Love is in the air! If there was a theme to last night’s episodes, besides the powerful, stirring, emotional theme of “summer hiatus,” it was ROMANCE. And also TRIANGLES. Jack and Nancy and Avery! Andy and April and Anne! Liz and Wesley and Matt Damon! Jeff and Britta and Professor Slater and Annie! And, of course, The Office‘s suggestion that Holly would be back next season. OOOOOOH. Anyway, the shows were good! Community proved that it has had a very memorable first season. 30 Rock had some of the biggest laughs of the night. Parks and Recreation ended a tremendous season with an excellent episode. Goodbye until January, that show. You have to make room for the racist nightmare from the Land Before Time that is Outsourced. 2010! Foreign people speak funny! And The Office, for as much shit as I give it, because it really doesn’t make any sense anymore, and I just don’t understand what that show is supposed to be ABOUT, and to a large extent I think the characters have moved from humorously drawn caricatures of real life people to broadly cartoonish nonsense clowns who do things that no one would ever do ever, it is still a superb comedy that delivers tons of laughs and is better than 90% of television. So.
Goodbye, shows! Have a great summer! K.I.T.!
OK. So. Now what do we do? Guys? I didn’t draw these blinds and block out the light of day for nothing.

“They call it a Swanson!”
Hero.
His ringtone. HIS RINGTONE.
You que’d up this post last night and have been F5′ing all moring waiting for the Thursday night TV open thread. Don’t lie.
Well, I don’t start my new job till Monday so I have to do something to pass the time.
congrats on the job!
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m going to smoke drug cigarettes all summer.
I only smoke drug cigarettes when I’m gonna have a haunted house sex party

Like the philosopher in Plato’s Cave, Gabe emerges into the sunlight and is blinded by its brilliance. The he returns back inside to rescue us from the dullness that is summer reruns and the fall lineup.
With Entourage and True Blood coming up, I prefer to think of the summer as ‘Hate-Watching Season’.
With the constant Thursday deposit into your LOL(k), It’s a good time to add to your UGH(k), because a diverse portfolio is a healthy portfolio.
Don’t cry, there’s still Mad Men and Children’s Hospital to look forward to.
Also, I think Louie is supposed to finally start airing?!!
We never got to find out who was crowned Tranny Queen! What a bummer. Someone give me a giant cookie…
I hope it was Danielle Harmon.
I agree with everything you said about “The Office,” but also the scene at the beginning where Michael watched the otter video and moved from annoyed to endeared made me think, “Steve Carrell is a really good actor.” I know. This is a controversial opinion, you guys.
It is true. That was a really good moment.
Steve IS a really good actor, its just that he keeps playing buffoons and I think most ppl are totally over it.
Successfully play a lovable buffoon once, win a Golden Globe. Successfully play a lovable buffon for six years, shame on me?
He’s also never won an Emmy. And Jon Cryer has. Think about THAT for a moment.
On second thought, don’t think about that. It will make you want to kill yourself.
I thought that too. Great minds … (you fill in the rest).
twss
WUNDERBAR!
I’m going to miss Wesley.
Travel bother!
I like that now the government is shut down, Ann actually spends time in the hospital
Or that Leslie is actually hanging out there.
There’s always Mad Men in just a few more weeks!
Yeah, I was a little sad when I realized Allison Brie isn’t going to be in my eyes every week then I realized every 2 or 3 weeks on Mad Men isn’t so bad.
Upvote forever. Especially after all this “final season of Lost” hullaballoo, it makes me happy that Mad Men is such a good show. As in, REALLY good.
Laterz…
Its sad to see Parks & Rec go but on the (very small) plus side, this fall I can finally commit to never watching The Office again since 30 Rock will be moving to 8:30.
Matt Damon was actually very enjoyable on 30 Rock but I just find his story arc annoying. I mean, we all know he’s not going to be a permanent cast member so I just spend my time wondering how/why he’s going go go away. Same for Julianne Moore, I’m glad that one is dunzo if for nothing else, that accent.
Anybody else think that Julianne Moore and Elizabeth Banks are both just awful, awful love interests for Jack compared to Isabella Rossellini, Edie Falco, and Selma Hayek? Why did he have to choose between 12th place and 13th place? Love? I have a bunch of 30 Rock gripes today even though (because) it is my favorite show.
Also, I guess we can just assume Floyd is married now? Because that totally ruins all my Liz-Floyd hopes and dreams, but it makes my Liz-Floyd fanfic a whole lot spicier.
“He doesn’t need a woman who doesn’t wear underwear because Oprah said it was a good way to spice things up. He needs a woman who doesn’t wear underwear because she hasn’t done laundry in three weeks. ”
“I have a big penis and a drink a lot of tea.”
These will get me through the summer.
“I’m here to rap at you, in a rapping way…”
I can’t hear you….no one can hear you.
WOOF!
The best moment of the season. Team Ryan!
Jeb, you have a Woof on line 2.
I’ve been Woofed…
Unrelated. Just realized how much the Maroon 5 guy looks like Gabe. I’m not implying anything, but I mean have we ever seen them in the same room together?
You shows! You are my best friends! And I hope you get everything you want in life!
So, kiss my FACE! I’ll see you all in HEAVEN!
Have a WONDERFUL SUMMER!
I wonder if Elizabeth Banks is going to get typecast as the career woman who gets knocked up by the male lead?
Also: for those keeping wardrobe score — Ryan wore the faux eyeglasses, suspenders, bow tie and weird scoop-necked sweater. It seems like he has a new look each season, more so than any other character. Cannot wait for the 2010-2011 theme.
Orange watch too
we don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy, right? not even sometimes? okay, cool. and we definitely don’t cry at their finale episode? right.
I know I most certainly did not watch it with my mom AND cry more than her even though I didn’t know any of the characters…my mom is a robot.
90 percent, Gabe? That is so many percent.
I throughly enjoyed the “SPEAK!” joke.
whoops, sorry I butchered you, spelling.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
I’m making this my wallpaper. Of my entire house.
THANK YOU! I always wanted to see them all compiled in such a beautiful fashion.
I believe it was Starburns that said “We want Conan back!” I loved that.
Can I kiss Joel McHale too? All the ladies are doing it…
For your information, there was an episode of Happy Days where a guy LITERALLY jumped over a shark! And it was the best one EVER!

The Parks & Recreation fans will dig this:

Being a native of the state of Idaho, I can’t tell you how proud I was to hear it mentioned in Parks and Recreation last night. And yes, it is basically one giant park. Not a great one, though.
Is Steve Carell coming back next season? If not what is the point of Holly coming back, and indeed the whole show? Because Gabe and Jo and the whole of Scranton can never replace Agent Michael Scarn.
