Welcome back to Pawnee, Mouse Rat fans! Parks and Recreation returns to NBC on September 26 2013 at 8 p.m (7pm Central)  Parks and Recreation is a show about the people working for the city (mostly the Parks department) of Pawnee, Indiana. Leslie: A hundred and fifty years ago an interracial couple was married here and then slaughtered by their own families. It's one of the most beautiful stories in Pawnee's history. THE TOWN  Pawnee is a character of its own in the show. It's known for being the home to Sweetums (If you can't beat 'em, Sweetums!), and for its City Hall murals. Leslie, reading a list of Pawnee's town mottos: Pawnee, the Paris of America. Pawnee, the Akron of southwest Indiana. Pawnee, welcome, German soldiers. After the Nazis took France our mayor kind of panicked. Pawnee, the factory fire capital of America. Pawnee, welcome, Vietnamese soldiers. Pawnee, engage with Zorp. For a brief time in the '70s, our town was taken over by a cult. Pawnee, Zorp is dead. Long live Zorp. Pawnee, it's safe to be here now. Pawnee, birthplace of Julia Roberts. That was a lie, she sued and so we had to change it. Pawnee, home of the world famous Julia Roberts lawsuit. Pawnee, welcome, Taliban soldiers. And finally, our current slogan: Pawnee, first in friendship, fourth in obesity. Leslie: We're overrun with raccoons and obese toddlers. Like all great towns, Pawnee has a neighboring town that hates each other's guts. Pawnee has Eagleton. Leslie: The only thing Eagleton beats us in is life expectancy, beauty pageants and average income. Who cares? THE CAST  Amy Pohler plays Leslie Knope, the second in command of the Parks and Recreation department. Leslie: I am big enough to admit I am often inspired by myself Leslie: There are very few things I have asked for in this world. To build a new park from scratch, to eventually become president and to one day solve a murder on a train. Although Leslie reports to Ron, she's the driving force behind the Parks department. She does the majority of the work, and she keeps the entire department together. She's dedicated, optimistic and well-loved. Her mother is a local powerful politician and her inspiration. She's also really, really good at her job. Ron: Leslie has a lot of qualities I find horrifying. But the worst one by far is how thoughtful she can be. At the end of the third season Leslie was approached about running for City Council. She agreed, and temporarily broke up with Ben to pursue her dream, before saying screw it and got together with Ben anyway. She won the election at the end of season 4, and throughout season 5 both kept up her job in the Parks Department while holding down her city council seat. Ben: I don't know if you knew this, but Leslie was born in Eagleton! Leslie: Do not blame me for the sins of my mother! Oh yeah, she also hates Eagleton with every fibre of her being. At the end of last season, Leslie was facing a reall election when the city turned against for for being TOO effective. But we cant' finish talking about Leslie until we mention the most important person in her life...  Ben Wyatt, played by Adam Scott. Ben: When I was 18, I ran for mayor of my small town and won. Little bit of anti-establishment voter rebellion I guess. Here's the thing, though, about 18 year olds. They're idiots. So I pretty much ran the place into the ground and after two months got impeached. Worst part was my parents grounded me. Ben came to Pawnee at the end of season 2 with Chris to intervene in Pawnee's budget crisis. They ended up shutting down the Parks department all together, until Leslie campaigned to bring the department back, and agreed to let her run the Harvest Festival, which generated income for the department. Chris and Ben were eventually hired onto the city's staff full time, so Ben became Leslie's boss. Ben has a great political mind, is extremely practical, is terrified of policemen, and is a huge nerd. April: Are you busy? And writing Star Trek fan fiction doesn't count. Ben: Haha. And I finished that last week After Ben and Leslie got back together in the middle of season 4, he had to resign in disgrace, he successfully ran Leslie's City Council campaign, which got the attention of Leslie's rival's campaign manager, Jen Barkley. For the first half of season 5, Ben was working for Jen in Washington DC. But midway through the season, he made another decision. Leslie: Oh my God. What are you doing? Ben: Thinking about my future. I am deeply ridiculously in love with you. And above everything else, I just want to be with you forever. Leslie: Wait, wait. I need to remember this. Wait, just hold on. I need to remember this. I need to remember every little thing about how perfect my life is at this exact moment. Ben: Leslie Knope, will you--- Leslie: YES! Ben: Marry me? Leslie: Oh yeah, yeah!   