Even if they’re a million miles away. Even if you fight. Even if they’ll always love someone more than you. Forget the selfish shit and don’t be afraid to love without boundaries because you never know when they’ll be gone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I can’t save you, but I’ll love you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jersey Shore on MTV is quickly becoming on of my favorite shows.  You can’t overhype this show. It’s bananas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I might be late to the party on this, but this clip of a big dude punching a girl in the face sums up just how nuts the show actually is&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gq.com/blogs/the-q/2009/12/sitcom-of-the-year-parks-and-recreation.html"&gt;GQ names Parks and Recreation as Sitcom of the Year&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With all due respect to fans of &lt;i&gt;Modern Family&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;The Office&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Curb Your Enthusiasm&lt;/i&gt;, when Questlove of The Roots &lt;a href="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/15t1f"&gt;wrote last week&lt;/a&gt; that &lt;i&gt;Parks and Rec&lt;/i&gt; is the Wu Tang of Comedy, he nailed it. This, no doubt, comes as a shock to people who dipped their toes in last season and left disappointed. We know. We understand. The first six episodes blew. The creative team has said that run last spring was really one extended pilot. That’s true—and a shame. Because it turned off a lot of viewers&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But while no one was watching, the focus changed. Amy Poeher’s parks commissioner Leslie softened. The limp romance between Mark (Paul Schneider) and Ann (Rashida Jones) moved to the background. The true lunatic weirdness of the show—from Chris Pratt’s pit-dwelling, shoe-shining, &lt;i&gt;Deal Or No Deal&lt;/i&gt;-auditioning Andy to Nick Offerman’s lover of brown haired ladies and breakfast food Ron Swanson—started to emerge. It’s got the deepest bench on TV. (Aziz Anzari = brilliant. Aubrey Plaza is our biggest entertainment crush right now.) The best guest stars. (LouisCK, Megan Mullally, Fred Armisan.) And, of course, Amy Poehler, whose warmth and willingness to totally humiliate herself confirmed what we always knew: she’s one of the best comedians working today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For all that, though, the real star of the show is Pawnee. Unlike &lt;i&gt;The Office&lt;/i&gt;, which exists in a hermetically sealed lucite box of sadness that hits WAY too close to home these days, &lt;i&gt;Parks and Recreation&lt;/i&gt; pulls back the lens and lets the town become a character. Just off the top of my head, here are a few details of what we’ve learned about Indiana’s finest city. It has…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;–An anti-semitic past that is celebrated in mural form&lt;br/&gt; –A library department that is a group of “punk ass book jockeys” and the “worst group of people ever assembled”&lt;br/&gt; –Raccoons that aren’t nocturnal and tend to attack children&lt;br/&gt; –A sewer department overrun with floozies &lt;br/&gt; –A gay bar and a strip club and a nipple factory and a restaurant named The Jurrasic Fork&lt;br/&gt; –And, of course, a giant pit that the government can’t seem to get filled&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reminds you of something, doesn’t it? Springfield. And while we know that any comparison’s to the Golden Age of &lt;i&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/i&gt; is heady praise that borders on sacrilege, it’s deserved. &lt;i&gt;Parks and Recreation&lt;/i&gt; is absurd. Hilarious. Packed with polished jokes, unexpected turns, and boasting real heart. Simply put, this is the funniest show on television right now. America, start watching. You’re missing something special. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
