GOOD MORNING BLOGTOWN. GOOD TO SEE BIZARRO POLITICS ARE STILL IN OPERATION: OBAMA TRYING TO CUT SPENDING WHILE THE GOP IS PAYING LIP SERVICE TO NOBODY BY "BANNING GOVERNMENT FUNDED ABORTION".

MAYBE THE CITY COUNCIL CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO TURN PORTLANDIA COMMENT THREADS INTO MONEY?

GOOD MORNING ALL. SINCE SARAH POSTED AN AMY POEHLER PHOTO, I'M ENTITLED TO HIJACK THIS THREAD FOR P&R PURPOSES:

I'M THRILLED IT'S BACK, AND THEY SET UP THE SEASON WELL, BUT IT WASN'T SUPER FUNNY, AND I HAVE A SINKING FEELING ALREADY THAT THE ZANINESS IS GOING TO BE DIALED DOWN IN FAVOR OF 19 STUPID RELATIONSHIP SUBPLOTS.

AGREED ABOUT P&R, TOO MANY FEELINGS.

AND... 30 ROCK WASN'T THAT FUNNY. THERE, I SAID IT.

@ JONESER: OF COURSE THEY ARE, BUT I WANT LOUIS CK BACK DAMMIT. I HATE THE "WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY" STUFF THOUGH. I JUST WANT CRAZY THINGS TO ACT ON THE CHARACTERS FROM OUTSIDE, THEY REACT CRAZILY, AND WE'RE DONE FOR THE WEEK.

I HATE WHEN THE WRITERS JUST SET EVERYONE AGAINST EACH OTHER. WHAT I LIKE(D) ABOUT THE SHOW IS THAT THE CONFLICTS WERE RIDICULOUS, NOT REAL/STRESSFUL/SERIOUS.

@ ALISON, I LOVED THAT ROB LOWE IS APPARENTLY SO HOT, ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS SAY ONE SENTENCE EXPLAINING HIS CHARACTER'S ZANINESS AND HE INSTANTLY (SUPPOSEDLY) BECAME A SERIOUS VIABLE LOVE INTEREST.

GOOD MORNING! I'M ON VACAAAAAATION!

AND ODDLY ENOUGH, OUTSOURCED WAS FUNNIER THAN 30 ROCK.

GOOD MORNING! LET'S REROUTE THE SANDY RIVER DOWN POWELL BLVD. AND HAVE COOL VENICE-STYLE AQUATIC BUSES RUNNING BETWEEN GRESHAM AND PORTLAND.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE PHOTOS OF AMY POEHLER ARE REAL. SHE LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME! OKAY, I BELIEVE THEY ARE REAL ACTUALLY BUT AM QUITE PERPLEXED.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST THING ABOUT P&R LAST NIGHT WAS THIS:

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY! WHAT UP?

I WISH I COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THIS CONVERSATION BUT I'VE YET TO GET TO MY TIVO'D NBC LINE-UP FROM LAST NIGHT!

THE LINE-UP, BY THE WAY, WHICH EXCLUDES THE OFFICE BECAUSE THAT SHOW TURNED REAL AWFUL REAL FAST. HAVEN'T WATCHED IT IN YEARS!

I HATE JIM AND PAM! ALWAYS HAVE! I'M STARTING TO DISLIKE TINA FEY'S CHARACTER! MOSTLY BECAUSE OF HOW SHE'S MEANT TO BE PERCEIVED! "EWW, I'M SO UGLY AND GROSS AND SEX CAN BE WEIRD!" NO TINA FEY'S CHARACTER, YOU'RE ACTUALLY VERY CUTE AND HUMAN! THE IMPLICATION YOU'RE UNATTRACTIVE DISCOUNTS TRUE UGLINESS!

I LOVE ROB LOWE! YOUNGBLOOD! CLASS! ABOUT LAST NIGHT! HE'S GOLD!

DONE SAYING THINGS I HATE AND LOVE! PROMISE!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

HAVEN'T KEPT UP WITH THE NEWS THIS MORNING BECAUSE THE SKY IS BLUE TODAY AND I'M EXCITED TO HAVE FRESHLY SQUEEZED GRAPEFRUIT JUICE VIA THE TREE OUT BACK.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!!

MY BRAIN POLICY IS TO WATCH WHOLE SEASONS OF SERIES I LIKE, IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, MARATHON STYLE!!! SO AM ALWAYS ONE SEASON BEHIND!!!

I EYES DROP EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT RARELY DO SO, AND IF THE SHOW IS GOOD I GET THE GUILTY FEELING OF SPOILING MY SOON TO BE DVD WATCHING MARATHON!!!

30 ROCK AND P.A.R ARE ALWAYS FUNNY, COME ON!!! OR ALWAYS HAND OUT A PIECE OF USABLE TV WISDOM!!!

@JONESER THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WATCHING NEWSIES TOO MANY TIMES AMIRITE?

YOU REALLY SAID IT ALL, UN-SPELLABLE STRING OF LETTERS! WAY TO SHOW US AND THE LIBERAL MEDIA ELITE! AS LESLIE KNOPE WOULD SAY, IT'S A REAL "BOYS CLUB" AROUND HERE. EXCEPT, THEY'RE NOT ALL BOYS AND ARE MOSTLY HILARIOUS. UNLIKE YOU, WHO IS KIND OF A DOUCHE. BUT I'M GLAD WE GOT THIS BACK ONTO TALKING ABOUT HOW HILARIOUS P&R IS.

@Fruit Cup. You stepped it that one.

Thanks Todd I appreciate the lower case. I'd be glad to MEME my MEME into FB's cup.

Thanks. I custom manufactured that just for you. x2

@JAx: Yes, after GMN has been posted for a full twelve hours it's acceptable to comment in mixed case.