Ben and Leslie were married a few months later, and he also finally got closure on that whole teen mayor thing, too. Ben took a job working for Sweetums' nonprofit branch while helping Tom out with his new business.  Tom Haverford is played by Aziz Asnari. Tom is Leslie's right-hand man, and he has 15 penises. Tom used to be part owner in the Snakehole, Pawnee's hottest club, until Chris made him sell his share, since it was considered a conflict of interest with his City job. He also invented Snake Juice, a surprisingly good alcoholic beverage. Tom: Parents, are you tired of watching your middle school aged children grow out of the nice clothes you buy them? Then rent them! From Rent A Swag! You rent it. You wear it. You clean it. You return it. I get rich! In season four, Tom quit his job with the Parks department in order to form media empire Entertainment 720 with his best friend, Jean-Ralphio. He returned to the Parks Department when E720 went bankrupt, but last season came up with a brand new idea - Rent-A-Swag, which rents trendy clothes to teen boys. The business ended up doing really well, and the end of last season came with a Rent-A-Swag buyout offer. Leslie: Tom Haverford is a selfish, sleazy, self-promoting, good-hearted, secretly kind and wonderful tiny, little person. When Tom rejected the buyout offer, the unknown buyer decided to run his open his own version of Rent a Swag instead. Tom: Take the easy way out. I always do! It's easy! Tom is also the owner of DJ Roomba. Or, he was, until DJ Roomba was killed by Jerry in a horrible moving accident. RIP, DJ Roomba.   Ann Perkins is played by Rashida Jones. Ann is Leslie's best friend, and until recently, the only character who didn't work at City Hall. Then Leslie landed Ann a part-time job as the Public Relations Manager of the city's Health Department. She's also a nurse at the Pawnee hospital, now part-time also so she can handle both jobs. April: Hey, Ann, are you still a nurse or did they fire you because you slept with all the doctors?. Ann used to date Andy in the first season, then Mark Brendanawicz in the second season, and Chris for a few months in the third season, until he dumped her, and then Tom at the end of the fourth season. Last season, though, after spending awhile working on herself and deciding what she wanted out of life, she made a decision. Ann: Is that a drawing of my reproductive system saying "let's do this"? Ann decided she wanted a baby. And after looking at the candidates Pawnee had to offer, she decided Chris would be the perfect father. At the end of last season, Ann and Chris were working on getting her pregnant, and quasi-dating again at the same time. Ann and Leslie's best-friendship is one of the hearts of the show, though. Leslie really loves Ann, and they depend on each other for help and support. Leslie: Ann, you are such a good friend. You are a beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox. Thank you, ox, for keeping this ship afloat. Leslie: Your ambiguous ethnic blend perfectly represents the dream of the American melting pot.  Rob Lowe is Chris Traeger. Leslie: Chris is the most positive state budget auditing consultant I've ever met. I mean, I made eye contact with him and it was like staring into the sun. Chris is literally the most positive person in existence. Chris: You and I will embark in a quick session of heart-rate meditation, focusing on conscious breathing and opening the heart shakra. Ron: I'm not sure I'm interested in that. No, I am sure, I'm not interested in that. After the old city manager had a heart attack, Chris was asked to step in as City Manager, and he gladly accepted. This kept Chris in Pawnee, and also Ben, who was given the position of Assistant City Manager. Not surprisingly, Chris' uber positivity has all been a cover for the