It's hard to believe that when this sitcom debuted, I almost wrote it off. I watched the first season mostly out of loyalty to Amy Poehler and Aziz Ansari, but man, am I glad that I stuck with it. This show has gone from must-watch-because-I-feel-obligated-and-am-too-lazy-to-change-the-channel-before-The-Office-starts to something I genuinely get excited about each week.

Happy Friday to you! Personally, my day has been a little loopy; I watched this clip from Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman earlier, so I'm feeling tense!

Comedy rules today's TV headlines, which I think is great, because I can really use a break after last night's Lost. Hopefully next week, Jin and Sun will finally reunite and we can watch Claire breastfeed her demon baby-thing.

Amy Poehler is going to be featured on Inside the Actors Studio on Monday, September 21, and yeah, sure, maybe she's not exactly an actor in the strictest sense of the word, but the comedian Actors Studios are often the most interesting. I could watch the Eddie Murphy and Mike Meyers episodes over and over again and be thoroughly entertained, and I hate those jackasses. At least Amy Poehler is awesome.

Today we get some blasts from the past with a Seinfeld reunion and Amy Poehler's return to SNL, and a look towards the future with a video game based on The Bachelor. It's enough to make anyone nostalgic.

There's a new sheriff in town over at NBC, and a whole new slew of shows to replace all the shows that failed last season (pretty much all of them, basically). It's an entirely new programming slate over there, so I attended the red carpet portion of the network's Upfront presentation this morning to get some interviews with the new and returning talent. They were all so lovely that I hope none of their shows get canceled too soon.

Saturday Night Live premiered over the weekend with an awesome host in Amy Poehler and a relevant musical guest in Katy Perry, but somehow the episode as a whole was a real miss. Every episode has a few great sketches and a whole bunch of bad ones, but this week's episode felt like the ratio tipped far further in the direction of the bad ones, especially for an event episode that should have brought everyone's a-games. Suffice it to say that it was no placeholder for Parks & Recreation. I've listed the best and worst sketches of the night after the break, so watch and play along.
