Anyone been watching?

I think it's OK so far, though the comparisons to The Office are inevitable.  Aziz Ansari has been great so far.  Amy Poehler is pretty funny, though she's acting just like Michael Scott. 

The Guitar Hero scene with Ann's boyfriend last night (and his band name, "Just the Tip") was great.

I watched both eps and I'm done with it, Thursday's show was brutal.  Why do we need to see an unfunny Michael Scott impersonation.

They need a Jim to mess with the Ansari and Poehler characters. The city planner, mustachioed boss, and Rashida Jones are worthless.

Saw episode one.  The guy who reminds me of a terrist is great, but everything else is a blue light special of The Office.

I laughed a little at the first two. I'll keep watching.

The episode with the public meeting reminded me of a school board meeting.

Picked up for a second season.

I think the show has come into its own a bit the last few episodes.  I felt less like I was watching The Office and more like its own show.  The boyfriend with the broken legs is hilarious.

I like the show so far, too. I need more Ron. That guy rules.

Absolutely.

So, I've been exchanging emails with Ken Tremendous since, what, 2005? And he knows I live in Lafayette:

http://www.jconline.com/article/20090321/NEWS/903210325/1001

And my last name is Dwyer, like the cripple boyfriend, though I was never in a band called "Just the Tip."

Not that any of this is weird.

Still, the character doesn't have a severe amount of man love for Nick Lowe - or at least it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Multiply the man love that I have for Rashida Jones by 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000012, and you'd get the man love I have for Nick Lowe.

The show is so full of fail.  Terrible rip off of the office and should have been canceled already.
