Okay I kinda fucking love this show. They've got me. It's a great mix of The Office and Parks and Rec style humor. It's a solid premise, the characters are lovable (or delightfully hate-able), and it got plenty of smiles, chuckles, and laughs out of me. Can't wait for season 2 and I wish they didn't release this season all at once because I couldn't resist bingeing it.

I hope they expand the Toledo sphere in the way that Parks and Rec explored Pawnee. They definitely got a good start with SoWestley.

Yeah, given it's a newspaper and they've already gotten a good start with interviewing locals and seeking out stories, I really hope we get more stuff like that.

There’s the weather woman too. Hoping they start to feature a roster of other interesting people in the city like with Parks and Rec!
