For all the crap that NBC and Ben Silverman get (deservedly so), the network has a bunch of sneaky, and, not-so-sneaky, good shows. You can safely add Southland and Parks and Recreation to the list. I wrote about both for the Observer this week, and I'm happy to report that both are definitely worth your DVR space.About Southland...
There is a care of craft to Southland that is rarely seen on television; with its on-location exteriors and handheld vérité camera work, the series looks and feels more like something suited for the big screen.Awesome, right? How about Parks and Recreation...
As The Office chugs along toward 100 episodes, the cast has become too predictable and too large, so we kinda like the small troupe of Parks and Recreation a little more.You can read the full articles, plus follow all the stuff I write for The New York Observer, right here. Or, just follow me on Twitter!
I thought this was way too much like the Office...Amy's character is exactly like Michael, no?
ReplyDeleteNo, I thought she was way smarter than Michael, way more mannered and didn't seem the type to say something wildly inappropriate.
