Parks and Recreation - Season 6 (NBC) (1 Viewer)

Can we just all pretend that Chris Bauer's character from last night's episode was Frank Sobotka in the witness-relocation program?

"We used to make shit in Pawnee, build shit. Now we just put our hand in Eagleton's pocket."

 

[Joe_H]

Wow, I was trying to figure out all night where I knew him from but just never connected that dot.

 

[Sam Favate]

New episode tonight? I think so, but not sure.

 

[TravisR]

^ It is a new one tonight.

"This twerp has a name, and it is August N(!)utu Liebowitz Clementine."

 

[TravisR]

How has this show built to the point that Derry Murbles has a nemesis? And more importantly, why the hell do I even know that character's name?

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Ben and Jerry/Larry's man-date made the episode for me.

Happy to see that Jim O'Heir and Retta got promoted to the main credits.

Yeah, I easily could've watched 90 more minutes of staid public-radio sniping between those guys. Dan Castellaneta staring daggers at Hodgman while keeping his tone absolutely even was incongruent. Humorously incongruent!

(Also, I can totally relate to the need for a Star Wars sequel trilogy stress-relieving massage.)

I've seen every episode, but I can't remember when April and Donna started working in the animal dept. and they kept their jobs in Parks? I guess it's a function of so much time between episodes.

Anyway, I read the season finale is April 24, and guest stars Michelle Obama. The show is expected back for a seventh season, which could be the last.

If I remember correctly, Animal Control got rolled into the Parks Department last season or earlier this season so I guess their new duties are part of that. I think this is the first time that you've seen them doing anything outside of the Parks office though.

The show is expected back for a seventh season, which could be the last.

Yeah, I assume that most of the cast's contracts are up after seven years so with most of them destined for movie careers (Pratt might actually be on the way to legit movie stardom), I'm thinking that most of them will be moving on from TV work.

Best anniversary present ever!!

"Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my son, John [Middle Name Redacted] Swanson. John was born some time ago, weighing multiple pounds and several ounces. Much like his father, he is a fan of silence.""The Kool-Aid Guy makes it look so easy.""It's like listening to a TED talk by the color beige."...And there's the escape hatch for Leslie when it's series-finale time.I feel like the solution to keeping Leslie in Pawnee for a year is pretty simple: she accepts the job, but the Federal government delays opening the new office for a year because, unlike 100 actual Leslie Knope projects, the Federal government is never ahead of schedule.(That said, I'd love to see Leslie trying to take on stuff here in Chicago. I think she'd scare even Rahm.)

Also, it's a total shame April's suggestion for the Unity Concert -- Oren dislocating his shoulder to the music of Billy Joel -- got shot down.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

"GO AHEAD AND STING ME, BEES! IT DOES NOTHING!""Most people in this world, John, are assholes."

 

[TravisR]

You guys used up all the good quotes. I especially loved the Kool-Aid and asshole lines.

 

[Citizen87645]

I'm getting tired of the screaming guy. He needs to expand his repertoire.

 

[joshEH]

I like him, but I was already familiar with "Billy on the Street" before he joined P&R, so I knew his schtick already. That said, I can totally see other people wanting a slightly-toned-down version, too.

(I liked the recent comments at the AV Club determining that "SOME Craig" was the best amount of Craig.)

 

[TravisR]

I rarely laugh out loud but Andy thinking that Ron had a twin was amazing. As was Ron quickly trying to use Andy's excuse.

Having a guy named Jewish Greg replace China Joe is a genius joke for the fans who watch too closely.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

I'm always amazed at how they manage to walk the tightrope with the Andy character, who could so easily fall into the trap of becoming an oafish buffoon. The show always manages to find a stranger, more unique window into Andy's perception of the world around him. His list of secrets had me absolutely dying.

Officially renewed for Season 7