terror he felt in his heart for growing older or failing at anything. After being rejected by Ann and dumped by Jerry's daughter Millicent, and realizing that he's mortal, last season was a rebuilding year for Chris. Chris: A few months ago the thought of an infectious disease, even hypothetical, would have sent me careening toward Bummer-town, but now I'm infected with a deadly virus. And I feel fine! Chris started intensive psychotherapy, which really brought him around after his dark season last year. Chris really rediscovered himself, which lead Ann to see him in yet another all new light. After taking some time to think about it, Chris decided he was ready for Fatherhood and a rekindled relationship with Ann. Chris: I don't know if you know this, but things with fat in them taste way better than things that don't!  Andy Dwyer is played by Chris Pratt. Andy originally was dating Ann when the show started, but now he's married to April. Ron: Of all my coworkers [Andy] is one of a small number of whom I do not actively root against...uh, there I go again gettin' all sappy. Andy is in a band, which is currently called Mouse Rat, but that's subject to change at any moment. Also they kicked him out for awhile last year for never showing up to practices or gigs. April manages the band and Andy's musical career. Ron: No home is complete without a proper toolbox. Here's April and Andy's: A hammer, a half eaten pretzel, a baseball card, some cartridge that says Sonic and Hedgehog, a scissor half, a flashlight filled with jellybeans. Andy realized in season 4 what it was he always wanted to do, like his alter ego, Burt Macklin, Andy wanted to go into law enforcement. Sadly, although he did great on some aspects of the exam, his total lack of common sense kept him out of the force. Andy: I can never tell if people are lying to me. I hope that doesn't come up in my police work. He now helps Ben at Sweetums, realizing he had a great gift for Charity. April and Andy also adopted Champion, a three-legged dog.  Donna: Andy will never be the new Jerry. Nothing embarrasses him. He is like a giant puppy with no shame.  Aubrey Plaza is April Ludgate. April is the youngest member of the Parks & Rec department, originally just interning for community college credit, she eventually took the job as Ron's assistant. Last season, she took time out to intern with Ben in Washington DC, but then on her return to Pawnee was handed the Animal Control department, after showing a great aptitude for working with animals. Ron: I need to find someone to fill in for April. Now I know I'm not going to find someone who's both aggressively mean and apathetic. April really is the whole package April also is one of the few people that Ron really likes, and they have a great boss/employee relationship based upon apathy and hatred of others. April (to Ron): I don't want to do things. I want to not do to things like you taught me. In season two, April and Andy fell for each other, but didn't start dating until a few episodes into season three after some bumps in the road. A few weeks later, they were married. April, to Andy, at their wedding: I guess I kind of hate most things. But I never really seem to hate you. So I want to spend the rest of my life with you, is that cool? At the end of the season, April was accepted into Veterinary school, in Bloomington, which means she'd be spending time apart from Andy and the Parks department. April: I only tell the truth when it makes me sound like I'm lying. April Ludgate was born in Björk’s house in Iceland and grew up on Easter Island, where her parents were giant stone heads. She has the ability to fire beams of tacos out of her hands and she can turn her legs into tigers. On Sundays, April enjoys reading Family Circus and traveling through time. Her favorite color is greenish-transparent and her favorite movie is the one you just watched.  