I know I’m late to the game on this, but can I just say how much I love Parks and Recreation! Keith and I are in the middle of season 4, and each episode is even funnier and more tightly written than the next. We tried watching it when it originally aired, but thought it was too close to The Office to watch. We were wrong. Duh. I think it’s so much better. 

I love the characters, and want to be Leslie Knope’s BFF (not just because we share a name but because she is an amazingly optimistic feminist). Or Ron Swanson’s, just because I know he would be a good person to have on my team in case of a zombie apocalypse. I also love how it reminds me of my time in local government – the situations and the personalities are eerily similar. “Literally.”
