Didn't this get bunked as bullshit?

Just started watching this, am about halfway through Season 4. It's fantastic.

My top 10 Parks and Rec characters in order of how funny I find them:

1) Ron
2) Andy
3) Jean-Ralphio
4) Tom
5) Leslie
6) Ben
7) Chris
8) Ann Perkins
9) Jerry
10) Mark
10) Donna

Special mention to Perd Hapley.

Jean-Ralphio too high there

He shouldn't be on the list.

He's too annoying (and I know that is done on purpose but that doesn't make him more funny.)

Jean-Ralphio was the worst character until they introduced his sister

NBC Chairman says Parks gets a 7th season!!

Hmm, not really pleased about that. Source?

On the one hand, I love me some Parks, and it's still a good show. However, NBC ruined The Office by letting it go on far too long, and, as the quality of Parks has definitely been lower this season, I really don't want it to go the same way. Ann and Chris leaving in a few episodes time could shake things up, but I'd imagine it's more likely to mirror the effect of Steve Carell leaving The Office; when everything started to go downhill rapidly.

Edit- Lots of speculation that it would be a shorter (13 episodes) final season, which would be a solid way to allow them to wrap everything up.

Yeah in hindsight I would have preferred them ending with season 4. I don't like seeing Leslie fail.

Yea, it definitely feels 'done' now. Most plot threads seem to be floundering and although the writing is carrying it for now I don't think there's much left in the tank.

Can't say I'm enjoying this season. A few laughs obviously, but on the whole I can barely remember anything about this current season. 100% done imo and should have ended sooner on a high. Like someone said, it's just going to do what The Office did. Go from great to forgettable.

There is a comparison with The Office to be made, but Parks and Rec hasn't even come close to the lows Office reached before the end

True, but Office Season 6 was stronger than this is.

I'd say The Office went downhill around the end of S6. Still had funny moments throughout, and ended well, but I see P&R going the same way.

It was still entertaining.

Touching episode, had some funny moments as well. Next episode is on Feb 27th.

I think I've developed an unhealthy obsession with this. Only started watching it the other day and I'm already halfway through S3. I think it must be because each episode is just 20 minutes, it's got that 'just one more' thing about it.

What the hell, guys: Someone's stolen the Ben and Leslie padlock