Retta Sirleaf is Donna Meagle. Ben: I guess we'll just set fire to the studio or something. Leslie: Oh that's so sweet, I've never had a boyfriend willing to commit arson for me before. Donna: It gets old. Donna loves three things: South American men, double-shots and her car, a Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV. She is also part owner of The Snakehole (which Chris doesn't know about, so she still has her share). She's technically adept, using her secret backups to save the Parks department from certain disaster (mostly Jerry). Donna once donated money to David Duke, because he promised to lower taxes. She also loves tweeting. Donna: If you don't like what I'm tweeting then don't follow me. Morris: What are you doing? Donna: I'm live tweeting this dumbass conversation. Donna and Tom are good friends, and once a year have a special Treat Yo Self day. Otherwise... Donna: The Meagles are cold people. She wouldn't admit it, but she really cares about Leslie, to the point of making the ultimate sacrifice... her Benz in order to help Leslie win the election. Donna: I have several men in rotation. One's waiting for me out in the car. Don't worry I rolled down the window. Donna can't speak Italian and she hates Jean-Ralphio and her brother Levondrius.  Jim O'Heir plays Jerry Gergich. Jerry is the department's resident punching bag. Ben: Well, Jerry was never the type to rise above mediocrity. Or to it. April: Can you Photoshop your life with better decisions, Jerry? Jerry has many loves. Burritos, public urination, his three truly beautiful daughters, the same pair of stained khakis, and creating beautiful murinals. On the plus side, he is an excellent pianist and painter, but nobody cares about that. Last year we got to meet Jerry's wife, Gayle, who is played by none other than Christie Brinklie. Jerry also retired last year, but he still comes into the Parks department a few times a week to help out. Voluntarily. Leslie: As much as we want this to happen, we can't just let Jerry disappear! He also had some medical problems last year... Tom: I just want to hear the doctor say that Jerry had a fart attack! Is that so much to ask? Don't feel too bad for Jerry though. Even Jerry has a Jerry. Kyle: I love the Umami flavor. Jerry: Stop being so pretentious Kyle. Also, there's this... Dr. Harris: That man has the largest penis I have ever seen. I actually don't even know if he has mumps, forgot to look. I was distracted... by the largest penis I have ever seen. In summary, this quote best sums up Jerry- Ron: Jerry's work is often adequate.   And now we come to the man himself, RON loving SWANSON played by Nick Offerman. Ron: In my opinion, not enough people have looked their dinner in the eyes and considered the circle of life. This is your dinner. His name is Tom. Ron is the head of the Parks Department. He's a staunch libertarian, accomplished woodworker, fisherman, hunter, and youth league basketball coach. He is a lover of breakfast foods, Ayn Rand, meat, and strong, dark haired women like Steffi Graff. He has all the toes that he has, let's leave it at that. Ron: You may have thought you heard me say I wanted a lot of bacon and eggs, but what I said was: Give me all the bacon and eggs you have. Ann: How many drinks of alcohol do you consume a week? Ron: One. Ann: That's it? One drink? Ron: One shelf. Ann: Do you exercise? Ron: Yes. Lovemaking and woodworking. Ann: Do you have any history of mental illness in your family? Ron: I have an uncle who does yoga. There are many things Ron Swanson hates. The Public. Birthdays. Personally identifiable information. Laws restricting freedom in any way. Most anything that isn't manly. And he definitely hates the Government. Diane: Hey, am I interrupting something important? Ron: Impossible. I work for the government. What Ron Swanson really hates, though, is his ex-wife, Tammy.  Tammy Swanson Two pops up occasionally. She is played by Nick Offerman's wife, Megan Mullaly. Ron: My ex-wife Tammy likes to check in every so often and make sure I'm doing OK. And if I am, she tries to gently caress everything up. Leslie: I know Tammy seems scary, but really she's just a manipulative, psychotic, library book pedaling, sex crazed she-demon. Also he hates... his first ex-wife, Tammy.  April: She's the cold distant mother I never had. I love her. Though he does love his mother, Tammy.  