The actual Awesome Album — out 8/27 — seems to be a compendium of a lot of the fake songs performed on or alluded to on Parks And Recreation over its 7 seasons, many of which have already circulated online. It includes appearances from Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman)’s saxophone-slinging alter ego Duke Silver and the band Land Ho!, fronted by Scott Tanner, aka real-life musician Jeff Tweedy.

Not that it needs to be said, but M*A*S*H still holds up. One of, if not the greatest sitcoms of all time. Motoring right through it on Disney+.
They kind of painted themselves into a corner with the timeline, though. I'm at mid-season 5 and they are already in September of 1952. 6 more seasons to cover 10 months of the war.

Mash does hold up really well, though I will say that the earlier years were just better in terms of character chemistry. I always through the pairing of Trapper John and Hawkeye was better then BJ and Hawkeye. I thought that Blake was more fun then Potter. And I found it easier to be kind of sympathetic to Burns over Winchester.

Agreed with the exception of Potter. I like the old school army vibe he brought into the role and it offered a different feel.

Half done, it's very watchable but I wouldn't say it's great.
Kinda doing the silicon valley thing pushing tech culture to it's extremely but instead of the MCU it's The Boys. Showing you how the culture chews people up and destroys them.
I'd rate it watch if you have time, but not must see. The cast is certainly stronger than the material.

It's probably been mentioned somewhere else in the thread, but if you like the Bodyguard, you may like Line of Duty - the show is created and written by the same guy, Jed Mercurio.
Watched the first season of Avenue 5, takes a bit to get going but I was fully hooked by the end. If you like Veep you should definitely put this on your list. It's basically the Veep universe jumped forward 40 years and in space
I know taskmaster was mentioned on here a while ago, but series 11 just finished and my god, I've never wanted to be anyone more than wanting to be Mike Wozniak

Avenue 5 was awesome. I hope it keeps going.

Thanks whoever recommended Mare of Easttown. Very good show, only complaints are
1. That didn't seem like a great "full season". It really felt like they were just getting started and left way too much for the stupid 1.5-2 year waits we have these days for new seasons on shows
2. There was so many people tied in to it at times, almost to an absurd degree. I get that it's kind of a who done it show, but I felt it jumped the shark a little with the level of tie ins.
It just left so much for the second season. I really feel that this should have been a 7-10 episode first season. I mean, most first seasons at least wrap up something . This just strung you along with an excellent series and then it ends and you're like "WTF, k now we're two years away from finding out anything.

How did you watch the full season? There should be 2 episodes left to be aired (this and next Sunday).
Hahaha, oh is that the case? I literally didn't know that. I thought episode 5 was the last of the season. I'm too used to netflix dumping full seasons, lol.
Crazy to me there was a time in 2009/10 where The Office, Parks, 30 Rock, and Community aired back to back to back to back on NBC Thursday nights. Probably the greatest block of sitcoms ever.
ah
Full House, Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, Just the 10 of us
