Is this still essentially replacing Parks & Rec?

You know what's not going to suck?  Law and Order Los Angeles.

That should have it's own thread.  And it will.

Which means I hate it without having seen a second of it. Nice work, NBC.

You'd hate it worse if you saw the previews.  I've seen two jokes in the promos:

1. An Indian guy at the outsourced Indian call center (which is in India) nervously sits with his headset on, coached by his clean-cut, American boss (who signed on for a management job at a new company in the States, only to find out on his first day of work that they want him to manage a call center not in America but -- twist -- IN INDIA!  Instead of declining and finding a new job, he apparently uproots his entire life and moves across the world to a foreign country so he can manage a call center that sells novelty goods).  Anyway, the Indian guy pushes the button on his headset to take his first call ever and says in an extra-Indian accent something like "Thank you for calling, how can I help you?"  After a brief pause, he earnestly describes the clothes he is wearing and then asks what the caller is wearing.  The American boss, who seems to be modeled vaguely on a less-charismatic Michael Bluth, hangs up the phone for him and slowly says, while inhaling through his teeth, "Wrong number." 
2. There is a character named Manmeat.

So? We have TDubbs. I don't see anyone making a Desipio sitcom. We need to get on that.

I already hate it as well. Hopefully, this show will fail miserably and Parks & Rec can get back on quickly.

This sounds kind of like that David Cross pilot if it was sold to NBC and was reworked in to TV cancer.

(Because cancer isn't funny).

What it lacked in humor it made up for in delicious racist stereotypes.

Wait, wut?  Did I miss something about Parks and Rec not coming back or something?
