Leslie is finally ready to address what happened

Man, NBC had to have one of the best, and underapprciated, Thursday sitcom lineups in the history of TV.
At one point they had Community (season 1), Parks & Rec (season 2), The Office (season 6), and 30 Rock (season 4).
Freaking incredible. I personally believe those shows were under appreciated as whole for their time, with the exception of The Office and kind of 30 Rock. The Office was a juggernaut and 30 Rock was held in high regard, but I think all 4 of those shows have only grown in popularity since they've been off the air. I think that's really incredible. If they had the following they do today, it might be the best sitcom lineup ever.
Looking back, it really is mind blowing that all four of those shows aired back to back to back to back over a two-hour block.
They were properly appreciated at the time by pop culture and media reviews. But it wasn't a juggernaut. CBS was still crushing all of it with dated crappy laugh track sitcoms. Community was the real step child of the group, constantly under threat of cancelation. P&R was protected by the office and 30rock had Don Lorne looking out.
Well get ready for your mind to really be blown when you find out that NBC did this many many times, on Thursday night even, and this version was arguably the least successful by far compared to the 80s Thursday night must see lineups.TCTTS said:Beat40 said:

I was born in 1980. I remember the other NBC Thursday night eras well. I'm not talking so much "success" as I am the novelty of my/our favorite modern comedy classics all playing on one night.

The third time you watched the same highlight just hit different
The bolded section - wouldn't this, along with the increased popularity of those 4 shows after they went off the air and ended up on streaming services indicate that they were in fact under appreciated for their time?expresswrittenconsent said:

I don't really care to argue, but I think you could look back and say with their popularity today that they weren't appreciated in the way they are today.
This latest convo gave me a fun thread idea. Acquiring data now, will post later tonight...
Making breakfast for dinner in honor of this special

Perhaps, but wheres the data? You *FEEL* like those shows are more appreciated today than at the time. I *FEEL* like they were pretty well appreciated at the time, and that the audience hasn't really grown its demographic.
Seems we both have emotionally decided that the time when we watched the show was the most important time for said shows value to popular culture.

Ending it with Lil Sebastian was great
Well that was as much or more than we could ask for.
Bravo to one of the best ensembles in TV history.
Jim Oheir said it best in that pre show highlight ep: "I want us to be remembered for being special"

That was awesome! For what it was, I thought they did a really good job. That Lil Sebastian finisher was perfect
What was Jean Ralphio's number? Someone's got to try it.
Man that was fantastic. Ending legit got me emotional
"Shut up Ben!"
"Shut up Ben!"
That was very sweet and hit all the right notes. The one thing Parks and Rec did great was create very endearing characters.
Ben's reaction to the song was great
