I’m skipping yesterday because a Halloween party absorbed my normal prime-time viewing opportunities.

Tonight Hulu through the AppleTV continued to be a spotty performer, but worked well enough for me to watch the Office episode from this week and a few episodes of Parks and Recreation. I liked the P&R episodes I saw. The Office is losing me, though. It’s hard not to feel like they’re running out of gas. Warm and fuzzy resolutions (marriages/consummations, promotions, etc.) are the sworn enemy of funny. Note to whoever decided Pam and Jim should get married and have an instababy – this is not what the fans want, even if they tell you it’s what they want. It’s what they want to want, and you have failed in your responsibility to let them keep wanting it. Now that they have it, they are going to have to find something else to want, probably on another show.

Here’s another unsolicited tip, this time for Hulu. Go ahead and put the whole show up. I’m new to Parks and Recreation, and Hulu only allows me to watch the second season. Congratulations for providing me a platform to find out I like a one of your programs, but major demerits for not letting me watch much of it once you’ve hooked me. It doesn’t hurt you if I catch up, especially if you’re forcing commercials into the feed already. Just throw it on up there. Be a sport. If you’re going to get in the pool, get in the pool.
