Office has devolved into one of the worst shows on TV. Don't understand how people can defend it. It's gotten stupid and BEYOND unfunny.

I don't agree with your opinion on "The Office" this season. In fact, ever since the Michael Scott Paper Company arc from last season, it's kind of been on a roll. The episode before "Koi Pond," "The Lover," was in my opnion one of the best half-hours the show has ever done.

I was definitely on board with in regards to last season—especially in the middle episodes after Amy Ryan's departure—about the show's subpar performance, but I really do think that they're delivering again. Oh well.

Yes! I thought Pudi's Christian Bale was excellent, too. (I get this absurd sense of validation when I find I'm not the only one who thinks these things.) The contrast of Britta as a squirrel while Annie was a sexy skeleton was great.

The Office. Sigh. For me, the only remaining appeal is Jim and Pam's cuteness and sweetness. But, of course, they've now written Jim to be petty and mean. As soon as Pam becomes bitter (and she has been before), I'm outta there.

I agree! Community and Parks and Recreation were both hysterical last night. Community can be a little too "cute" for my liking sometimes but Pierce tripping and Abed as Batman totally made up for the more sappy moments.

As for Parks and Rec, it just keeps getting better and better. Louis C.K. is great on the show and a provides a great balance to Leslie's erratic behavior. I loved the scene with the two of them on the stakeout!

The Office? So painful I can't even watch it anymore.

30 Rock is usually my favorite but last night's episode felt a little off. I think it would have been funnier if Kenneth had gone with Jack and Liz to his home town and acted as their tour guide.
