Started watching Parks and Recreation on Netflix... Pretty funny show.

Ron Swanson's quotes are hilarious.

His birthday episode is awesome, but my favorite is when the young girl interviews him for a school paper.

Rainn Wilson's Office Spinoff, The Farm, Not Picked Up by NBC

Don't quit your day job, Dwight (Rainn Wilson)!


NBC has decided not to go forward with The Farm, a spinoff of The Office centering on Wilson's character Dwight Schrute running a bed and breakfast inn.
Wilson broke the sad news to his fans on Twitter, saying, "Farm Update: NBC has passed on moving forward with The Farm TV show. Had a blast making the pilot - onwards & upwards!"

Still, viewers will get to at least take one trip to The Farm as NBC will air the pilot episode as a backdoor pilot during The Office's final season.


Roswell alum Majandra Delfino plays Dwight's sister Frannie in the episode, while CollegeHumor's Thomas Middleditch took on the role of his brother Jeb.


Way back in January, we chatted with Wilson about the possible spinoff. "We are talking about a Dwight spinoff. It could be really cool. It would be on his farm which would be a bed and breakfast and have a crazy menagerie of characters," he explained. "It would be even more far out than The Office. We're talking about it. It's a good idea. We're mulling it over."

I gave the White House show a chance. The awkward son is funny but overall it is a drama with comedy that isn't particularly adept at any of those things. I'll check back in a year or two if it has survived, which I strongly doubt. Then again, I never dreamed Parks would survive, and it wasn't nearly as funny early on (though far better). If they can focus on the Son, Daughter, Press Secretary and get competent people to write lines for the random characters (like the old man in the wheel chair) it could be a decent comedy.

Haven't watched this episode of The Office, but last week was pretty evident that they're just punching their ticket at this point. The bug bomb blowing up was the only comical part. The rest reverted to their old approach of "who needs laughs, let's just give viewers awkward tension & jam as many relationships into this thing as we can."

30 Rock is going out on a high note. It's sad to see it go, but refreshing when you see what The Office became before they hung it up.

Community is back Feb 7th, 8 pm on Thursdays :banger:

(a huge change from the initial Friday timeslot reported at this time last year, usually a death knell for series struggling with ratings).

the son is the only redeeming part of the white house show. some of the old crotchety senator's lines were funny. but otherwise, meh.
