Wooop Community!
I guess Parks fits better as a lead-in to The Office than The Office does as a lead-in to Parks.
I hope NBC is aware that Do No Harm fell 22% from its already low-rated premiere and that they can finally cancel it. Its ratings make “The Mob Doctor” look like a blockbuster.
Pull Go On until the voice returns. Put The New Normal on after the Office and put smash at ten. Air Hannibal versus Vegas and The Dana Delaney show.
Wow, let’s hope it stays this way!
Parks and Recreation Season 6 seems a given!!
Yay go Parks! I didn’t think much of Community’s premier… was a little disappointed with it. I think it did well because of The Hunger Games parody… Time will tell.
No mention of 1600..haha
It wasn’t even a very good episode of Community, very average. Hopefully the ratings stay up, though, at least until it wraps up this spring.
I was so disappointed with Community, maybe because I had to wait so long and my hopes were so high.
WOO HOO!
