"I had a big, gigantic, clunky Dell computer in my attic,” says Greg Poehler, "and it’s kind of embarrassing, but I’m not even joking, I started by Googling 'How to write a script.’ That was step one. In quotes. 'How to write a script.’ And then I cut and pasted the 'How I Met Your Mother' pilot, which is available online when you type in 'How to write a script.' And then kind of just went from there. I had no idea what I was doing.” PLUS: Amy Poehler (http://t.co/hAluTKFR4V) says her brother has always been funny, “Welcome to Sweden” is NBC’s best comedy in a long time (http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/welcome-to-sweden-review-greg-poehler-amy-s-brother-charms-1.8711049), it’s actually funny with a story to tell (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-et-st-welcome-to-sweden-working-engels-review-20140710-column.html), it requires active watching (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/welcome-sweden-tv-review-716895?) by going in and out of English, this could become an NBC utility player (http://variety.com/2014/tv/reviews/welcome-to-sweden-tv-review-1201255359/), and “Sweden” is the terrible antithesis of “Parks and Rec."
