Very nice! When can I review the "Commissario Montalbano" series here?

Hi Joneser! I am loving this season of Parks and Rec so far. The writers are bouncing different characters off each other and giving the show some nice variation. And yeah, they're totally withholding the inevitable Ben/Leslie confrontation.

One thing that annoys me; Ben was never a "nerd" before this season. I feel like they had to give him more character since him and Leslie broke up, but it's annoying when he's moping around in a Batman costume.

I am slowly watching Parks & Recreation, b/c I want it to last...so I can't comment on the latest episode.

However, I just made it through Season 3, Episode 15 where Chris makes some improvements to the department. I am literally beside myself with the vision of Ron in a circular desk. Although, I guess I'm not actually literally beside myself. I do literally love Ron Swanson, though.

Shiiiiiit, I better get back to work.

CONGRATULATIONS NORA! YOU'VE BROKEN THE BARRIER AND NOW HAVE PUBLISH RIGHTS!

I CAN'T WAIT TILL THIS GETS PUT ON THE NETFLIX, BECAUSE CABLE IS FOR SUCKERS.

I'VE BEEN THINKING A LOT ABOUT RON SWANSON'S MOUSTACHE AND RON BURGANDY'S MOUSTACHE AND WALTER WHITE'S MOUSTACHE. I THINK THE MOUSTACHE IS ABOUT TO RREALLY RE-ENTER THE PUBLIC ARENA AS A SERIOUS THING.

Hey Jacob,

I think Ben was a bit of a nerd earlier -- they set that up a wee bit with him and Tom, I think. There were a series of Star Wars insults and whatnot when he first showed up. His character has wandered a wee bit, though. As for his current behavior, I'm still trailing, so... Lord, I still need to get back to work.

That is all.

I L O-L'd at Ron's pre-emptive "I know more than you!" snap at the Lowe's guy.

I'm just saying that, generally speaking, guys who hang out around the house in Batman costumes don't dress as awesomely well as Ben does.

But hey, maybe they're blowing up nerd stereotypes, instead of throwing them to the wolves like the reprehensible Big Bang Theory.

@JONESER,NORA,ELINOR: I'M SO CONFUSED ANYMORE.

Joneser-
I agree with your points on the show (and most things, generally), and will also gladly do the dishes.

And I do think they've dialed up Ben's nerdiness (to the point of calling it out explicitly).

We've been watching this on Hulu, and I laughed so fricking hard when Ron was handed their "home repair kit." I hope those two get together!
