Synopsis:

Spoiler:
When Leslie (Amy Poehler) finds out that Parks Department budget is about to be cut, she convinces Councilman Pillner (guest star Bradley Whitford) to make the cuts elsewhere, which causes unexpected problems for her campaign. Meanwhile, Chris (Rob Lowe) takes Ron (Nick Offerman) to his favorite meditation center. Rashida Jones, Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Ansari, Jim O'Heir, and Retta also star.


Episode 19 of 22

Geez, forum traffic is really down if people in this forum don't feel like talking about Parks after a 5 week hiatus. It's already over 15 hours after the episode aired.

I noticed that people are just going off on how shitty they think The Office is and their constant love for Community

Great episode. Nice homage to The West Wing, especially with Whitford as guest star. If you didn't know, the episode title is a reference to a line Sorkin wrote in an episode of The West Wing.

Too bad Lowe and Whitford didn't have any scenes together.

Ron Fucking Swanson was money as usual.

Did you see the framed 'Pillner for Pawnee' napkin?

Good episode. I liked Leslie's political suicide, and especially April's little storyline. With the debate coming up, I guess we'll see more Rudd? Love me some Rudd. Going through Tom's apartment was also a lot of fun.

Agreed. Great episode.

The opening with Tom's apartment was pretty funny. How much in debt is Tom?

Agreed. Would have loved to see a little walk and talk with them.

I liked Leslie's political suicide
Yeah, the ending was good too.

Definitely going to have to watch this one again.

"I have so many ideas. Some are simple like take down traffic lights and eliminate the post office. The bigger ones will be tougher, like 'bring all this crumbling to the ground."


Ron's version of Meditation by just standing lol


Nick Offerman a big Cubs fan

This is my first time watching the show live. Well I saw the pilot and one or two episodes, but this is the first one after having seen everything else. As such I'm glad the hiatus is over. Fun stuff with Ron, Tom and good to see April doing something she cared about. Looking forward to the debate, and Paul Rudd.

Maybe it's because last season was so close to perfect, but I just don't enjoy the show as much these days. Still like it, though.

I liked it. Glad to have the show back. As usual, Ron makes the show for me. But Tom's apartment was funny. And April actually caring about something. I liked it when she was chasing the lady who dropped off the cats.

I'm starting to lose interest as well, mainly because of all the relationships amongst the cast. They're forcing that shit.

It might not be up to par with previous seasons but it is still is number #1 on my viewing list.

Hmm still as good as ever to me. Just got around to watching this one on NBC.com..I'd signed up for DirecTV over a month ago and had never thought to put the subscription on for this because it had been so long since a new episode had aired.
