I watched the first two seasons of Parks & Rec and then went on hiatus until recently. What an amazing show. The ensemble is amazing. The writing is terrific. And the show so proudly wears its heart on its sleeve. I just love how >good< these people are--no snark, no hipper-than-thou BS. Ben and Leslie are a couple of policy wonks who believe in the system. And Leslie's heart and goodness get rewarded often enough to keep her going. I just finished "Mrs. Knope goes to Washington", and I LOVED that her reaction to the Corridors of Power was to put on her waders and clean up the Pawnee River herself. Classic Leslie Knope--full of beans and never giving in to the darkness.
Rob Lowe? Hilarious. Nick Offerman? Briliant. Chris Pratt? Such a natural actor. Amazing. The Tammys? Ohmigod--hysterical.
I love the meta/meta humor of 'Community', but the underlying snark gets me down after too many episodes in a row. Parks & Rec is--for me--the perfect show--I can't get enough.
