Anyone watching this? I watched 3 episodes On Demand last night. I thought Samberg would annoy me, but he's been funny. The show was picked up for a full season.

Surprisingly good. It kind of reminds me of The Office.

Watched the premiere and thought it was quite possibly the worst show I've ever seen. So it picks up?

Yeah, with the way the camera does the quick panning in and out, it does have an "Office" vibe.

Dan, the next 2 episodes got funnier. I'll watch the last two that they have On Demand tonight and report back.

I've seen the first 3 or 4. I plan to keep watching it.

It would be the only comedy I watch. Gave up on comedies about 5 years ago.

I think the fact that it's only 30 minutes also interested me, as my attention span is rather short.

It should. It's brought to you by people who were behind The Office.
I find it amusing. I rather enjoy the desk Sargent who is afraid of doing police work. The guy who was President Camacho in Idiocracy.

Seen a couple and think it's not bad. I think it might be a little "off" for the regular viewing audience used to windup and deliver punch line. I have a feeling many might not get it, much like "Get A Life."

I can't even begin to tell you how strongly I object to the notion that Andy Samberg is too clever for people.

Pics, or I assume you're talking about Andy Samberg.

This show is hilarious and now officially appointment viewing for me.


Great writing. Chelsea Peretti's character is great

Agreed overall, but it works on this show. Have you tried it?

After having no intention to watch because 1) while I think Samberg is often funny, I don't like the look on his face and 2) the show didn't look funny in the commercials, I watched the pilot and last week's new episode and thought they were both funny.

I would also like to repeatedly befoul the orifices of both of the Hispanic cops in the show.

Ah, I see. You can understand why Id think you were talking about Samberg in general.


I like the writing.


It's pretty much a slightly edgier version of The Office with Cops

I saw the pilot recently and liked it, but can't find it anywhere on demand on Directv. Does anyone know if Fox shows are available on demand on Directv?

you can only watch the last 5 or so episodes on fox's website. I dont think fox shows are on demnd on directv but im not home to check.

i didnt realize the makers of the office and parks and rec were behind this show, or else i would have watched it fromt he beginning
