Wow. I'm loving this. On a free Prime trial so we're trying to get through as much as we can.

I loved American Office and as it took a few episodes to get into this I found myself comparing it. Now I'm really into it and think it stands by itself. I love all the characters and their funny little working lives. And now Rob Lowe has turned up it's got even better. But I love love Lesley, she's amazing.

We spent 4 hours bingeing yesterday and still haven't got through S3 so I don't fancy our chances of finishing it before our trial is up!

Any other fans?

One of my favourites - wait until L’il Sebastian appears Grin

ThunderPython · 16/03/2020 13:55

I love it! First series was the weakest I'd say, but once the cast/writers got to know the characters they really do become so engaging.

I think Andy and Ron are my all time favourites and Andy and Ron together, sheer brilliance!

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 16/03/2020 14:27

Yes, we saw L'ill Sebastian last night! I'm hoping at some point Lesley gets one over on that talk show host lady!

And agree Ron and Andy are just brilliant!

Poor Gerry though!

It’s brilliant!!
I love Gerry 😂

daffodilrosedaisy · 16/03/2020 14:31

Best show ever!! I miss watching it, me and my uni friends spent the whole of third year chilling in their lounge watching every episode. Enjoy!!

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 16/03/2020 14:35

I know it's a few years old but hasn't Amy Pohler (sp?) got incredible skin!!

Love Rashida Jones as Karen in TAO but I'm not warming to her in this and find myself asking "why is she allowed to just wander in?" out loud every episode.

I really love Tommy Timberlake too!

It's been my Cv19 escape this weekend although there's been a few cracks about flu apocalypses in the last few episodes which have made DH and I ConfusedConfused!

I love Gerry I prefer Gary.

Parks and rec is superb. Ron Swanson is my God.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 16/03/2020 14:36

Are there really 7 seasons?!!!!

Picked an episode to watch at random with DH ..... it was the whole-town-lockdown-avian-flu episode.
Nice.
We were jammed.

MadisonAvenue · 16/03/2020 15:03

I love Gerry
I prefer Gary.

Larry was pretty good too

ILikeyourHairyHands · 16/03/2020 15:11

Ron is my all-time hero.

Jean-Ralphio and Tom's business ventures are always utterly hilarious.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 16/03/2020 15:25

I love how he thinks he's a total sex god too Grin Tom, that is. Because clearly Ron is actually a sex god.

I've not seen the flu lock down one yet, sounds comically too close to home!

I love this, we are on our 3rd watch. Ron Swanson is great.

HaddawayAndShite · 16/03/2020 15:49

We’re currently on our 3rd rewatch too currently on Season 4.

Poor, Sad, Gerry! Grin I read a “fact” that the crew hated being so mean to Jim O’Heir even in character they gave him the perfect family and home life to try make up for it. That’s why the doctor says Gerry has the biggest penis he’s ever seen too! Grin

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 16/03/2020 15:54

It is the ultimate in comfort TV, I love it when I'm ill.
One of my favourite clips for you all...

Doingtheboxerbeat · 20/03/2020 22:33

My all-time favourite clip is anything with Jean Ralphio in, but when he has that 2 minute interview with the accountants it was just so wet yourself delightful.

Doingtheboxerbeat · 20/03/2020 22:38

Last Sunday I was sitting on my first ever brand new fitted carpet, in my newly decorated living room putting my new corner sofa together and must have binged watched about 6 episodes. I was the happiest I had been in a very long time Smile.

AccioCake · 20/03/2020 22:44

Yes we love it. I watched it all years ago and loved it but DP wasn't interested in joining me. I recently convinced him to give P&R a go after we binged The Office US and we've all been hooked since. We have one last episode to watch! No idea what we're going to watch next.

ladybirdsarelovely33 · 20/03/2020 22:46

Jean- Ralphio - yes Grin

peachgreen · 20/03/2020 22:53

Yes. It's the absolute best. I might suggest a second rewatch to DH (my fourth 😂).

ladybirdsarelovely33 · 20/03/2020 23:04

The Pit
We all fell into the Pit

Vargas · 20/03/2020 23:07

I love Anne, and Ron, and Ron's ex-wife, and Rob Lowe, and of course, Lesley. Not my DH's cup of tea, but I love it. Might watch again...

Doingtheboxerbeat · 24/03/2020 19:08

I watched this back in the day with my ex for bedtime (when we finished dtd) and there was a large gap between the 6th and final season and I had naturally found other stuff to watch.
BUT I have rediscovered it and today I watched the last 2 episodes and I am bawling like an idiot , remembering how wonderful all the characters were and how much we need more Leslie Knopes in the world.
It's no accident that the creator is the same person who brought us The Good Place.

GrimDamnFanjo · 28/03/2020 01:35

Have you seen the political rally in the ice rink episode yet?
I wept laughing at that scene. Just superb.

Thisisworsethananticpated · 29/03/2020 16:11

So happy ! Might re watch with Ds
