For the past week and a half, I’ve been watching Parks and Rec’s first season. Because it’s only six episodes, that means I’ve had to watch it three times.
It’s delightful, though, a fact which hits you somewhere around the middle of the season, and which sustains easily through three viewings. I woke up this morning with the theme song in my head.
Karen from The Office (Rashida Jones) is much more likeable as Ann, and Amy Poehler is more hilarious as an optimistic small-town bureaucrat than she was even as Tina Fey’s Baby Mama. Nick Offerman as Ron may be the most hilarious character on multiple viewings, as the libertarian head of Leslie Knope’s department who doesn’t believe in “big government,” but even deadbeat boyfriend-of-Ann Andy grows on you after awhile.
So go watch it, and laugh and then watch the commentaries. Then watch it again, and if you’re like normal TV-watching people, by then it will be about time for the second season to come out on DVD.
Tell your friends.
