only watched Southland, (severe storms don’t you know), and it had a unique Director approach….almost hand held camera…rapid action, movement and never a dull second. 4 1/2 Stars.

I watched Southland because 1) it looked good and 2) Ben Mackenzie. While I thought Ben did a great job, I won’t be coming back next week. It just didn’t hold my interest. Although, I do think it would have been a different story if it were on FX. Obviously, that’s the style the creators were going for and with The Shield gone, it easily could have filled the cop show void.

Watched Park and Rec enjoy all the cast except Amy Poehler. I really hated Amy Poehler’s character, so won’t be watching the show again.

I didn’t watch P&R. Southland was okay I will give it a chance and see. Harpers Island got off to a great start and I am excited about it!

Southland looks good, I could follow some of the show for the most part (we were under severe weather tornado warnings for the whole show, midwest you know) I think it will be an interesting look into our police forces.
Hopefully it will bring attention to the women and men who serve us, and give us a little “light” into the personal struggles of thier profession’s.

I don’t laugh out loud a lot, so when P&R got a few out of me, I thought, okay, not bad, not bad. But bws said it all, and better than I can at this moment, so I will leave it at that.

Parks and Recreation shows a lot of promise. If they get rid of the mockumentary approach, it would open up the show a lot more beyond a show made by the same people who made The Office. P&S is a different show, and it would be a shame for the producers to ignore that. I’ll keep watching though, because I think it can turn itself around by season’s end like The Office and 30 Rock did.

Didn’t watch OFFICE, PARKLAND, nor P&R. SOUTHLAND is not going to make it. A rip-off on THIRD WATCH, HILL STREET BLUES & an old one, POLICE STORY. This is a poor rip off. Cut your loses and can it now.
