Parks and Recreation will always hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life. It has such a dedication to its persistent sunny optimism that it will always bring a smile to my face, even on my worst days. But the show is so much more than just cheerful characters having

Tom Haverford is probably the character that changes the most over the course of seven season of Parks and Rec. I mean, he is still obsessed with being a “baller.” Can I say that without sounding tremendously white? I don’t think I can. Anyway, as I’ll get into on my Tom supplemental post (that’ll be

Almost every nugget of Nick Offerman is a shining diamond, and I am having such a hard time narrowing it down to one. So I’m not gonna. I’m just going to leave a bunch of gifs and watch them in awe. Okay, I’d better stop here, or else all you will see is essentially every

In a similar manner to Chris Traeger, Leslie Knope is so much more relatable when she is not necessarily on her A-game, and luckily, we get to see that side of her more often than we do with Chris. I mean, she is the main character, after all. My favorite not-perfect moment from Leslie comes

It would be ridiculously easy to just pick one of the many times Garry fucks up throughout the show because I feel like Parks and Rec could have just as easily been the “Garry Fucks Up” documentary series, but none of these are even close to my favorite. Plus, it doesn’t fit with my theme

I truly love Donna with every fiber of my being. She’s smart, complex, talented, confident, and beautiful, and she steals every scene she’s in. Sadly, there aren’t many gifs of my two favorite Donna moments – no, I could not eliminate one of them – but I do have screenshots! After Chris Traeger takes over

The best version of Chris Traeger is the vulnerable Chris Traeger, and I will fight you on that. His struggles with mental illness just felt so real, and I could identify with that, not his Perfection Incarnate version. I think that’s why Ann had such a hard time dating him; he put on such a

Any time Adam Scott reacts into the camera, it brings me such joy. The other actors do this, as well, but his incredulous expressions are just so reminiscent of my own internal – and often external, because I cannot hide them – reactions to the ridiculous shit that other human beings do. His observations of

After Tom, who I’ll cover at the end of the month, April changes the most throughout Parks and Recreation. Aubrey Plaza plays her so naturally that seeing her mature into the weird adult she becomes doesn’t seem at all out of place. Plus, she rabidly holds onto her edge in later seasons, as shown by

Normally, pregnancy storylines bore me because we know all the moments that are going to be touched on: Finding out the sex of the baby Random crying because hormones How life will change once the baby comes Names I’m getting fat. Will you still like me? Feel free to add as many other milestones you
