It's February 13th, and that means it's Galentine's Day!

I wanted to know if Jim's confession of love to Pam still held up in 2017, 11 years after it aired. The answer is yes, yes it does. The writing, acting, and everything are all there. But the overall effect is not quite the same, and I blame myself and the passage of time.

FCC chairman Ajit Pai has been extremely disingenuous in his arguments for removing the "common carrier" classification from broadband internet providers. He's also a big fan of Parks and Rec's ultra libertarian Ron Swanson—who one might imagine to be a fan of deregulation—to the point of hanging the character's "Pyramid of Greatness" outside his office. He seems to have missed, however, Swanson's penchant for honesty.

The Parks and Recreation stars went on The Late Late Show to debunk/support certain fan theories from Reddit.

The show had fast-forwarded to the year 2017, and when Andy and Tom go to visit Tom's longtime love interest Lucy in Chicago, she makes the comment that "everyone's in a really great mood now because of the Cubs winning the Series."

This week is giving me all the Parks and Recreation nostalgia. ICYMI, earlier this week it was officially Treat Yo Self 2016 on October 13th, and now Ron Swanson himself is finally sounding off on the presidential election.

Two days ago, Stranger Things and Parks and Rec fans got a special treat in the form of some pictures from a "father/son" reunion between the former's Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) and the latter's Jean-Ralphio Saperstein (Ben Schwartz). It turns out that those pictures were just a teaser for things to come, as the two shot a whole video together for a Late Late Show digital short.

Of all the unanswered questions we had at the end of Stranger Things' first season, perhaps the one that rang out loudest was, "Is Steve Harrington actually Jean-Ralphio Saperstein's dad?" ... OK, That may only be because Jean-Ralphio was scream-singing it in our ears, but we're happy to have our answer nonetheless.

According to Ben Schwartz himself, who recorded a short confessional for The Late Late Show, Steve Harrington is totally Jean-Ralphio's father.

With an undying love for bacon and guns, Ron Swanson has become something of a folk hero for NRA enthusiasts but the rough, uncaring outdoors man persona only represents a fraction of the character.

Right up front: Ben Schwartz technically didn't voice BB-8. When he appeared on Comedy Bang Bang and talked about his contributions to The Force Awakens, he mentioned that while J.J. Abrams had him (and Bill Hader) record lines to be chopped up and digitized, his reading still sounded way too human.

The cast of Sisters took turns on Late Night With Seth Meyers to try and persuade you to see Sisters instead of Star Wars. Were they successful?

A North Carolina town council recently voted not to allow another solar panel farm to be erected on a piece of land. That's all well and good (maybe not really good, but totally their call), but then their residents' concerns on the issue pretty much came within one Star Wars filibuster of being a Parks and Rec episode.

Even if I didn’t love the show and all it’s characters, if I wasn’t invested in their relationships, I’d still be pleased with how inclusive the show is.

In a post on his Facebook page earlier today, sixteen-puppies-in-a-Seahawks jersey Chris Pratt asked for help in designing his cover image, and offered to buy dinner at Applebee's for the winning designer.

The Season 7 gag reel for Parks and Rec is now up on Youtube, and it's as beautiful as a chestnut-haired sunfish.

Just how much of Andy Dwyer was Chris Pratt on Parks and Recreation? 100%, judging by his GQ interview this video where he explains stunts for Jurassic World.
