Just some quick thoughts on last night's shows, as it is way too nice outside to sit inside blogging...
Community
The best episode so far this season. I love episodes that have all of the study group members at each others throats, and the lab partner scenario (and Abed's ranking system) led to some great exchanges. I also really liked Chang's psychotic detective noir b-story that existed only in his deranged mind (and at the end, the Dean's as well).
Grade - B+ -> A nice return to form for the series
Parks & Rec
Another really funny episode. Once again we got a pairing of Tom and Ben and it did not disappoint. Also, the collection of Leslie, Chis and Andy allowed for the return of Bert Macklin, FBI! He's back from the dead! Good to have him around again, because I love Andy's attempts to be super serious as he portrays his alter ego (the scene where he escorted Leslie from the hostile bookstore was good stuff). Lastly, I would really love to be able to pull off Ron's "wrong name" move in real life sometime....
Grade - A -> Good lord I love this show. I need to get my hands on a copy of that Pawnee book...
The Office
A MAJOR improvement over last week. I really like the dynamic between Andy and Darryl, so that helped this week. Also, while some of it was silly, I enjoyed a lot of the hi-jinx in the warehouse. I didn't realize how much I missed the warehouse on the show until this week.
Grade - B -> Let's hope next week does NOT follow this roller-coaster pattern of quality that has been established so far.
It's Always Sunny
"This may be the darkest thing we have ever done" - Dennis Reynolds. On a show that has set that BAR pretty high, a fake baby funeral, necessitated by Dee needing to get out of a tax audit caused by her claiming said baby, which she no longer has, may be at the top. While this episode was not as funny as the others this seas have been, it was still pretty good. So far this season, we have had episodes with a dead hooker, pedophiles and a fake baby funeral - what a great season!
Grade - B+
