Parks and Recreation

A really funny show. First two seasons on Netflix. I love it! <3 It's from the creators of the Office (which I also love). This show and The Office are my favorites.

LOVE Amy Poehler. But... meh.

It just seems like a rip-off of The Office. I know it's by the same creators, but if you're going to make a show, don't make its format an exact duplicate as another one.

Thank you. This is exactly how I feel about the show.

Yeah, same. I watched most of Season 1 and the protagonist was basically just Michael Scott, minus the penis.

Just like The Office, I watch this show once in a blue moon. It's really good and they have great underappreciated actors like Adam Scott and Rob Lowe.

Adam Scott is on it? Good enough to make me watch an episode.

Actually, I kinda disagree. I've watched both shows over and over and over, and there's a difference between Leslie and Michael. Michael is just incredibly stupid, socially incapable, a slacker, nuisance, and he usually pisses people off. Leslie is bright, has great ideas, works hard at her job, doesn't annoy people (or at least as much as Michael), doesn't piss people off, and she has more social smarts than Michael does. She's also more jumpy and likable that Michael Scott is portrayed as.
