Hey,

Todays topic is Parks and Recreation. P and R is a show that is very similar to the office in the way that it is filmed, and edited. P and R  follows characters that work in the local P and R department. In the first episode, the main character Leslie Knope is informed of a large pit that is dangerous. For the rest of the first season, Leslie Knope and her team try to get the pit turned into a park. The first season ended in a cliff hanger.

I really like this show, but I wish that the humor was more like the office. Most of the humor in P and R is about sex, or people being drunk. Also, the first season was very short. I hope that the show will come back soon. I miss it already. Another thing that could be done, is that the episodes don’t seem to carry the story very far. Amy Poehler must have no shame to do some of the things that she does on the show. It is so hilarious when Leslie is drunk! I think that is hilarious. Another character that I love is the girl friend of the guy who fell in the pit and broke both of his legs.

This show is slightly controversial, because some people who are involved in local government think that it is poking fun at their jobs. What I think that everyone needs to understand is that it is just trying to be funny. The point is to be funny not offend anyone. And most of the jokes are about Leslie being a weirdo and drunk people, not about actually government.

I wish that the emphasis was not as much on dating, as the story line or jokes that are actually funny. All in all Parks and Recreation is great show, that just needs some work.
