I really liked Leslie Knope, especially in seasons 2-5.
The rest of the characters were reddit incarnate and most episodes were feel good bullshit. But the character of Leslie Knope, the naive well meaning government employee, is what I wish really existed. Even though I don't agree with a thing she believes in, she's still at heart a good person trying her best.
Let's see if anyone has the right answer: seasons 3-5 are pure goodness, the first two are weak but grow, and the last two are ok but declining, with flashes of former greatness.

It got shitty for me in the season where they go to DC. Still has its moments like Jeremy Jamm or pic related, but it became way too sentimental and "nice", if that makes sense.
close
IIRC either her or the husband was president and they made it vague on purpose
Either way, great show but it certainly fell off bad in the final 2-3 seasons. Especially the last one

Chris Pratt was the best part, not surprised he had great success
Rashida Jones is useless, unfunny, they just kept making her character frick all the male characters because she has no range as an actress
Shit show really, made for women (my wife watched it)
I hated how they made Andy a literal moron in later seasons. Agreed about Rashida Jones, completely useless character. I remember there was a whole episode where she is forcing Aubrey Plaza to hang out with her so that they can finally "be friends". Like wtf, why?
Was already running a bit long the epilogue season wasn't really all that necessary and they probably would've just been better off with everyone moving onto better things and the flash forward of...I forget was Leslie a Senator or President?
The only time Andy wasn't a moron was when he was a mooching dumbass who was bordering on a stalking his ex. He basically went full moron the second be became a fulltime character. And he literally got his fulltime character status by improving himself doing the dumbest shit.

I actually like season one even if it was a blatant ripoff of The Office. Not sure why it gets so much hate, especially with how bad the later seasons are.
Horrible. By far the most childish surface level writing of any sitcom I have ever seen. Ron? Manly man eat beef! Chris Pratt? Dog! Aubrey Plaza? Cat! The town society? All stupid morons who get in live action Lisa Simpsons way! Big Bang Theory is unironically better.
It was a fun show and had fun characters in it and some good jokes. It gets compared to the office a lot and I can see why, even though I didn't enjoy the office as much. Both shows do something I really hate where it's filmed and portrayed like some kind of documentary/reality TV series with the single cam filming and the 'confession booth'(not sure what it's called) segments where characters directly address the camera. I can get past that trope if jokes and characters are funny enough, but the Office at least attempted to explain its reason for being filmed in that way and kept most of the episodes within the actual office setting(obviously there were some exceptions). Parks made no attempt to explain why the department orbcharacyers were being filmed and followed in the first place, and the camera crew followed the characters around outside of work, in their personal lives/homes. It just feels super lazy. But regardless of what anyone feels in the Parks vs the Office argument, I think we can all at least agree that Modern Family did it the worst and makes absolutely no sense being filmed the way it was.
It was weird. It was just hoping it could copy The Officer's style almost completely to a T and be another massive hit. It felt very corporate and lame
It was ok. The Office was better.
Office had a more consistent peak, but Parks at it's peak was better than office
I disagree with.
Parks never had a peak
what peak?
>the office but LE GOVERNMENT
GAY

Aubrey Plaza was worse. And she ended up playing the same character ever since then. At least Rashida was cute in this.

As true for The Office as it is for Parks and Rec

Ron and Andy carried heavily for me.
The tammies lore is incredibly autistic and i loved every single second
aren't these basically the same joke? it was already tired because it's just Toby from The Office
It was pretty pretty good
I only watched the Ron episodes. I could not stand most of the cast (blonde lady, indian guy).

i stopped reading right here
So did everyone else, that was the end of the sentence you fricking moron

No. Frick the government
I have never watched comedyslop.
Is it as awful as it seems?
I was enjoying it then found Andy to be annoying then read that he's in the whole thing so skipped it
It's a same since I actually like the interactions
It was weird. It was just hoping it could copy The Officer's style almost completely to a T and be another massive hit. It felt very corporate and lame
mogged by community. both it and the office were mid but had shitty romcom hooks for female viewers
Amy Poehler is fricking hot to me for some reason.
It is a mystery
she did some movie where she was thick and gets in a pool in her underwear. kino
Watch some real government kino
Started getting kinda shaky right before Michael left.
I hated that Aubrey Place character.
