Meanwhile, Jerry (Jim O'Heir) hosts a holiday party at his home with his wife (guest star Christie Brinkley), and some of his friends are shocked to find they were not invited.

I loved it!

Tammy was over the top and...oddly enticing.

Nothing odd about it. I don't know how old Megan Mullaley is but she's still got it.

Great episode. The Jerry stuff was gold... now I can see why he can take all the shit from his co-workers and still be happy.

Good episode. Amazing how that happens when you don't have Ben and Leslie slobbering on each other thru the whole episode.

Ron's giddy reaction to the guy being at the awards may be the funniest thing I have ever seen on this show.

Great episode last night. Loved the scenes at the wood craftsman awards ceremony and Jerry's house.

The payoff for finally meeting Jerry's wife was fucking fantastic.

"the winner is, Ron Swanson...for chair."

the woodworkers who are no longer with us...and the beautiful coffins they all designed themselves.

you are so lucky...i am going to kill you.

this show was hitting on all cylinders tonight. fantastic.

The Ron and Tammy episodes are always the best Parks' episodes. This one was no different and the Christmas party was surprisingly entertaining.

LOVED the look at Ben's face when he saw Jerry's wife and daughters. Reminded me of Mark Wahlberg in The Other Guys. Just awesome.

Best episode of this season so far. This is remaining my favorite network show for the last couple of years.

Much better now that they are out of Washington, I like the show much better when everyone is together.

I lost it whenever they showed Tammy with her privates blurred out. Hilarious!

I think my favorite part was April being so feeble.

Genius episode, so much going on.

The Jerry Filter - haha.
And of course Ron at the Awards was amazing.
Megan Mullally really brings her a-game to this show, and the payoff at the end with Duke Silver was just perfect.

Great episode.

Doesn't Leslie know about Duke Silver? I thought she did.

she really is great and over-the-top on the show.

and it had been awhile since we have the Duke had made an appearance.

Also - enjoyed everyone's reactions to Jerry's family.

Great stuff. The return of both Tammy 2 and Duke Silver. Gerry's family, "Man Perkins", all good. Loved the bit at the end with Leslie in the trunk. Also, I like Ron and Diane together.
