Adam Scott joins Parks & Rec; NBC comedies renewed

Announced yesterday, Adam Scott will join the cast of Parks and Recreation next season. So what does this mean for my other favorite comedy, Party Down? I'm conflicted because I love both shows so much, but I do think Party Down needs a straight man Henry more than Parks & Rec needs another Paul Schneider-type (if that is how he is going to be cast. Come to think of it, their voices sound almost identical!). The renewal of PD for a third season is still iffy, reliant on the viewership of season two, so it was a smart bet for Scott to join P&R, unfortunately for PD fans. If the cast of PD keeps changing, it might be hard to retain viewers. Jane Lynch's departure was definitely a blow, and when the show loses its primary POV, it's unclear what will happen to the tone of the show.

In other news, 30 Rock, The Office, and Community were all renewed! Parks and Recreation was renewed about a month ago. Good news for Thurs night NBC comedy fans like me!
