Parks And Recreation 7.10

Peter Serafinowicz. Complete departure from formula that doesn’t quite work as well as intended because it is so different. But it is funny (especially when Adam Scott is onscreen) and it is touching, as we get a real sense that this is a group of friends preparing to go their separate ways. 8/10

Parks And Recreation 7.8

John Balma. A wonderful story celebrating the bond between Leslie and April. Lovely. And funny as all get out. Particularly the b-story with Andy, Ron and Ben. Highlight? Andy poses as April. This episode is also notable for having a lot of real politicians playing themselves. And all being excellent and really funny. 10/10

Parks And Recreation 7.7

Wedding. Strong episode across the board with good scenes for Donna, Ron, Ben and - especially - April. 8/10

Parks And Recreation 7.6

The Tom/Donna b-story falls flat but the main plot brings satisfying resolution to the ongoing park storyline. Enjoyable but not especially funny. The only real laughs I got were from Billy Eichner as Craig, who only had a couple of lines. 7/10

Parks And Recreation 7.5

Dax Shepard . Good thought-provoking a-story. All the other stories are rooted in characters. Satisfying. And funny, too. 9/10


Parks And Recreation 7.4

Very different type of episode. With all the focus on two characters in a locked office. Not very funny, but a good story. It manages to give a solid pay-off to a storyline that I’ve not liked very much (the idea of Ron and Leslie having a big fight and not speaking). 8/10


Parks And Recreation 7.3

Erinn Hayes , Tim Baltz . So funny. For everybody. Whole cast gets a chance to shine here. The Ron/Leslie feud works, even though it shouldn’t. But, in fairness, all the storylines are golden in this episode: Andy helping April find a career, Terry and Ben trying to get those papers signed. Just a top class episode all the way through. 10/10


Parks And Recreation 7.2

Natalie Morales . Ingenious and hilarious. So many laughs, almost impossible to pick a highlight. Highlight: Leslie’s impression of Tammy. (Actually that wasn’t impossible, at all.) 10/10


Parks And Recreation 7.1

Very strange. There are some good gags, some good laughs, but it all feels so different. Like a different show, with characters we love. 8/10


Parks And Recreation 6.20

Michelle Obama.



  • Double-episode feels too long.

  • Lot of nice cameos/callbacks but little else.

  • Ongoing story builds to clever conclusion.

  • Shock twist time-jump at very end.


7/10

Parks And Recreation 6.19

Keegan-Michael Key. Delightful and funny. Adam Scott was the funniest one here, but competition was fierce. This episode was so good. And so sweet. 10/10


Parks And Recreation 6.18

Jeff Tweedy. Some funny moments (a lot from Billy Eichner) and there are some very sweet touching moments as well. 7/10


Parks And Recreation 6.17

Prom. A middle-of-the-road, mildly funny outing that is saved by a strong Ron/Leslie scene at the end. Those scenes of their strong friendship are often the highlight of an episode. Such is the case here. 7/10


Parks And Recreation 6.16

Rob Huebel. Very funny episode. All of the groupings of the regular characters worked a treat, particularly Ron and Andy. All of their scenes together were hilarious. And sweet. Of the guest cast, I enjoyed Alison Becker the most. 9/10


Parks And Recreation 6.15


Nick Kroll. Very, very funny episode. All storylines were good, and significantly tied into the larger character arcs in the show. 10/10



Parks And Recreation 6.14

Not especially funny, but the storylines (where Leslie, Ron and Tom follow their passions) are good. 6/10


Parks And Recreation 6.13

Peter Bonerz. Some nice ideas. All the laughs come from Billy Eichner, Chris Pratt and Nick Offerman. 6/10
