Parks and Recreation. Win, Lose Or Draw.

Parks and Recreation Season 4: Episode 22: “Win, Lose Or Draw” “You did the right thing by hiding under this table.” Congratulations to Pawnee Indiana’s newest city councilwoman …. Leslie Knope! It’s been a long, bumpy road to this episode and it was quite a nail biter all the way to the end. SPOILER ALERT: I am soooo glad that Leslie won tonight! We know that the producers of Parks & Rec shot multiple...

Parks and Recreation Season 4: Episode 21: “Bus Tour” Everybody says they care about the issues, but at the end of the day all anybody really wants is free clothing shot at them from a cannon. My favorite thing about this season of Parks and Recreation is how the election is a transparent game. Every move in the race is strategized and the playing field is dirtier than the Twister mat you played on...

Parks and Recreation. The Debate.

Parks and Recreation Season 4: Episode: 20: “The Debate” “I recently invested in some shirts I got at a garage sale. I left those at Wendy’s on the way home, so… the economy.” Finally, the Pawnee city council election is heating up! At long last Leslie met her corporate enemy Bobby Newport in a debate. Despite his apparent confusion about his surroundings, Bobby comes of as a real person that John Q. Dumbfuck could...

Parks and Recreation Season 5: Episode: 19: “Live Ammo” “This cat was in Boogie Nights?” Parks & Rec is back from it’s month long hiatus! “Hooray!” Unfortunately although the show itself is TECHNICALLY back, I can’t help but feel the comedy and spirit behind the show are still kind of on vacation. Hopefully this was a bummer episode before next week’s rocks our collective socks off! So yeah, I’m going to get harsh on...

Parks and Recreation. Lucky.

Parks and Recreation Season 4: Episode 18: “Lucky” “Usually tests scare me, but this is an oral exam and if there’s one thing I know, it’s my fantastic is talk.” Oh brother! I can’t believe The Dowager Countess was being so mean to Lady Crawley! And let me say finally, a television show is addressing the important social issue of dropsy. …Oh wait, sorry, you guys. This isn’t my Downton Abbey recap! Ahem. Let’s...

Parks and Recreation. Campaign Shake-Up.

Parks and Recreation Season 4: Episode 17: “Campaign Shake-Up” You remind me of my brother. He had the same name: Leslie. He lost a third of his body in a motorcycle accident – the middle third. But they sutured the hell out of him. He’s fine now, much shorter – but a good looking, young, flat man. A few weeks ago, Parks and Recreation introduced us to Leslie’s dim-witted election nemesis Bobby Newport, aka...

Parks and Recreation. Sweet Sixteen.

Parks and Recreation. Sweet Sixteen.

Parks and Recreation Season 4: Episode 16: “Sweet Sixteen” “I’m also volunteering for Wheels for Meals on Wheels. …We repair vans for Meals on Wheels.” It’s that magical time of year, Character Graders, when all the sitcoms have their special Leap Day episodes. I swear the Leap Day fervor starts earlier every year. Sure, a lot of it’s crass and commercialized and obscures the true meaning of Leap Day, but every once a while...

Parks & Recreation. Dave Returns.

Parks and Recreation Season 4: Episode 15: “Dave Returns” “Been a long time, eh Cap’n? Or Captain? Or OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN, from Dead Poet’s Society.” Is there anything more awkward than bumping into your ex? I wouldn’t know, as I have had no previous human relationships! But television has taught me this strange emotion called love, and also that old flames can return on a whim, sometimes during February sweeps, as Big Time...

Parks and Recreation. Operation Ann.

Parks and Recreation Season 4: Episode 14: “Operation Ann” Tom, this is a publicly funded couple’s dance. I don’t think it’s appropriate for people to be ‘getting wet with sound.’ Hey who’s ready for the continuing adventures of Leslie Knope running for town council against celebrity funnyman Paul Rudd?  Nah never mind. It’s an Ann episode. After Parks & Rec abandoned the storyline of Leslie raising funds to fill in the unseemly giant pit...

Parks and Recreation. Bowling For Votes.

Parks and Recreation Season 4: Episode 13: “Bowling for Votes” “You should be warned — if you do not vote for me, my boyfriend might beat you up.” Bowling! It’s the national past-time of Fat America. Where I’m from, Connecticut, the local bowling alley is the town’s social center for Latinos and Hispanics alike! But seriously, I’m kind of an expert on bowling, as I did a report on it in high school. Why...
