PARKS AND RECREATION: Jim O’Heir on Larry’s Responsibility, His Bromance with Ben, and the Season Finale

PARKS AND RECREATION’s Garry/Jerry/Larry is often the butt of many jokes (some of which is his own doing, to be fair), but in recent episodes, he’s had moments to shine-ish: when Leslie was MIA during Ben’s surprise early anniversary plans, Larry went along for the (literal) ride, and took her spot in many of the outings; and then when Leslie needed to delegate, she let Larry be responsible for the new Pawnee/Eagleton slogan. (He then, unfortunately, didn’t catch the winning slogan’s misspellings and put the sign with the slogan on it facing the wrong way.)

Before this week’s PaleyFest panel honoring PARKS AND RECREATION, I spoke with Jim O’Heir about Larry’s taste of responsibility, his bromance with Ben (which continues in tonight’s brand new episode), the season finale, and more…

PARKS AND RECREATION Books First Lady Michelle Obama for a Cameo

First Lady Michelle Obama will appear in the PARKS AND RECREATION season finale, NBC announced.

According to the network, “Mrs. Obama’s scene in the episode titled ‘Moving Up’ was filmed in late February in Miami where she celebrated investments in healthier out-of-school programs as part of her ‘Let’s Move’ initiative dedicated to solving the challenge of childhood obesity.”

I mean…can you imagine how Leslie Knope is going to react?!

‘We Have Thoughts’ Vodcast: Danielle and Marisa Grade Three Comedies

We’ve reached around the midway point for the season, so my friend/vodcast partner Danielle Turchiano (from Made Possible By Pop Culture) and I decided it was time to grade how a few of the comedies we watch are handling their current seasons.

So what grades did we give HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, PARKS AND RECREATION, and RAISING HOPE? Take a look…

Top 13 TV Shows of 2013

As I said in my top television episodes post, there is a lot of great television on right now. And what hit me as I was compiling this list was that an incredible amount of newbies came out of the gate amazing — in fact, the differences in my list from last year to this year is a bit unreal.

Before we get to the list, the normal disclaimer: I may watch an unholy amount of television (it was probably close to 100 series this year), but I don’t watch everything. Which means, I’m still behind on JUSTIFIED, THE GOOD WIFE, ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, and I still haven’t brought myself to watch GAME OF THRONES. It’s possible if they were in the mix, my list would look different. But for now, until we can invent a time-pausing machine, we’ll work with what I can watch.

These are my top shows of 2013…

Okay, I’ve had my say, now it’s your turn: is there a show you think should be on the list? Is there a show you think is too high/low ranked?

Top 13 TV Episodes of 2013

It’s no secret I watch a lot of TV. Heck, I watch more TV than I should probably ever admit. But there is a lot, lot, lot of good stuff on television — and now, increasingly, through other mediums like Netflix, Amazon, etc. It’s a good time to love quality programming.

As we approach the end of the year, I wanted to note a few of the shows that stood out to me over the past 12 months. First up, we have the top episodes. For me, they were the most enjoyable as a television fan. You may agree with some, all, or none. You may be like me and have your top episodes change 20 times. (Only a slight exaggeration, but I easily could have singled out 25 great episodes this season. Or 50.)

So, these are the 13 hours of television that stuck out to me the most this past year, in alphabetical order of series…

(And yes, I’ll have a top shows post coming up shortly.)

PARKS AND RECREATION: Michael Schur and Adam Scott on Leslie’s Potential Recall

PARKS AND RECREATION is finally back on our televisions tonight (look, any hiatus is too long in my book), and we’re getting rewarded with back-to-back episodes.

And since the comedy has been off the air for a few weeks, that also means the show is just getting around to celebrating Halloween. Whoops? Unfortunately for our Pawnee favorites, the holiday also brings the potential Knope recall, so…you’re not going to want to miss what the show has in store.

Recently, PARKS AND REC boss Michael Schur and series star Adam Scott (Ben) gave reporters a little tease of what to expect…

PARKS AND RECREATION: Aziz Ansari and Retta Talk Tatiana Maslany’s Guest Spot

PARKS AND RECREATION has always had its share of awesome guest stars, and the show managed to continue the streak by nabbing one of the hottest breakout actresses of the moment in ORPHAN BLACK star Tatiana Maslany.

Maslany begins her two episode guest arc in tonight’s brand new episode, so Aziz Ansari (Tom) and Retta (Donna) took some time during this week’s 100th episode celebration to talk to reporters about Maslany appearing on the show…
