PARKS & RECREATION and the Mural of Shame

I have neglected my duties to the public servants of Pawnee and the loyal readers of GMMR. My day job has been as painful as the large mass in Ron Swanson’s foot lately, so I have been woefully short on time. Though I do not have access to a decent shoe shine vendor, [...]

The TV Talk Podcast: Vampire Diaries, Glee,The Office & SO Much More

It’s been 7 weeks since our last podcast and 7 weeks since we last saw each other. You totally thought GMMR and Ducky had called it quits didn’t you? How dare you…

PARKS & RECREATION: Beauty Pageant

PARKS & RECREATION: Pawnee Zoo

Though its sophomore campaign launched with considerably less fanfare than Jay Leno’s new 10pm experiment, the creative forces behind Parks & Recreation scored a huge win last night. In a time slot surrounded by comedic heavyweights, the Pawnee crew produced the funniest half hour of NBC’s Thursday premiere lineup.
During its abbreviated run last Spring, [...]