Also, he loves his new Girlfriend, Diane, played by Lucy Lawless, who he met, courted and, oops, accidentally got pregnant last year. Ron has a secret alter-ego, popular saxophonist and middle-aged-women hearthrob, Duke Silver. Only April, Tom and now Diane know his true identity. Ron has brought the department in under budget every year for the last six years. He suffers from a disorder known as "Sleep Fighting". He can carve a small harp out of a single piece of wood in one night, while drunk. There are no words to sum up the awesomeness of the Legend, Ron Swanson. Just see the graph below. Ron: I have been developing the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness for years. It's a perfectly calibrated recipe for maximum personal achievement. Categories include: Capitalism, God's way of determining who is smart, and who is poor. Crying, acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon. Rage. Poise. Property rights. Fish, for sport only, not for meat. Fish meat is practically a vegetable.  Download the Pyramid here There are a few other things Ron loves. He is loathe to admit it, but he really does like the other people in the Parks department. Especially Leslie. Ron: Before we go in there, I want to say something. You are a wonderful person. Our friendship means a lot to me. And you look very beautiful. Other notable citizens of Pawnee include:  News anchor Perd Hapley Ron: What the gently caress are you doing, Perd Hapley?  Tom's best friend Jean-Ralphio and his sister, Mona Lisa, who Tom dated last year. Jean Ralphio: She's the worst person in the world. Huge skank. Terrible. Thanks for hiring her. Tom: Gotta keep it in the family. Ben: But does it have to be THIS family? Local Reporter/Talk show host Joan Callamezzo Ben: Is she going to powder her vagina? Councilman Jamm, who is a slimy bastard and we all hate very much. Leslie: It is with a heavy heart that I say: we have been Jammed. And hometown hero / mascot, Lil' Sebastian. RIP Lil' Sebastian. You're 5000 Candles in the Wind. Oh, and in seasons 1 and 2 there was also city planner Mark Brendanaquits I mean, Mark Brendanawicz, but after he and Ann broke up and he realized he hated his job, he left to go work in the private sector. He's no longer on the show. FAQ  The first season - Is it bad? I heard it's bad. Or I saw the pilot and hated it, Should I watch this show?Some people think it is pretty bad, but with glimmers of hope that it'll get better, and every episode improves on the previous episode, until the sixth and final episode is actually pretty good. Do you HAVE to watch the first season? No. Should you? At some point, probably. It's only 6 episodes long and there are some great moments. Some people even enjoy it a lot! There's absolutely no question about watching the rest of the show. It's some of the greatest TV, ever, and if you do not watch them you are Jerry. Basically, most people suggest starting with season 2. Later, when you love the show, go back and watch season 1. If you watch season 1 first, just think of it as a six-episode pilot and the real show starts in season 2. I have never seen this show, how can I watch it!? The first four seasons are streaming on Netflix. It's also on Amazon Instant. Of course there are also DVDs. GO WATCH. NOW. Suggest an episode to start with right now! If you are only going to give the show one episode, go with The Fight. This was the 4th to last episode of season 3, and on most people's top 5. It's got almost everything that's awesome about Parks & Rec in it. Leslie & Ann's friendship, Tom's entrepreneurial spirit, The Snakehole, every cast member has something to do and they are ALL great in it, including Jean-Ralphio, April and Andy being  as gently caress, and Ron being awesome.

The Red Queen posted:Hooray! I know last season had a mid-season finale-style episode because they weren't sure if they'd get to finish the season out. Is this upcoming season the last, or is there a chance we'll see another? As far as I know, no decision has been made. I think unless the ratings go way, way south or Amy decides to leave, it's likely we'll get another season, but who knows, NBC is uh... unpredictable. RandallODim posted:I'm so excited! Yeah I had to go in and tell the database to repair itself for some reason, should have been fixed like 10 minutes ago, let me know if it's still not for you, it looks fixed for me.

This is true, and now been fixed, and also the Diane mention moved to a more natural place. Thank you for the correction, Zaggitz. I'm feeling like I need a gif of Diane, since she's probably going to be extremely important to Ron's character arc this season. I'll work on that tonight.

