The Leslie/Ben plot completely bored me. I really don’t care about them at all as a couple.
Tom’s was brilliant as usual. Jerry’s takedown was so heartbreaking.
I so want Ron to land that hot women’s studies teacher - “If I didn’t know she was so against marriage I think I would propose right away.” – And, heck, why not the guitar teacher as well, the one who “would look great as a brunette.”
“Andy Dwyer is taking women’s lasers!”
Sending Andy to college seems kind of cruel. The guys borderline retarded, there’s no way he’s going to get much out of it or do particularly well.
I liked the Andy subplot. “He’s not even using a LASER POINTER!” I’m not actively rooting against him, either.
I like Tom better when he’s a bit less cartoony. Turning the rec centre into an Apple Store? Really?
So, where is the real world’s smallest park?
I liked how Leslie knew everyone’s name at the town meeting and the protest. Seems like the kinda detail she’d be all over.
The smallest park in the country is somewhere in Oregon (no cite, but it was mentioned in a Sepinwall interview w/ one of the show’s producers).
Does anyone know who played the Woman’s Studies teacher and the Guitar instructor? Umm…My friend wants to know.
Possibly the best exit in TV history by Andy:
“Guess what guys, I was secretly an undercover rock star the whole time.”
Second best…the best came two seconds later, “You would make a stunning brunette. Ron Swanson.”
It’s in Portland, Oregon. I think it’s the world’s smallest, not just the country’s.
This seems like an easy record to break.
Andy’s college quest was good in this episode, the laser stuff and Ron were shining. But I’m getting tired of Leslie and Ben’s melodrama. Time to get that over with.
Mill’s End Park. Keeping Portland weird in its own tiny way.
Wow that’s small. (no that’s what she said jokes, plz)
I’m not really sure what makes that a “park” rather than just a plant contained by a slab of concrete. Seems like they’re just getting silly with semantics.
The whole, ‘Jerry’s a good guy, but nobody respects him for no reason at all’ subplot is gold.
I loved when he had his awesome collage mural idea where he misspoke and said murinal and everyone laughed at him. Plus, “I repeat, the largest penis I have ever seen”
Anyway, glad to see the end of the ‘will they/won’t they’ plot with Leslie and Ben.
They need to do something with Ann. She’s superfluous right now. All she is is a sounding board for Leslie and she can use anyone for that. When they added Adam Scott and Rob Lowe, they should have trimmed two characters, I’d nominate Ann and Donna. (Donna’s pretty cool, but also not given much to do).
