I agree so much about Parks and Rec, and while I used to ship Mark/Leslie, LESLIE/ANN ARE THE BEST BFFS EVER. I LOVE THEM. I LOVE LESLIE. She's honestly one of the best female characters ever. I love how into her job she is and how she has such good intentions and tries so hard and man, thank god for Amy Poehler being at the helm of this because the writing is just so so fantastic. And they've managed to transform my opinions entirely of two characters who I totally weren't into in Season 1 - hello, Tom and Andy! - who I now completely adore.
I want Tom to get with bartender lady so badly. He needs a little happiness. And I love how he acts so crazy all the time but when Leslie's really losing it, he can pull it together and make her sane, and just oh, show!. I'm so, so glad I stuck it out. Love it.
As for 30 Rock, yeah, I agree, I don't really care about Avery or ... Julianne Moore either. And would S2 Jack Donaghy do this? No, he would man up and pick someone. And yeah, they've really turned Liz from someone who was successful but maybe a little personally sad into someone who is totally ridiculous.
While I love Wesley as a character, the angle of we should date each other because YOU WILL FIND NOBODY ELSE AND WE CAN JUST BE MISERABLE TOGETHER just doesn't work for me. It ... bothers me, I guess, on a level that Liz is continually being told that she will always have to settle. IDK IDK. I used to see so much of myself in Liz (patron saint of nerd girls, whatup!) but they've completely transformed her character and...IDK what happened to her. I'll still watch 30 Rock but hopefully next season, they can...re-Liz-ify her?
