Wow, this is pretty big.




Michelle Obama to guest on 'Parks and Recreation'

I think the show has really found its footing again after a season or so of not being as good as it use to be. I was happy to see Jerry Garry Larry and Donna bumped up to series regulars this week.

weren't they always series regulars? they were just never in the opening sequence... i always wondered does one have to be considered a series regular for that?

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

You're probably right. I'm not quite sure how it works. I was just excited to see them in the credits!

[eatlasagna]

ME TOO!

oh i just had to say I could not stop laughing at Ben sitting on the Game of Thrones Iron Throne! that was hilarious... as was his nerdy response to the new star wars movie and needing a massage... haha

I loved Leslie's starship comment when she was walking up to Ben on the throne. This week's episode was ok... I just feel like the Music festival (that part actually made me cry) is a redux of the Harvest festival and the part with the angry old people has been done a few times on that show (The Elder Picnic).

I love this show but I'm not sure how I feel about the drastic casting changes. I'm starting to lose my suspension of disbelief that they all still work together though.

I feel like Chris Pratt has changed, Andy seems so much different. Maybe it's because he's an A-lister now.

As much as I LOVE Gary, I really feel like they are using him too much for dumb jokes.

Paul Schneider does not want to come back for a guest appearance.

Wow! That ending was a total surprise. I like the time jump. It was a fun gag to have Jon Hamm working for Leslie in those 3 years, and we only get to see him being fired. The filming and camera style seemed to change too, and of course the new set. Next season will be interesting!

^ I wasn't expecting the flash forward. It was a surprise. Next season will most likely be the last, but I'm proud of how long it's lasted.


Parks and Recreation’s Next Season Will ‘Fairly Likely’ Be Its Last

I really liked the idea of the time jump as well. We don't really need to see a whole season of pregnant Leslie, and this really allows them to make some big shifts without having to worry about "how could the character change like that within just a day or two of the show's time" criticisms.

Season 7 will be the last season. I'll be sad when it ends, but I'm very happy with how long the show has lasted.


'Parks and Recreation' to end after season 7

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

This is a great time to end the show. I'm happy it's going out like this rather than dragging on and on and on until it loses steam. I already thought this season was a bit uneven with some fantastic episodes and some irrelevant ones, but I think between the time jump and knowing this will be its final season, it's gonna have a lot of drive. I hope Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe make an appearance before the end of the show. It does suck we'll have to wait for midseason to see new episodes though, I hate the way NBC has treated the show in terms of scheduling, but yes, very happy they kept it around for so many seasons, I think 7 seasons is pretty spectacular.
