I have become such a big fan of Parks and Recreation.  It could be because I mirror Ron Swanson’s love of breakfast food, maybe it’s because the writers made Leslie Knope a more realistic over-zealous character, maybe it’s because the writers have a better grasp on what makes each of the characters great and that gives us the laughs, but the second season of Parks and Recreations has been absolutely phenomenal. From the hunting lodge incident to the current episode, there has been some really big laughs, consistently big laughs. I love the storyline they are developing with April and can’t wait to see how Andy takes it when he finds out April likes him. I wish Tom had told his fake wife that he actually liked her. It will be interesting seeing her interact with Ron and I love the new guy in Leslie’s life.

I want to look into the differences from last year to now to fully see the subtle, but brilliant, changes the writers made that took this show from, “I guess I’ll watch it” to something that is a must watch, but whatever they did made this a valuable asset to the Thursday night comedy block. Though, seriously, how irritating would ghost Roomba be?

Ron Swanson was awesome this week, his irritation with Leslie for not letting him drive after a couple of drinks. Loved the scene where he shows Leslie that he can build beautiful things, like a harp, even when he’s had enough drinks to be hammered. Also, the turf and turf. Sign me up!
