I think all the minor characters have already been named, but I just had to stop in to say that Parks and Rec is the best sitcom ever put on TV by one of the big 3 networks.

I love Eagleton Ron, specifically for the scene where Swanson realizes that they aren't exactly alike, but actually polar opposites.

That scene pretty much sums up my experience moving up to Boston for grad school

Ok this thread has done it. Restarting the series from the beginning (well, maybe season 2, sorry Brendanowicz)

This show was so badass that the correct answer is: Everyone is correct.

Like Frick, I'll probably watch the whole thing again.

For a show that is so good, it's kind of incredible how awful Season 1 is

We restarted it a few weeks ago. I have seen every episode 3 or 4 times by now and I still laugh out loud at joke I know are coming.

How about some love for Ethel Beavers and Councilman Houser

P&R took about 3 seasons to really get good.

Friends was great from the get go, and lasted longer with very little drop off.

Disagree about no drop-off and no Friends moments come close to the highs of Parks. Friends is a fun show, but it's thin and repetitive. Parks is deep with some very genuine emotional moments.

Friends is an all time great no doubt but it's not holding up as well as I thought. Not even close to Seinfeld on rewatches.

Oh there was drop off, but it wasn't very big. (See: Entourage, HIMYM, etc)

Friends has it's dips... I'd say from the start of season 2 until the end Parks had very few duds. It was consistently great.

Friends first 3 or 4 seasons are some of the most relatable tv ever for a post grad ages 22-34. It was very original and attacked that culture better than any other show before it or after.

After season 3 or 4 though it got pretty corny. You can't tell how far into the series you are almost instantly by how whiny Ross is.

Huge Friends P1 but its not near the show that Parks is. Id also put it behind Scrubs. But lets not derail a great thread.

Yeah, it definitely went downhill after the first few seasons. The writers started trotting out every sitcom trope and clich imaginable

Friends lost elite status when Monica and Chandler's relationship became the center of the show, then dropped to just being average as soon as Rachel got knocked up.

The absolute high point, emotionally, was "she's his lobster," which was a great moment, but even that falls way short of dozens of P&R moments. Leslie's wedding, her election acceptance speech, the whole finale... all easily superior. The whole team really knew how to make a moment land.

And Jen Barkley, but I like pretty much everything Kathryn Hahn does.

And Louis CK's Officer Dave.

Parks and Rec is Mike Schur, not Greg Daniels.

My vote is for Perd.

Schur was show runner, but Greg Daniels co-created it with Schur.
