The other day I said to Peter, “Remember when I asked you to choose between Community, 30 Rock and Parks & Recreation, if you had to spend forever in one of them?”
“Yeah.”
“And we decided Community was too zany to be there long-term?”
“Yeah.”
“But what did we say about 30 Rock versus Parks & Rec?”
“Oh,” he said, “that 30 Rock was where we should be, because we’re writers and stuff. But the hours would be too long.”
“No, it wasn’t that.”
“Yeah it was, it was about how that would have been the answer before Reiden, but now we have a different lifestyle.”
“I’m pretty sure it was something else.”
“Why are you asking?”
“It’s bugging me. It was something about how the Parks & Rec people would be more like, comforting if we had to be with them forever. But that wasn’t quite it. Damn, I really want to remember.”
“Why?”
“I want to use it as a blog post. I suppose I could just make something up.”
“It’s not like I’m going to hold you to the truth or anything.”
“I really wish I could remember exactly what we said.”
I did remember, later on. And then I forgot again.
I’m really glad we were talking about good sitcoms, and so my secret Modern Family addiction can remain our secret.
I think you meant Big Bang Theory.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!
