Tomorrow night, Thursday 1/20, NBC launches a 3-hour comedy block starting at 8pm. This would be kind of revolutionary if it wasn't really 2 hours of comedy (Community, The Office, Parks and Recreation,and 30 Rock) padded with 1 hour of garbage (Outsourced and Perfect Couples).
To be fair, I've never actually seen an episode of Perfect Couples...but it looks pretty fucking bad. I doubt I will be proven wrong.
Anyway, the real headline is that after being 'benched' for the fall, Parks and Recreation is back for a 3rd season! This show has developed into one of the best comedies on television, and the fact that it was left off the fall schedule is criminal.
If you haven't seen it before, Parks and Rec follows the adventures of a parks department government office, employing the pseudo documentary style of The Office. What makes the show work is a really strong all around ensemble cast.
9:30pm tomorrow on NBC. Set your DVRs.
