AA B CC


I'm a pretty big Aziz Ansari fan. By 'pretty big' I mean I read his Tumblr obsessively, his Twitter occasionally and follow his Facebook status updates somewhere between obsessively and occasionally. I go out of my way to watch his performances on other shows and I feel like I can relate to him because he is just a normal guy who blogs a lot and somehow made it big.

I'm a pretty big Will Leitch fan. By 'pretty big' I mean I read his Tumblr obsessively, his Twitter occasionally and follow his Facebook status updates somewhere between obsessively and occasionally. I go out of my way to read his writing on other web sites and I feel like I can relate to him because he is just a normal guy who blogs a lot and somehow made it big.

That being said, it was an epic collision of my favorite e-celebrities when Will Leitch penned an article for New York about Aziz's new show Parks and Recreation. 

I would probably like Parks and Recreation if I never saw The Office, but I have seen the original model and The Office is far superior. Even though Aziz Ansari is more entertaining than a couple of the characters on The Office, the rest of the cast doesn't have much to offer. It has a funny concept and has received a lot of hype, but it's just like watching a watered down version of The Office. I'd be surprised if the show last more than a season. 

I would have probably liked the XFL if I never saw NFL, but I have seen the original model and the NFL is far superior. Even though He Hate Me was more entertaining than a couple of the players in the NFL, the rest of the league didn't have much to offer. It had a cool concept and received a lot of hype, but it was just like watching a watered down version of NFL. No one was surprised when the league only lasted a season. 

I'll be the first to admit this post did not come close to touching this one.
