like cake. c)I've seen every episode of Up All Night and I kind of feel like the other woman in Will Arnett's life. It's time I befriend his real-life wife, Amy Poehler. (Not sure where that leaves Christina Applegate.)
If you already watch this show, I'm about to join your ranks. If you don't, but watch it after reading this post, then decide you hate it more than the Parents Television Council hated The Playboy Club, I call no blamesies. I have no idea how good or bad this show is, but I'll have a better idea after tonight. I'm a little suspicious, though, because the same guy who I had this conversation with told me he really doesn't like New Girl. How can I trust a fool like that?
