About a month ago I started watching Parks and Recreation on Netflix, after hearing good things about it for years. Now, I admit I am slightly (OK, very much) elitist when it comes to TV shows, especially sitcoms, and many times before I had watched something that came highly recommended and ended up disappointed. When it came to Parks and Rec, I had thankfully received an important tip from my boss Katie that the first season (which is only six episodes) is mostly about character development and that Season 2 is where the hilarity truly begins. If not for that tip, I may have stopped watching after two episodes. Instead, I kept on watching until I was completely caught up. Tonight will be the first time I watch an episode live. I've been reminded that waiting week-to-week isn't nearly as fun as watching five episodes at a time.
Needless to say, I LOVE this show. Arrested Development is comedy series perfection, but Parks and Rec comes close. The characters are all so delightfully funny, unique, and likable. My favorite? Ron Swanson, of course. Second favorite? Chris Traeger ("Ann Perkins!"). Everyone else is a close third.
I knew I wanted to include a Ron Swanson clip at the end of this post, but there are—litrally—dozens of incredibly fantastic Ron Swanson clips, so I included two. (That sentence was meant to be read in Chris Traeger's voice, in case you didn't pick up on that.)
