TV’s Moments of Joy — Bob Bobinson Bobert

Parks and Recreation – This week gave us a sequel to last season’s much-loved “Ron and Tammy”.  In “Ron and Tammy 2”, Megan Mullally returned as Ron’s ex-wife.  This time, Tom tried dating Tommy to get back at Ron for dating his ex.  This backfired on Tom when Ron and Tammy rekindled their strange mixture of passion and loathing.  They ended up getting a quickie marriage, but not before Ron got the greatest set of cornrows since Kenny Powers went to Mexico.  (And in an amazing visual joke, the cornrows were parted in the same place as his regular haircut.)  Oh, also the middle of his mustache was gone – not because he shaved it.  Rather, it got rubbed off.  From the friction.  (shudder)  There was an arrest, Leslie put together a failed intervention (including a guest appearance by Ron Swanson on a video he recorded for just such an occasion), and Tammy slapped Tom around but good.  And while Ron dominated the episode, we also saw Adam Scott’s Ben prove to be really bad at banter, and in a genius move, April ended up working for Chris.  The contrast in energy levels between the two was hilarious.  Week after week, this is our favorite comedy!
