   I like The Office. I hate Parks & Recreation, Portlandia, and thirty rock

     @sun What differentiates them? The writing? The setting and influences?

     @vii they seem to have the same irony audience but the office just hits every time and the other ones seem fart-huffing

     @sun I never watched 30 Rock; Tina Fey always bugged me in acting roles. I've watched a few episodes of the Office and of Parks and Rec and... I guess if I were stuck in a hotel room waiting for something for an hour I'd watch them but I have been so disconnected from TV for so long at this point.

     @sun That said I'd still binge Burn Notice, so it's not like I'm on that high-class visual arts.

     @vii @sun Tina Fey is annoying, but Alec Baldwin is delightful.

     @vii @sun The office is well written and well made (up to a point** ). Afaict two and a half men is old school brain rot.
