Oh, and I wonder how many people on the show are Mormons. Only because I've heard that many Mormons think that you should have a year's worth of food/supplies and that Glenn Beck has been pushing this idea. And the only extreme couponer that I know happens to be Mormon, but she had the coupons before she had the Morminity.

Maybe this is an unknown method of recruitment.  You get a coupon mailer for one free, saved soul, and well, who's going to pass that up, right?

Oh how I laughed at that.

Maybe it's just one night on NBC, but Community and Parks and Recreation are awesome.  Those are middlebrow I think.

Community is terrific.  Daughter 2 loves P&R.

Anybody watch Louie or Wilfred?

I saw the first few episodes of Wilfred and was actually shocked at how good it was. It's a remake of an aussie show (starring the same guy as Wilfred) and I was sure they'd ruin it but it's really pretty good. Completely different tone to the original, but that's a good thing.

Community is obviously beyond reproach, I've never been able to watch a full episode of parks and rec. The average quirkiness per character is too high on that show, Community characters are slightly less quirky so I can enjoy them.

Louie is so good it hurts. I'm pretty sure Louis C.K. wasn't always this funny. I wonder what happened.

What?? We have very opposite impressions of these two shows. I couldn't handle watching a full episode of Community because of how annoying I found the characters.

Perversely I think I like the community characters more because they're obviously stereotypes. The combination of faux documentary style and the down-to-earth but eccentric characters in P&R makes their weirdness that much harder for me to enjoy, whereas in Community everyone is a weird caricature in a weird caricature universe.
While we're getting things out in the open I'm not huge on the Office for pretty much the same reason.

I used to dig it, and still watch it (mainly because it is on next to community and parks and rec), but that show hasn't been good in a few years at least.  It's first year was pretty bad too.  Years 2-4or5 are pretty darn good, though I get why you don't like it.

I would watch the Office, but I really hate to turn on the television.

This.  The first one I ever saw was the one where he takes his daughters to visit his great-aunt.  I was shocked (Shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED!) by how good it was.

Oh yeah.  I haven't even seen Louis, but I'll believe it's so good.

I have seen a bit of Season 1 on Netflix streaming. It's not at the top of my list -- I'm not a sitcommy person, generally -- but I enjoyed what I saw of it. Will probably watch later if I run out of Star Trek. I enjoy his stand-up, though. It speaks to me on a visceral level. He says out loud all those things a parent thinks but is afraid to admit.

Louie is the best drama about comedy ever. His stand-up is riotous but his show is deeply introspective and often difficult. I can't get enough.

Community is a sitcom about sitcoms, manipulating and parodying the tropes other shows simply utilize, while honoring the best examples of the form (and becoming one at the same time). I think Dan Harmon is probably a genius, evidenced mainly by casting Don Glover and Danny Pudi. Those two are great together.

If anybody ain't watching Archer, you're missing out. FX shows [adult swim] what they could be doing if they didn't waste every night with reruns of ***** Chicken and Family Guy.
