There are a good number of great comedies on TV right now. (There are also a good number of crappy comedies on TV that make me want to stab out my eyes and destroy every laugh track in the universe. But let’s not talk about those…) My favorite among these is the delightful, warmhearted and cheerfully insane "Parks and Recreation".
The show's about the Parks and Recreation Department of government in a small town called Pawnee. This town's sole claim to fame is the raging obesity crisis throughout the area. Suffice to say, it doesn’t have a lot going for it. Despite that (or perhaps because of that), Leslie Knope, the Deputy Director of the Department, is a woman who is terrifyingly enthusiastic about the place, about government, and about parks.
She’s a little odd.
