Ron's reaction to moving to Canada

Police Officer: "In fact, I want him to stay at least 500 feet from the library."
Leslie: "I think that's a good diea for all of us."

Ron: "I didn't shave it off, it rubbed off. From friction."

Ron's video was incredible. Calling himself a "stupid f***" at the end was a great touch.

Tammy throwing Tom into the bookcase killed me.

The other new guy (not Rob Lowe) is about as boring and useless as Brandanoqwitz.

From the cornrows on, this was epic.

If you're referring to the end about the wedding registration stuff I think it was just a huge production eff up. On the website it's all the stuff that Tammy & Ron registered for. (Which would actually make sense.)

http://www.nbc.com/parks-and-recreat...-registry/7040

But seriously, how do they screw that up with both saying Andy & April and showing footage of them. WTF?

At least some of it was footage of Andy & April from future episodes. I feel like they're just doing damage control, but I can't blame them. What are they supposed to say? "Yeah, whoops, we spoiled it. Guess you don't need to watch that episode!"

Adam Scott is good and I think Rob Lowe is the guy that should be dumped instead.

The corn rows was ok but it would have been funnier if it was a complete surprise and not shown in the promos.

good episodes... I thought it would have been funny if the moment Ron came out of his Tammy haze, they showed a shot of him mussing up his cornrows, cut away for a second, then come back and his epic hair was perfectly back to normal....

Damage control? They showed Tammy and Ron going through using a gift registry in the show. The registry that Gerry used to get him his gift. It's not like it was just made up quick.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "Ron and Tammy Part 2" -- 2/10/11

Oh, I'm not talking about making the website, I'm talking about the statement going around that "somehow the names got messed up." I'm sure that they intended to make a Ron/Tammy registry, but like this article says, these promos are approved by a TON of people, so a name mix-up is extremely hard to imagine.

I'm not making up any big conspiracy theory, and obviously we'll see by the end of the season since if Andy & April don't get married then the name mix-up is clearly the case, but it seems way more likely that an Andy/April wedding promo was in the pipeline and somebody got confused while promoting the Ron/Tammy registry site than it does that someone edited the completely wrong names & footage (including at least one clip that hasn't been shown yet) into the promo and all of their bosses approved it.

I work in TV and create promos every day. You'd be surprised what can get by a lot of people, especially if they are "approving" it just because of their job title.

The Andy/April promo was a mistake.

Per showrunner Michael Schur, it was supposed to be a promo for Ron and Tammy’s registry. NBC messed it up somehow.

Good to see the rest of you spoiling it for those of us that don't watch previews. Previews are discussed with spoiler tags guys.

It wasn't a preview. It tied directly into the episode. They just put the wrong character names into it.

Loved this episode. I loved Donna's intervention speech. I wonder if we will never meet Ron's mom Tammy and the other ex Tammy.
