Unbearable Television Show
by K. Jenkins
I could not bear the acting and there is a lack of a plot. I have never viewed anything so bad. I normally give my viewed DVD's to veteran's at the VA, but I love vet's to much to give them something this horrible.
5/5
Love it!
by pimsy (MA)
This is just a clever, funny show. The characters grow on you more and more as you watch. There should be more shows like this. Worth every penny!
4/5
This show really isn't that bad...
by M. Lu (Los Angeles, CA)
this is a very light-hearted series. it's the best show to watch when you're eating. it mite not be the greatest tv show ever, but it certainly isn't the worst tv show ever. i've been following the series and hope it won't get cancelled! there are worse shows out there that should be cancelled!

"Yes-We-Can" Spirit Meets "No We Can't" Bureaucracy
by Richard Hine (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001UG3BJK)
Back in 2008 there was much talk of a spinoff of The Office. Rashida Jones was attached. Would her Office character Karen Fillippelli be getting her own show? (Answer: no.)
Then, despite the involvement of Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, the line became "don't call it an Office spinoff." (Answer: too late.)
Then Amy Poehler quit SNL to headline the show.
Then Parks And Recreation debuted in April 2009 and people immediately ripped it apart for being too much like The Office (mockumentary style, workplace setting) or not like The Office enough (no Michael-Jim-Pam-Dwight... not even a Karen Fillippelli).
I have no idea how the show actually came about. But during the development process, there was also a rather inspirational Presidential campaign playing in the background of everyone's lives. A new day dawned in America. And somehow the non-Office-spin-off show that emerged was set in local government (the Pawnee, Indiana Parks & Recreation department). With a lead character who believes (perhaps, naively) that government can still be made to work for the people. With an emphasis on grassroots citizen involvement. And even a few raised voices at town hall meetings.
The show centers on Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope. And Poehler nails it. She's created a character who is intense, focused, tenacious, clueless and annoyingly lovable. Her efforts to turn a dangerous abandoned construction project (a.k.a. "the pit") into a community park are, in her mind, a launch pad for a future presidential bid. Her efforts are alternately helped and thwarted by an anti-government boss (played by Nick Offerman), her complicated feelings for her "ex-lover" colleague (Paul Schneider) who barely remembers their drunken, anciently historic one-night stand, and her fast-talking sub-committee partner-in-crime (Aziz Ansari), a walking bundle of ethical and marital immorality who is perpetually (but unsuccessfully) seeking an outlet.
Rashida Jones features prominently as Ann Perkins, the nurse who grudgingly gets drawn into the project and then pulled along by Leslie's can-do spirit and manic drive. Ann also has Andy, an injured boyfriend (Chris Pratt) to nurse. He broke both his legs falling into the pit and his been milking the situation ever since. Leslie is also using the project to help inspire April (Aubrey Plaza), the departmental intern (who knows how to create social networking embarrassments) and to impress her mother Marlene (Pamela Reed), who is far bigger player than Leslie in local politics.
Throughout Season One, Leslie and Ann become the double act who work most closely to move the project forward. It's an Abbott and Costello-like pairing, with Jones playing the straight foil to the antic Poehler. But as we get to know all the characters, more layers are revealed, especially as Schneider's character Mark Brendanawicz gets more drawn into the action and inspired by Leslie's undaunted spirit.
I wasn't always wowed by Amy Poehler on SNL. And I still haven't forgiven her for the fact that anytime I hear the name "Rick" I have to run around a couch for five minutes repeating the name incessantly. But Parks & Recreation is both a great ensemble show and the perfect showcase for Poehler's comic talents. In an age of recycled ideas in every TV format, from reality shows to regular sitcoms to primetime soaps to police procedurals, I'm not sure why people are so eager to dump on the "mockumentary" format. I happen to love mockumentaries. Some people thought the first episode of this series was the pits. But over the course of six episodes, Season One of Parks & Recreation turned into an uplifting tale with finely drawn characters and a whole lot of laughs. Hopefully one day, there will also be trees and benches and grass to enjoy.
Perhaps even a water feature.

$22 for 6 episodes? No Thanks!
by MakeMoney973 (San Fran)
Season 1 is only 6 episodes. Don't get tricked and think you are buying a whole season. This shouldn't cost more than $8-10. Insane.
