    Tying this thread together: Will Arnett (I Canadian?) is married to Amy (Poehler? I married her!) of Parks & Rec.

    Even though the "zero performance experience" might not have been true in Tina's case, she's still kind of not that great of an actress. Writer, sure! I'm sure most people disagree, but I don't find her engaging onscreen at all. Her eyes are completely blank and her lines, while mostly funny, always seem a little flat in their delivery. At least she seems to be sharing more screen time with the other actors as the show progresses. Personally, I'm waiting for The Alec Baldwin Show, Starring Tracy Morgan.

    @PamBeesley: I was thinking the same thing. I think both Tina and Jerry aren't necessarily good actors (and are mostly playing themselves), but there's something about both performances that bring a lot to their shows.

    @TableNein: Not sure how it was that insidery that you couldn't laugh at it. There were enough general subject matter jokes to make it work. Funnier than the "Parks" and "Office" episode that preceded it. Although the "Office" had a great cringe/laugh think going with the "Scott's Tots". Kind of amazed they were able to milk some humor out of kids getting cheated out of a college education.

    @A Message To Rudy: There were some amusing moments, sure. But the overall quality of this season has been lacking. The unpredictability and wit of earlier years is gone and now it feels phoned in. Frank's caricature of Liz Lemon is on par with Liz Lemon's caricature of Liz Lemon. Oh look, ham!

    @A Message To Rudy:
    Parks and Rec has totally won me over, beginning with Amy Poehler ruling the Pawnee gay bar. The first season was the biggest disappointment of that TV year, but it's now a solidly amusing little show. The boss guy is always spot on, like with the breakfast buffet bit. And I really laughed when the overweight guy says he's always wanted Aziz Ansari's bod. Hm, maybe I just enjoy humor about men struggling with their weight.

    When I see Arnold speak in public, I just miss Phil Hartman more and more. The current Ahnold is a cross between his own self-parody and Hartman's Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

    RIP, Phil. Get a real job, Ahnold.

    In reply to Latest Critic of the The Jay Leno Show Experiment: Jay Leno
    Life was an excellent drama, but they cancelled it in favor of Jay's "show."

    It isn't that NBC is incapable of launching a decent drama; it's that they're incapable of recognizing and supporting the good stuff. As for Southland, I've never seen anything so insane as the way they handled that. That was stupider than the CW bringing back Seventh Heaven after it had ended.

    NBC, excepting two half-hours on Thursday, is dead to me. #jayleno
