Check It. The Office's "Seasons of Michael" [The Monday Download].

Even if you haven't been keeping up with The Office for the past couple of seasons, you undoubtedly have heard that main cast member Steve Carell is leaving at the end of this season. And while the show's had its on and off moments since season 3, the writers have absolutely been doing a great job sending off Carell this season.

And so far, it's been best shown with this moment.

Steve Carell as Michael Scott signs off of The Office this Thursday on NBC in an extended episode beginning at 9pm.

Check It. Community's holiday episode [The Monday Download].

Admittedly, when NBC's Thursday night sitcom Community premiered last year, I wasn't much of a fan -- it was definitely struggling to find its way, and the characters weren't all that interesting to me. But somehow, in the past year, it's soared beyond any prior expectations and become a must-see TV show for me, thanks to wonderful quirky storylines, incredibly genius Easter eggs, great acting and commitment to characters, and just a whole lot of ridiculous fun.

Take, for example, this week's holiday-themed episode -- which also happens to be done completely in claymation, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer-style. So awesome! Here's a fun clip preview:

If you haven't jumped on yet, it's time to! Witnessing the beautiful interaction between Abed and Troy is worth it.

Do It. 'Parks and Recreation' at Largo.

I didn't like Parks and Recreation when it first premiered on TV. Everything felt stunted and it seemed like too much of a rehash of The Office, from (the hot) Rashida Jones character to Amy Poehler's Michael Scott-like demeanor.

So I gave up on for a bit, until I was convinced enough by the end of its first season by loyalists that it had finally found its place. They were right, and now in its second season, Parks and Rec has totally hit its stride. There's just a great chemistry among all the cast members, and they all play off each other really well and connect on hilarious levels. (Go Andy and April!)

Which is why this live show at Largo at the Coronet tomorrow night is sure to be an entertaining time. The cast of the show is set to hit the live stage with Tig Notaro, whom admittedly I don't know much about, but is apparently a comedian who's appeared on the Sarah Silverman Show. There'll be a Q&A with the cast, and basically everyone, including Poehler, Jones, (the always spot-on) Aziz Ansari and Aubrey Plaza, is expected to appear. Don't forget to put on your nice suit--gotta look fly!

Largo at the Coronet is located at 366 N. La Cienega Blvd. The show on Saturday starts at 8pm and is $25.
