Parks and Recreation is an American comedy television series that debuted on NBC on April 9, 2009. It was co-created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, part of the creative team on the NBC version of The Office. The series follows Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), the Deputy Director of the Parks and Recreation department in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana.[1] Knope takes on a project with a nurse named Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) to turn an abandoned construction pit into a park, while trying to navigate her way through the politics of local government.
The series follows the ambitions of perennially upbeat mid-level bureaucrat Leslie Knope, on her quest to better the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana.[4] As deputy director of the city's Parks and Recreation Department, her sense of enthusiasm is rarely shared by her unmotivated colleagues, who include the wisecracking Tom Haverford, the placid city planner Mark Brendanawicz, the deadpan antigovernment department head Ron Swanson, and his apathetic assistant April Ludgate. Leslie's best friend is local nurse Ann Perkins, whom she meets when Ann's boyfriend, Andy Dwyer, falls into a large pit near Ann's house. Leslie takes on the quest to turn the pit into a park, which becomes her ultimate personal project. However, she finds herself repeatedly frustrated by bureaucrats and townspeople who stand in her way. While the pit-park storyline occupied the show's first season, the pit was filled in during second season.
The series debut was met with mixed reviews from critics.[12] Entertainment Weekly praised the series, stating, While I laughed out loud only a few times during Parks' pilot, I dug the performances, the attitude, and the atmosphere that's being created. One would be foolish to underestimate the series this early on. [13] Metacritic assigned a rating of 59/100 based on 25 reviews.[12] A less favorable review from Robert Bianco of USA Today said that the show never expends enough energy to even approach funny .[14] Jonathan Storm of The Philadelphia Inquirer dismissed the series, saying, Parks and Recreation emerges a miscast mess .[15]
