King of Birds February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 Found out today through twitter, that the finale will air at 10pm on Tuesday. NBC doubled up the episodes, squashed the short final season, and now won't even play it at the 'regular' 8pm scheduled time slot. NBC truly is run by idiots. Oh, and Fuck You "The Voice."

pennben February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 NBC didn't know what they had. I don't agree with this. P&R, although I love it and it was a critical success, has never been a ratings success. It is doubtful it would have survived this long on another network with its ratings. Instead, because of ratings challenges at NBC, we have gotten seven seasons of this show. As for doubling up episodes, moving the finale time slot, the thing is that the fans of P&R at this late date are the fans of P&R who are going to watch whenever it is on. The move behind The Voice also likely means a ratings bump for the finale. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10677-parks-and-recreation-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-852438

VCRTracking February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 While I thought the finale was okay I think I felt more emotional seeing the cast reunion on Late Night with Seth Meyers. I have memories of the disastrous drunken post-Cheers finale on the Jay Leno Tonight Show so this was nice. Having them toast each other was just sweet. Didn't know Aubrey knew Aziz the longest and Nick(who looks Amish now) calling Adam cute. Adam was going to Mark Brandanowicz? Wow that would have changed the show! I don't know why it's surprising that they got everybody including Chris Pratt Even though he's as Jim O'Heir said a big movie star he's always loved being on the show. Also love that he wanted to have a Six Feet Under line saying Andy died because he was left locked in a car on a hot day. Him playing "1000 candles" with the cast and Mike Schur was the final great farewell for this wonderful, although Jim(Gerry) and Aubrey(April) making out will forever be burned into my brain!

VCRTracking April 5, 2015 Share April 5, 2015 http://popwrapped.com/news/79777/leslie-knope-ron-swanson-official-thought-indiana-religious-freedom-restoration-act/ As written by Mike Schur and related by Nick Offerman to an audience at Indiana University: “I’ve had a lot of people ask me how Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson would have felt about [The Religious Freedom Act]. I haven’t responded because the show is over and felt like the national discussion was coursing along at a fine speed. But then yesterday Ron Swanson texted me directly to ask for my thoughts, so now I have to answer, because he is Ron Fu***ing Swanson. I read one article that said confidently that both Leslie and Ron would have found things to like about the bill. To quote George F. Will, “This is nonsense on stilts.” Leslie Knope would have seen this bill for what it is, a carefully worded expertly constructed document that reminds gay, lesbian, and transgendered people that they are second class citizens. Leslie would have reminded us that recently as the late 1960s certain businesses tried shit like this, only they said God wanted only white people to eat in their restaurant. And she would have further reminded us that the Supreme Court had a good long laugh and told them to scram. Leslie would have said that while religious freedom is a basic and fundamental right, it is not more basic or more fundamental than the words “All men are created equal,” even though she would have then gone on a long rant about the use of the word men instead {Becomes unintelligible due to clapping]. And she might have also pointed out that religious freedom from government oppression is not the same thing as telling a gay couple you won’t bake them a cake to help them celebrate their desire to formalize their romantic love just because you get skeeved out by two dudes kissing. Then she would have told you to get over it for Christ sake, who you love is who you love, it’s 2015. She would have asked for people to recognize that every American citizen deserves respect. And that every citizen has to make small compromises in order to make room for everyone else. And finally Leslie would have asked that instead of passing bills that cloak basic intolerance in that nice sounding, but ultimately deceptive idea of religious freedom, maybe we should focus on passing laws that actually help people who, you know, have no food or jobs or something. Leslie would also be annoyed at herself for this final ad hominem attack on the bill we’re discussing, but she tend to get a little riled up and sometimes forgot her old debate club teachings. As for Ron, he would have hated the bill because it was a bill made by the government. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10677-parks-and-recreation-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-1003672
