EDIT: Season 5 starts on 20 September
Do you know "Parks and Recreation"? To me, it's the one of the best comedies in the US right now. I follow the show since the first season. Unlike other shows, season 1 was to me the worst season. But I'm glad I stayed for Season 2! Since then, I've never been disappointed. The fourth season started this week on NBC, so I thought I'd make a thread.
Parks and Recreation follows the Parks and Recreation department of Pawnee, in a mockumentary filming style (like The Office). The main character, Leslie Knope, Deputy Parks Director, is played by Amy Poehler (ex-SNL). Here is the recurring cast: + Show Spoiler [Cast] +Amy Poehler Leslie Knope Rashida Jones Ann Perkins Aziz Ansari Tom Haverford Aubrey Plaza April Ludgate Chris Pratt Andy Dwyer Nick Offerman Ron Swanson Jim O'Heir Jerry Gergich Retta Donna Paul Schneider Mark Brendanawicz Adam Scott Ben Wyatt Rob Lowe Chris Traeger
More info: Parks and Rec on IMDB Personally, my favorite character is Ron Swanson. The guy is hilarious! One of his quotes: "I'm not interested in caring about people. I once worked with a guy for three years and never learned his name... Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes."
So, does anybody here like the show as well? What did you think of the first episode of Season 4?

This show is AMAZING! You should check out "Up All Night" that new show as well if you like this humor. For my GF and I thursday is insane, with Parks & Rec / Community in a row.
I love Ron Swanson
The first episode of season 4 was great!
|
Oh yeah, this show is hilarious. Really gets overshadowed by The Office, but definitely if you like The Office you should check this show out.

Totally agree. Also Rashida Jones is such a babe man...
I love it on the same level of The Office. Maybe a bit more due to me finding the later seasons of The Office not as funny.

|
Parks and Rec is awesome.
Far better than the latest season(s) of the Office to be sure!
|
Not gonna lie, i thought about making this thread myself 2 hours ago :D

Thanks, I'll check it out!
And I agree with everyone saying it's better than The Office, especially the latest seasons. I hope we will still have a few awesome seasons for Parks and Rec!

Ron Effin Swanson best char ever I love me some Ron Swanson.
Food and Stuffs.
For anyone who hasn't watched the show, I started watching from Season 2 and on, the first Season is super different and apparently doesn't hit it's stride until the 6th episode (1st Season Finale). I never watched the first season and I'm not sure you need to.

This is one of the best shows on TV. Ron is the ideal man.
|
Community and Modern Family are jealous because I'll never love them as much as Parks and Rec.
Ron fucking Swanson is the best character on television right now. This is a fact.
Leslie has gotten a lot deeper as a character, and Ben's awkwardness is a great addition to the show. April and Andy are the cutest couple on TV. Also fact.
As a West Wing fan, it hurts to say that Chris is literally Rob Lowe's best role. But it too, is a fact.
And anyone who has watched Human Giant before (sketch comedy show on MTV, a lot better than it sounds) knows Aziz Ansari can flat out destroy any scene he's in. case in point, Food rakes.

I haven't watched it yet but that sounds like a pretty stupid name for a tv series to me. Anyone else thinking the same?

2 words. Ron F****** Swanson.
|
I watched the first half of season one and it was super bad then but if you are saying it gets better I might give it another shot
|
Season 4 premiere was abit lack luster and scattered but I have no doubt its gonna be a great season.
Parks and Rec is amazing, perfect substitute for those bored of the Office.

Dont you dare let this thread fall off after a week >:/
This weeks episode was hilarious. I love this show.
Nick Offerman was awesome this week, but overall everyone did great this episode. Leslie drinkin' with Tammy One and Tammy Zero (:D), and especially her few drunk acting pieces were absolutely golden.
Entertainment 720 continues to be the most f'ed up business ever started, but hey...free iPads, weeeee :D
Overall, yeah, another fantastic episode. P&R continues to be my favorite comedy of the season (as it has been last season)
