Parks and Recreation

I recently finished the TV show Parks and Recreation. It is one of those shows that is able to get you to feel every emotion. Warning now, there are going to be spoilers.

By the way the theme song is very catchy!

This show took about 3-4 episodes to really get in to. But after that I watched about 4-6 episodes a day. For 5 episodes it is about 1 hour and about 45 minutes. So not that much time, in that respect. I was able to finish this series in a few weeks. It is the best show in the entire world and you need to watch it. I watched it so fast that I was able to catch up to the final season that was still premiering on TV.

Now here is a top three of my favorite episodes, Pilot, Harvest Festival, and Ann & Chris.

The first one being the pilot, it introduced characters that you will fall in love with. You learn that theyy work at the Pawnee, Indiana Parks and Recreation department. It starts with Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt) falling into a large pit in their backyard. Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) goes to an open forum hosted by the P&R branch. There she meets Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). and Leslie promises to fulfil her wish to fill in the pit. When Ann & Leslie visit the pit, Ann accidentally falls in. Which turned into a multiple year process. You continue to meet Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari), April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza), and Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman).

Next is the Harvest Festival, Season 3 Episode 7. Leslie wants to recreate the past Harvest Festival. But the Wamapoke tribe leader, requests the festival be moved because it is on Wamapoke land. The leader also says that he cursed the land, but like The Office, it is a 'documentary' like show, he says to the camera crew, "There are two things [he] know[s] about white people: they love Rachael Ray, and are terrified of curses. "Leslie surprises everyone with Li'l Sebastian, a miniature horse, everyone loves except for Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott), he doesn't understand the fad. Tom accidentally release Li'l Sebastian from his pen, and blames the curse and Jerry Gergich (Jim O'Heir). On the Ferris Wheel Andy admits he loves April. Jerry accepts Tom's apology. Then afterwards they find Li'l Sebastian inside the corn maze.

This next episode is in Season 6, Episode 13. This episode really pulls at the heart strings. By far one of the saddest episodes. With this being the last night in Pawnee for Ann and Chris (Rob Lowe), Leslie throws them a going away party, a little over the top. But nothing is over the top for Ann. While the boys, Andy, Tom, and Ron are trying to find a going away gift for the two of them. Remember that promise Leslie made Ann in the first episode. It was fulfilled this time, Leslie and Ann together broke the first ground on the pit, soon to be playground. The next day, pregnant Ann and Chris say goodbye to everyone, then drive off into the sunset. "There has never been a sadness a breakfast food couldn't fix." - Ron Swanson. This is the episode that really tugged at the heartstrings, and not gonna lie made me tear up a bit.
