New sneak peak of Andy in Parks & Rec. Links below.
I've never seen this show before, but from the sneak peaks, it looks hilarious. I already knew Amy was a great actress, but the entire cast seems funny and talented. I might end up watching this show even when Andy isn't on it to act as incentive. ;)
It airs tomorrow night--looking forward to it!

i'm looking forward to the tina fey episode next time (though they do make dreadfully long breaks between the episodes. I hate waiting 3 weeks for the next one)
don't really know the golden girls, haven't really been intrested in the 4 old ladys so far. and I have only seen her in the proposal where she was quite alright. so we'll see how that turns out...
Anony2,
Looking forward to the next episode as well. I think Betty White was also on the Mary Tyler Moore show.
They have gaps because the cost per episode is too high. Lorne was told to cut costs (fire people) or cut episodes. He chose to cut episodes.
