Some quick thoughts on my NBC shows...

firthgalI hate that I am ALWAYS scheduled to work on Thursday nights. Like, they'll give me a half day and make it at night, and I am convinced that it is just the world's way of torturing me. Because tomorrow? Tomorrow I get off at 6:00pm. WHY COULDN'T THAT BE TODAY'S SCHEDULE? AUGH. At least I got home in time to see The Office, 30 Rock, and Parks & Rec. Next week I won't make it home in time for any of those. *cries*
Anyway, my reactions (which I will try to keep short, because I should be in bed right now):
1. Community - I was really enjoying it until that last scene. Blah. But, upon rewatch, I actually found the episode to be pretty amazing. ESPECIALLY THE BATHROOM SCENE. DID YOU SEE HIS FACE? DID YOU SEE IT? Also, Shirley and Andre are so, so beautiful together and Andre made me tear up and please tell me that they will last this time! Because seriously, that last shot of Andre smiling at Shirley. ♥ Also, this happened:
Oh yes. Britta/Pierce, IT'LL BE CANON ONE DAY. MARK MY WORDS.
2. The Office was super hilarious. And I've fallen even more in love with Michael/Erin, if that's possible.
I love Erin so much for hating Michael/Holly, I can't even... THANK YOU, ERIN, FOR SEEING HOW WRONG THEY ARE FOR EACH OTHER. I know that fandom completely disagrees with me, but this episode reminded me of why I find Michael/Holly so unbearable. The ET bit was especially difficult. But, you know, I am also like Erin in that I want Michael to be happy, and if Holly loving him is what can make that happen, then yay! But that still doesn't mean that I approve of it (nor does Erin, for that matter!). Oh god, I'm sorry, but Michael and Erin are so damn adorable. I love how they've got their own little intimate relationship going on, and it's simply amazing that they've gone from Michael despising her for not being Pam to Michael adoring her for being Erin in such a short span of time. Their love is genuine and sweet and one of the most beautiful things to come out of this show. I am going to be majorly depressed when Michael leaves, simply because that means that my new favorite relationship on this show will come to an end. AND IT WILL BE HEARTBREAKING. Hopefully Erin/Gabe will still be going strong, though. OMG, how do I even find them adorable when Gabe dorkishly fails to intercept a frisby from her and she gets seriously angry at him? Oh, them. I love them. Other thems that I love? DWIGHT/ANDY/DARRYL.NOT PICKING UP LADIES IN THE BOOKSTORE.
3. Parks & Rec! IT'S BACK! FINALLY! OMG, how I have missed this show. And it came back to us with an absolutely flawless episode. Andy/April!!!!!! RON! And, okay, I know I've said this before, but good lord is Rob Lowe dreamy. So, so dreamy. SO dreamy. I know that the show added him to its roster mostly for shallow reasons, BUT I DON'T CARE. HE'S BEAUTIFUL AND HE MAKES ME HAPPY. Technically, I thought this show was fine without having any eye candy, but I have to admit, the eye candy does make it just a touch more enjoyable. I still am not too fond of Ben, though. I think I am rejecting him because the show is making him such a blatant love interest for Leslie that I'm just like, "Blech." Which is weird, because I was never like that with Dave (I adored Dave so very much).
4. 30 Rock - LOVE! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I really enjoyed this ep. Everyone was utterly hilarious, and the Jack/Liz UST vibes were back in full force. It was wonderful.
