ABOUT PARKS AND RECREATION
From Emmy Award-winning executive producers Greg Daniels (NBC’s “The Office,” “King of the Hill”) and Michael Schur (NBC’s “The Office,” “Saturday Night Live”), “Parks and Recreation” is a hilarious ensemble comedy that follows Leslie Knope (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Amy Poehler, NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” “Baby Mama”), a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, and her tireless efforts to make her quintessentially American town just a little bit more fun.

Definitely crying when it's over

[@zazum596]

Already crying tbh

[@bwarella]

Zaha Merlaud Seconded

*"This show is like the mafia, and you can't escape it"*
Hahaha, I love Amy!

[@smacbot]

I love how she starts off serious, then gets bored and starts improvising. She is one of the few actresses i can think of that is as equally funny as her character, though in a different way.

"Nobody ever leaves" Except for Mark Brendanawicz

[@MenacingThreat]

I actually loved that guy! I missed him in season 7...

[@tjflanagan4527]

Kate McCarthy he was my least favorite

[@adamkalb1]

He had no motivation because as a character, he was changed a lot from his original concept, and it was difficult for Paul Schneider to grasp his motivations. He never wanted to return, even though Michael Schur gave him that option. July 13, 2020, 2:35am

"Mark studied city planning in college and he had goals that involved building cities. Unfortunately, he got a job as a city planner in Pawnee, Indiana." I read about this from Screenrant. While I would be happy for his success in joining Norton Construction to finally do that, I am still very disappointed that we do not get to see how far he has come with that 5-to-7 years later. Mark Brendana-quits, forgotten but not gone. August 27, 2020, 2:28pm

[@davidjarrett7486]

I cried when i saw one last ride in season 7, great show gonna be sad to see it over.

[@UtsavBansal]

Leslie Knope for President!

[@jonmann4980]

No

[@joemama-vs2dw]

Yes

[@jonmann4980]

Why?
She's a dirty feminist.

[@neilbusmente4506]

[@adamkalb1]

I love that Inside Out came out the following summer to Parks and Recreation's series finale. July 13, 2020, 2:36am

[@PoseidonMade]

I love hearing their thoughts on the last season! It's a shame that it has to end but I'm sure it'll be a great one! Thanks for these fantastic six (soon to be seven) seasons, and I wish you all well!

[@Iheartjareddiamond]

[@kiwichlofro3733]

I love Amy so much she is so funny I can't wait to see what she does next !

[@lukesantosfilming]

BRING SEASON 8!!!

[@NicolasTylerDoyle]

i feel like they could have had maybe 5-6 more episodes to flesh things out a bit more.
kinda felt a tiny bit rushed. but i loved the last season, so so funny.

[@aaroNiGHTS]

Will Mark be back?

[@latrellwilliams5569]

[@clol159]
