SPECIAL COMMENTARY: An Appreciation of "Parks and Recreation"

Parks and Recreation ends tonight after seven seasons and 125 episodes. The friendly folks of Pawnee, Indiana never found a mass audience but had a very loyal audience of people who adored the show - myself included. Parks and Recreation premiered in spring 2009 and was immediately dismissed by many (including me) as a less funny version of The Office . Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope seemed like an obvious ripoff of Michael Scott and the show couldn't really find its footing. After a short first season, it came back with a vengeance in season two and had a much better vision of the show it wanted to be. And it just got better from there. So what made Parks and Rec so great? Well, first and foremost was the sunny optimism of the show led by a truly great lead character in Leslie Knope. In today's sitcom world, most sitcoms are cynical, sarcastic, or even dark at times. Many of my favorite sitcoms including The Office and Modern Family fit into at least one of...

PILOT REVIEW: The Odd Couple

THE ODD COUPLE Starring: Matthew Perry, Thomas Lennon, Lindsay Sloane, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Wendell Pierce Based on the play by Neil Simon Developed for television by Matthew Perry, Danny Jacobson, and Joe Keenan Teleplay by Matthew Perry, Danny Jacobson, & Joe Keenan, Directed by Mark Cendrowski THE PREMISE: Well, everyone should know the premise of The Odd Couple . A reboot of the play, movie, and 1970s TV series of the same, the show centers on two roommates with very opposite personalities. Oscar Madison (Matthew Perry) is a complete slob while Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon) is about as neat and stuffy as they come. Rounding out the main cast is Oscar's assistant, Dani (Yvette Nicole Brown), Oscar's friend, Teddy (Wendell Pierce), and a neighbor, Emily (Lindsay Sloane). THE GOOD: The cast is likable. I said when Matthew Perry's Mr. Sunshine and Go On failed that he needed to have a live audience to work with it. Well, he has it here so maybe...

RENEWAL ALERT: Celebrity Apprentice

During the live Monday finale, Donald Trump announced that Celebrity Apprentice has been renewed for a 15th season. So far, there have been seven regular editions and seven celebrity editions. It was not official, but I'm reading between the lines that it'll be a celebrity edition because the regular one doesn't do nearly as well anymore. The show returned this season after a season off and the results have been quite positive with the show up from its last regular edition. I wouldn't be surprised to see it brought back in the exact same format next season (airing on Monday as a bridge between The Voice editions).

PILOT REVIEW: The Slap

THE SLAP Starring: Brian Cox, Melissa George, Lucas Hedges, Marin Ireland, Makenzie Leigh, Thandie Newton, Zachary Quinto, Thomas Sadoski, Peter Sarsgaard, Uma Thurman, Maria Tucci Based on the Australian series of the same name Developed for Television by Jon Robin Baitz Teleplay by Jon Robin Baitz, Directed by Lisa Cholodenko THE PREMISE: The Slap is a new limited series on NBC based on the novel and Australian series of the same name. The show centers on the specific incident of a man slapping another person's child and the way the dominoes fall and lives change based on one single incident. The large ensemble drama will seemingly focus on one person's story a week. This week was Hector (Peter Sarsgaard). THE GOOD: This show just wasn't for me so I don't have much to say. It wasn't terrible and the performances were fine. I feel like I write really short "good" sections when I hate the show completely. I didn't hate this, it ...
