So I've been seeing people complain in the talkbacks for years now, asking "how about a talkback for this or that show", and it got me to thinkin'; why not a daily, dated column? Ya know, like, "Friday, Nov 4th, 2011 - What's On Tonight?" You could still focus on whatever shows you frosted your pickle, of course. And you could include the previous weeks ratings in it as well. You could also do it a week at a time, I guess. Probably get a shit ton of responses in each column. Just an unfinished thought, really, one you've probably thought of already, too. Didn't think it could hurt to send it along, though. Many thanks.
Let’s give it a whirl.
NBC says of “Advanced Gay”:
When Pierce learns that he and his Hawthorne wipes have become extremely popular, he decides to throw a big party -- until his overbearing father, Cornelius Hawthorne (Larry Cedar, "Deadwood,") shows up and puts the kibosh on the plans. Meanwhile, Troy finds himself being courted by Vice Dean Laybourne (John Goodman) and his secretive Air Conditioning Repair Annex, as well as Greendale's resident janitor, Jerry (Jerry Minor, "Lucky Louie").
NBC says of “End Of The World”:
A local Pawnee group predicts that the end of the world is coming, causing Leslie and others to contemplate their lives. Tom decides to throw the best party ever before he loses his office space, while April helps Andy complete his "bucket list" before the world ends.
NBC says of “Doomsday”:
Dwight (Rainn Willson) tries to help the office's efficiency by installing a Doomsday device that will get them all fired if they make too many mistakes.
