    Now that Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe have left the series, do you think that the show will go uphill or downhill? I started watching when 30 Rock ended and Amy Poehler impressed me at the Golden Globes. Following my friend's advice to start with Season 2 first was great. Indeed, Season 1 is utter shit, and P&R did a reverse-Community in a way: from crap (Season 1) to fantastic (Season 2, 3, onwards)

    Are there any Ron Swanson appreciators at DLP?

    Personally, I'm a fan of the show's witty banter which skirts the parameters between cynicism and optimism. Despite all the bullshit that Pawnee piles onto Leslie and the Parks Department, some of which is hilarious bullshit, they manage to pull through. Plus I enjoy Amy Poehler's humour.

    Also, this video gives me an exorbitant amount of joy, even though it shouldn't.

    I'm alright with this development. Chris was never really a great character to begin with. I'd rather have had Andy get axed (seriously, how is this guy still in the show after 6 seasons?) , but you can't win them all.

    I watched it when it first came out. At first it was pretty much an Office rip-off, but I thought it was okay. It's definitely grown a lot since then, and I was fairly impressed with it, though I stopped watching regularly at some point. I didn't know those two had left.

    DLP is horrible today, fuck all of this white. I wanted to say that those gifs are terrible, though, and do not do Parks justice, there are so many great moments. One of my all-time favorite comedies.

    I once had a chance to meet Rashida Jones. Pretty lady, if kind of skinny in person. But this last season has only been good, not great.

    This is the kind of show where when first I thought, "That sounds really boring." Then when I started watching I learned I was totally wrong.

    Season 4 or 5 (whenever Ben joined) is when I started watching and its been consistently good.

    Amy Poehler is so awesome.

    Last episode with April and that "...And also, I'm the Zodiac Killer." :)

    Because Andy is one of the best characters, and the show would be much worse without him.
