NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” will come and go quickly this winter, returning to kick off its final season on Jan. 13 — two nights after “Parks” star Amy Poehler co-hosts the Golden Globes on the network — and ending its run six weeks later.

The net announced Monday that the critically acclaimed comedy, whose previous six seasons bowed on a Thursday, will finish on Tuesdays, airing back-to-back episodes in the 8 o’clock hour.

“Parks” will air in the timeslot currently occupied by “The Voice,” whose fall season ends this month, and serve as lead-in to 9 o’clock comedies “Marry Me” and “About a Boy.” The music contest returns to the lineup in late February, and its Tuesday premiere on Feb. 24 will provide a strong lead-in to the hourlong “Parks” finale.
