Parks and Recreaton -- "Sister City" -- 10/15/09

Parks and Recreation

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


The Parks and Recreation department from Boraqua, Venezuela, Pawnee's sister city, visits, and Leslie is shocked by the cultural differences. Meanwhile, April plays hard to get.



Sounds like a fun episode.

Fred Armesin was great

Also, Tom steals the show as usual.

Fred Armesin makes everything better. I agree, Tom stole the show.

I loved the end w/ April!

I love this show and I generally liked this ep, but this is the first one that to me started out funny then started flat lining as the ep went on. I don't know what happened.

I saw this show for the first time and have to say it was pretty awful. It sounds like it was just this episode but there wasn't anything remotely funny.

All the episodes aren't this bad, are they?

If you don't like the show, then, believe it or not, you go to jail.

Tom's good, but Ron's the shit!

If you don't like it, straight to jail.

I liked this episode and it was probably the best show of the season.

Not as good as last week's episode but pretty damn funny. The "go to jail" bit was priceless.

Nice touch with Tom quietly putting his "tip money" in Leslie's park fund display at the end.

How does one go about removing the crisped rice from a Nestlé Crunch™ anyway?

I didnt think the episode was that great. The Argentina was a HUGE gimmick and it felt like I was watching a RENO 911 episode. I did get a kick out of seeing "Popeya" or "Gignator (ORTIZ!)" in there; despite not speaking. Big Props to any DVDtalker who can guess what Im referencing.

Where the hell was Rashida? I want to punch that bug eyed April in the damn face!

So you were watching close enough to recognize the guy from SPEED, but not closely enough to pick up that they were from Venezuela?

I thought the episode was on the boring side. Some funny lines, but not as good as the first few shows.

I did like:
"Pro and con never work."
"Pro! Yes it does."

Your cunning plan was to trick someone into pointing out that you are an idiot?
