    This article snuck it in at the end, but if I’m going to criticize SNL for their poor recent track record with adding African American cast members, I also have to give them credit for giving Jay Pharaoh a shot.

    Just like with the other three newbies, I have no idea if he’s going to be a non-factor or the best thing that ever happened to this show, but either way there should be a little more variety.

    Can someone please put this show out of it’s misery? The ratio of good stuff to crap is not worth keeping it on the air.

    I love love love Parks and Recreation! It is my favorite show on tv. The first season was ok but the 2nd season was awesome. Better than 30 Rock and The Office. Keep up the great writers and character development.

    I would like Ty Burrell, Ed O’Neill, Eric Stonestreet, heck, I’d like it if even baby Lily were to host SNL.

    I love Amy and Parks and Rec. Outsourced has to be cancelled immediately.

    I work at a library and we happen to love our work and people feel comfortable here.
    Things aren’t perfect all the time but overall friendly and caring people work there and its just expected that there is respect for where they are.
    Yes, it’s not a big city library but maybe things are the way they are because the people working there actually enjoy their job. And we don’t see people as something to look down on.

    Booooring… The season premiere should be a big “get” – Amy Poehler would have been better as a mid-season host.. Zzzzzz

    How can it be referred to as a 1 camera show, when all the scenes clearly have 2 cameras shooting. Hrmm…
