Parks and Recreation


Decided to talk about one of my new favorite shows for today. Parks and Recreation I feel is kind of a sleeper hit. It's on it's 3rd season already but just recently has really been hitting it big in terms of viewers and such. 

Parks and Recreation is sort of filmed the same way as The Office and in many ways they are similar. But you have a camera crew filming these day to day operations of the characters and they give one on one interviews. However, they don't ever actually show the camera people like they do sometimes in The Office. So if you liked that filming style from The Office, this is a logical new show for you to watch alongside. Conveniently they are aired after one another.

In case you don't know, Parks and Recreation follows the Parks department of a small town in Indiana's government. The office is full of characters from crazy Leslie Knope, meat loving Ron Swanson, and weirdly metrosexual Tom Haverford. The show is full of these characters and they interact in such funny ways. I will say the humor isn't for everyone as, again, it's sort of in The Office style with improv in places and such. But if you like the Office definitely give Parks your attention, you won't be sorry.

I've been thinking what show I'll watch next, but I don't think it's going to be this one. I don't like the office very much either.

I don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't like this show.

Dont really enjoy the Office even when it wasn't just the American version. However I always give tv shows a far chance, this is going to be added to my watching list.

I tried to watch this show, but honestly I just couldn't get into it. Yes there were funny moments and it certainly isn't BAD.. but it's just not for me.

The Office is my favorite show of all time, hands down. I have seen only a couple episodes of Parks and Rec, and its alright, nothing special tho. But I will give it another chance! Maybe I am just so into the Office that nothing else seems good? haha
