I took way too many photos of my TV screen during the Golden Globes. Some of them made the cut. (Who can say what “some” means, really?) Join me in a visual adventure through Tina and Amy’s gladiating, Martin Scorsese’s unbridled enthusiasm at a vagina joke, Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ gluttony, and more:
Switch hit: Amy Poehler really did look amazing tonight.
Tina and Amy’s Scandal/Blue Steel moment: Chilling!
Lots of cuts to intense Jon Voight in the audience. Is this why Jennifer Lawrence was scared?
Elisabeth Moss (Best Actress in a Mini-Series) had a big night: Flipping off E!

A Parks and Rec gag reel that’s as long as an actual episode of Parks and Rec? That sounds like Lit-trally the greatest thing that has ever existed.
Warning: Nsfw language ahead, along with many scenes of Chris Pratt giggling.
We begin with actor Jon Glaser, who introduces the reel in character as Councilman Jamm. The bit also involves an Office-style documentary crew — something we’ll probably never see on an actual episode of Parks. (Which is a good thing, because I couldn’t handle Leslie and Ben’s marriage being threatened by a cute gaffer or whatever.

The way Rob Lowe pronounces the word “literally” on Parks and Recreation is nothing short of magic. It’s not like when people say nuke-u-ler when they mean nuclear; that just makes us stabby. When Chris Traeger says Lit-ruh-lee, it takes on great importance, underscoring just how excited he is about literally everything. (“Every time I cleanse, I can literally feel the toxins leaving my body!”) So how did this signature word come to pass? We cornered Lowe during a recent visit to the Parks and Rec set to demand his origin story.“I think I just leaned into that word really hard a couple of times and it made [showrunner Mike Schur] laugh,” said Lowe. “The next thing you know it just became one of Chris’s things, but it was never designed that way. It was merely a word in a sentence. I think I just took a really big,...

In addition to being very funny, "Parks and Recreation" also gets quite a few details right about the way local government works in a small(ish) city. Those details might be exaggerated -- as they were in this week's "Time Capsule" episode -- but there's a lot of truth behind them.
If you've ever seen a city council or county board meeting get hijacked by a handful of citizens with axes to grind, you know that the argument over whether "Twilight" deserves to be in a Pawnee time capsule isn't that far from reality. We'll grant you that most of those arguments are not about best-selling Ya fiction, but the show got the tenor of the I'm right-you're wrong argument about whether "Twilight" was too Christian or not Christian enough, and whether pet ashes and paintings belonged in time capsule 4 or time capsule 9, just about exactly right.
