the suits don't care that it's funny, only that it's not bringing in the advert revenue they want.

No, that's not...he meant...

...nevermind.

I know that's being implied he said. That would be giving Charlie the credit of being clever. He's more of a blunt instrument.

I'm not sure I would consider it "clever" so much as a throwaway joke acknowledging that a lot of us watch HBO.

Also, I've never been happier to be wrong.

Parks & Rec gets 24 glorious full episodes and it's not its final season

So, from what I know now:

- 30 Rock is getting 13 episodes, and they're going to make it their final season to wrap it up.
- Community is getting 13 episodes, and they're going to potentially try to parlay it into a full fourth season at least.
- Parks and Rec is getting a full 24 episode season order.

Actually i preferred 16 myself... the longer seasons seem to suffer a bit on the humour in the middle...just make more seasons instead...

I said this in another thread, but after watching the season finale, I would have been perfectly happy if they ended the show on that episode.

@Li3n · May 15, 2012

Y'all know that that's exactly how they'll end the show anyway...