radlum posted:Saw it for Tatiana Maslany, loved seeing Sparks Nevada as Ron's lawyer. Great episode; I love this show, but is this out of order? what happened to that Eagleton guy that worked with Donna? I'm glad there's at least one other Sparks Nevada fan around. I was really hoping they'd have Trevor tell us where he's from. Screw it, I'm going to plug it since it's one of my favorite things and tangentially relates to P&R. The Thrilling Adventure Hour is a live show, that is put on monthly in LA. They also release the show as a podcast. The show is done in the style of old-timey radio, and each show consists for 3 - 4 segments. The first and last segment are always the same, the first being the space western, Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars. Marc Evan Jackson (the guy who plays Trevor Nelson, the lawyer on P&R) is Sparks Nevada, who is the marshal of Mars roughly 1000 years from now. He has a faithful blue-skinned, nanotech enhanced Martian companion, Croach the Tracker, played by Mark Gagliardi. He has an on-again/off again romance with the vigilante heroine The Red Plains Rider, played by Busy Phillips (most of the time) from Cougartown / Freaks and Geeks. The saloon barkeep is played by Scandal's Josh Malina. Oh and occasionally the hero of the outer reaches of Mars, Cactoid Jim shows up. Cactoid Jim is played by Nathan Fillion, because apparently he just can't stay away from a good space western. The first episode and a half are pretty slow, but it starts to pick up, and after about a half dozen episodes it turns into honestly one of the best things I've ever watched (or in this case, just listened to.) Also there's a few "spinoffs" of Sparks Nevada so you need to pay attention if you're going through just the Sparks episodes to catch those in order, too. Fillion's Cactoid Jim has 4 episodes, the USSA has two, the Troubleshooter and the Robot Rogues each have one. The other segment that's in every TAH show is Beyond Belief, which has Paget Brewster and Paul F. Tomkins as a pair of married, psychic supernatural mystery solvers. It's also usually really good. Sparks Nevada is serialized, you really can't skip around (including with the spinoffs), while Beyond Belief is not. The middle segment(s) vary in quality, I like Moonshine Hollow (which Offerman has guest starred in) and Amelia Aerhart. Fillion also has two episodes of his own character, Jefferson Reid - Ace American, that are pretty good. They also feature a ton of guest stars. Aubrey Plaza, Nick Offerman and Jim O'Heir have all guest starred in various TAH segments. I think Aubrey is the only P&R person to be in a Sparks Nevada episode, and she's in the first one (which, sadly, is by far the worst episode.) But both Danny Pudi and Yvette Nicole Brown have been in Sparks Nevada, if you like Community, along with lots of other people you probably know and love.

Amongst all the craziness today, this should be mentioned.... Parks & Rec is mostly on hiatus until the end of the year quote:This week's planned episode is being replaced by a repeat of The Voice, next week will feature an SNL Halloween clip show, and November 7 will offer a long-scheduled live episode of The Voice. Parks will then return on November 14, but only for two weeks, with back-to-back episodes airing that night and on November 21. (This means the show's planned Halloween/election episode will now air two weeks after Halloween and a week after Election Day.) After its two-week return, Parks disappears again, this time staying off the air completely until early 2014. NBC will fill the Parks time slot until then with a mix of football, a live broadcast of The Sound of Music, two weeks of The Sing-Off, and the hour-long return of Community on January 2. Unless NBC changes its mind, Parks will be back on January 9 in its new/old 8:30 p.m. time slot. So when it comes back, it'll be paired with Community it looks like. After the beating it's taking in the ratings vs. BBT, everyone should probably ready themselves for this being the last season.

A friend of mine got me a shoutout from Trevor Nelson this weekend. (She went to a Thrilling Adventure Hour show. You should listen to the Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast.}

Vulture just posted an oral history of the Cones of Dunshire. They want to have a playable game ready for GenCon next year and are going to try and get Adam Scott and maybe more of the cast there to play it. Looks like it's time to start saving up to go to GenCon.

Season 1 Season 2 For absolutely no reason at all, Aatrek closed my season 2 thread a month before season 3 and started his own for a few weeks. I objected and got the OP back for... Season 3 Season 4 Season 5 And this is season 6!
