Park and Recreation, "Summer Catalog"

Summary:

Leslie holds a picnic lunch for past directors of the Parks Department, hoping they'll provide inspiration as she prepares the annual Summer Events Catalog.

B Story: Tom tries to take the cover photo for the catalog with Mark and Ann as a couple with kid. His plans are complicated by Ann looking awkward on-camera.

C Story (really the B story?): April and Andy busy themselves at the picnic. Decide to go out to a bar, which April is to young to get into. Their date is a bust. A picture of them together at the picnic ends up being the Catalog cover photo in the end.

Community: "Interpretive Dance"

Summary:

Jeff tries to keep his new relationship a secret but the study group doesn't make it easy for him. Elsewhere, Troy and Britta come clean with their own secrets.

The A and B stories are clearly summarized in that description. Troy and Britta's secrets are dance class (! shock!). It was all fairly routine/traditional, with no real feelings being hurt, and no real big changes (maybe Jeff CAN have a relationship with someone). There wasn't a 'C' story. Everything worked out in the end. There were a few laughs. But this episode reaffirms why I still have a few more clogging up the DVR. I'm just not racing to watch them like I do other shows. The show has got a great cast but the stories end up feeling very stock and easily predictable.
