Parks and Rec is a great show....If you just straight up skip season 1. Season one did not have its legs and I can't really believe it didn't get canceled before season 2.
Season 1 was charming but it becomes an excellent show when Chris Traeger and Ben Wyatt show up. It starts running on all cylinders. (It's one of my favorite shows.)
Season 1 is terrible, they were basically trying to do a The Office spin-off but the humor fell completely flat.
My friend who recommended it to me before I had ever seen it basically said the same, but I loved it from the beginning.
I agree ... how did it not get cancelled?
it was only 6 episodes and i guess had goodwill from the office writers? idk NBC tried to cancel parks and rec all the time at its peak so its amazing how it didnt get instantly canned
I still think it's worth watching from season 1 - there are a couple of pretty good episodes and it sets up some stuff that comes back later on, like building the park in the vacant lot. Plus, it's only 6 episodes IIRC.
