I'm rewatching Parks and Rec as I type and I just forgot how stupidly hilarious this show is. I can't help but love Leslie Knope despite my own usually pessimistic outlook!

I'm on season 4, it's the one where Leslie is being interviewed in an airport by Buddy Wood played by the fabulous Sean Hayes. Last episode was the introduction of the funny as hell Jennifer Barkley and I've been in stitches all evening.

TV shows just aren't made like this anymore. Do you guys have a favorite episode/character?

In season 1, April makes a social media page for the pit. Leslie has an unveiling and they note that The Pit already has 6 friends. One of them is Mark.

They notice that Mark has lots of half dressed women on his profile. Leslie suggests that they might be his family. Ann suggests that maybe fake boobs run in his family.

No big deal, it’s the typical strange insistence in season 1 that Mark is a womanizer, despite his vanilla vibes. But the strange thing is that April notes that his favorite movie is “Dances with Wolves” and laughs about it.

Now I haven’t seen “Dances with Wolves” in over 20 years, but I do remember it being a pretty terrific movie. What’s the joke?

Only one digit away from the Number of the Beast. RIP Nick Offerman’s mustache.

The foreshadowing of Leslie having Triplets

,🎶Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious. 🎶

In the episode Ron and Tammy part 2 , I love the rapid fire of the police officers describing the altercation. I don't why it just always makes me laugh when I see it. I love how they all end it with 'Real piece of work...'

This is just my opinion.

Andy and Leslie and also Andy with Donna.

Leslie and Andy working together in the whole Greg Pikitis was freaking hilarious.

And Donn and Andy are also a fun duo. Donna winking at Andy after he gave het the codename “It happened once in a dream.” And her listing to Andy recapping movies.

April with both Ben and Chris. Watching her have scenes with either of them is just so great.

Ron and Ann, this is definitely one of the most underrated duos of the entire show.

I was reading an interview about rashida from early in the summer (about her Apple tv show Sunny) and I wasn't sure if anyone else had seen this but this was interesting...

"When I ask Jones what’s coming next for her, she rhymes off a flurry of goals, which include gardening, writing, being a mom, and reuniting with her Parks and Recreation co-stars to work on a much-hyped reunion. “Amy [Poehler] and everybody really want to feel like there’s a reason to assemble the Parks people and that there’s an organic calling for the characters, but there’s a whole universe to explore still that nobody’s even seen. So yeah, everybody’s ruminating,” she says.

Jones also has another sci-fi project coming out, a film called In the Blink of an Eye, directed by Andrew Stanton."

Premieres 11/12.

I think it's bound to be amazing.

Looking for a couple more mods. DM me.

Even in the medical field!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share a quick update. I had been banned on Reddit because I was messaging links to you guys, and the Parks and Rec admins won’t allow me to post the link to my project. I originally made these extended Parks and Rec episodes with deleted scenes just for myself, but I thought other fans might enjoy them too. Since sharing has been tricky, I won’t be posting them anywhere that’s inconvenient for me.

If you do manage to find my Telegram or Discord channels on your own, feel free to join. Here are the names:

Telegram: Parks and Recreation Extended

Discord: Parks and Recreation Extended

Once you have the episodes, you’re welcome to do whatever you like with them. Just hoping fellow fans can enjoy these extended episodes too.
