We watch the show Parks and Rec while chatting with someone from the parks and rec department, all while getting parks n wrecked. Let's do it.
Goodness, this is a weird one. But would you expect anything less from the FINAL EPISODE EVER?!
The Parks and Rec crew reunite several years after the series finale, hosting a handful of Gryzzl one-on-one and conference calls. All of our favorites are here — Leslie and Ron have a couple of touching heart-to-hearts and Donna is looking exceptionally good with her gorgeous lighting in her closet. We’ve got lots of fun cameos from fol...
We’re recapping season 7! What were the best moments from the last season ever of Parks of Rec? Certainly wasn’t the Johnny Karate musical show, we’ll tell you that much. And who are the best bit characters from the Pawnee crew? We’re covering it all!
Plus, Sean and Haleigh take a quiz naming popular workplace sitcom characters, we talk about sock hops and what song would be delightful to hear during one, and Sean shares his experie...
We’re finishing up what we started last episode! We see the Parks and Rec crew doing their darnedest to satisfy one more Pawnee citizen before they scatter across the country and never (or at least rarely) see each other in the same room again.
Meanwhile, we’re continuing to jump ahead to the future, from 2018 all the way to 2035. And there are lots of great questions to be answered. Will Shauna Malwae-Tweep find eternal happiness? ...
Some of the crew is moving to Washington D.C. (and other places, as we’ll soon see), so Leslie is getting the gang together for one last ride. What started out as a presentation with song and dance turns into a final problem-solving adventure.
Meanwhile, we’re jumping into the future! Will Craig and Typhoon end up together after all? What’s Donna up to six years from now? Will Andy ever learn about Sandra Day O’Connor? How many rest...
Mayor Gunderson has passed away, so the town needs to find a new mayor. That means Ben and April are on the job search for a suitable replacement. It’s a who’s who of Pawnee’s finest (and most ridiculous), and Garry is there to notarize whatever happens. But wait! This episode is called two funerals, so there must be another one — and Ron finds out it’s someone close to him. He, Donna, and Andy all pay their respects to a terrific ...
With just a few episodes to go, we’re going to take a wild detour to Andy’s Johnny Karate kids show that doesn’t really advance the plot in any way. But, uh…it’s kind of silly occasionally, so…yay?
Andy gets top billing by being a big ol’ goofball, while April is worried that she’s ruining the one thing he loves by moving to Washington, D.C. Ben gets chided for being a nerd, Ron makes some wood, and John Cena shows up, for some reas...
Ben is running for Congress, and that means Leslie needs to make a pie. But, you know what? That’s pretty darn oppressive, so we bet Leslie and Ben can come up with a good plan to let folks know what’s what.
Meanwhile, Ron, April, and Andy are on a treasure hunt for the ages to discover the whereabouts of a spare key Ron lent to April. Donna enjoys a nostalgia trip as she watches Garry drop all kinds of things down a grate at City H...
April no longer wants to work in the government, but she’s afraid to tell Leslie because, you know…it’s Leslie. She freaks out over a binder color change. We’ll see if April can pull this off — she deserves to be happy! And there are a ton of Senators in this episode — special shout out to Cory Booker and Orrin Hatch and their Polynesian folk band Across the Isle.
Meanwhile, back in Pawnee, Ben, Andy, and Ron are looking for a new c...
Donna and Joe are getting married! That means a lot of Meagles in one setting. It’s up to April to stop the drama that is sure to follow, which may include making Ginuwine cry. We also see Ron put his foot in his mouth in a rare case of being a spectacular buffoon around Tom and Lucy.
Meanwhile, Leslie and Ben get drunk and commit to a pretty wild lifestyle change. We’ll have to find out what that is, but if Jen Barkley is involved,...
We survived the Texas winter storm! As a result, there’s no episode of Parks and Rec to watch. Instead, we’re offering a look at some of the most intense moments from Snowpocalypse, such as Haleigh collecting snow to use as toilet water and Sean losing heat and water and then having his car turn sideways while driving on icy roads.
Joey also reminisces about Oregon Trail II, we reflect on our favorite books and movies from high scho...
As Leslie and Ron are teaming up against Gryzzl, they learn Dennis Feinstein has bought JJ’s Diner. Uh-oh. Will they make a difference before Feinstein releases “The Hounds” on them?
Meanwhile, Tom and Donna are enjoying Treat Yourself 2017 — in Beverly Hills! And it just might encourage Tom to finally ask out Lucy. Just go for it, you wimp!
Plus, can you name all the singers from Lady Marmalade? We’re sure trying to. And we’re chatt...
Gryzzl is using data mining to get inside people’s heads and provide them with all the information they would ever find useful. Huh, sounds vaguely familiar, doesn’t it?
Anyway, this is a fantastic episode with just about every character showing their best characteristics. Leslie and Ben try to find a way to overtake Gryzzl, and they’re starting to get some help from their old crew. Ron cracks a funny joke about vegetables. Johnny K...
The rest of the crew have locked Leslie and Ron up so maybe they’ll finally start getting along. We can only hope! As a result, this episode is largely Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman showcasing their great chemistry together. We ain’t too mad about that.
We learn what Project Morningstar is, that’s kind of cool! Leslie and Ron also have many sappy moments, Post-It Notes are wasted, whiskey is drunk, and a saxophone is played.
Plus, Jo...
Leslie and Ron are each holding press conferences to promote their bids for land. Ron, Tom, and Donna have Anabel Porter from Bloosh, and Leslie has…a descendant of William Henry Harrison, ninth President of the United States. What a standoff!
Meanwhile, Terry has become a notary—“No, Terry!”—and is delighting in every minute of it. Ben has to continually get things signed, and Andy and April try to figure out what the latter is goo...
Leslie and Ron are still fighting with each other and trying to sway votes from council members. But perhaps they can put their differences aside for a few minutes to rescue Jamm from the clutches of Tammy 2?
Meanwhile, Tom and Andy travel to Chicago, and Lucy makes another appearance. How fun. Donna and Terry drop by for about six seconds, and April has a mild career crisis. To the morgue it is!
A Parks and Rec star is the President of the United States! With Joe Biden officially being sworn into the White House (and Leslie Knope on track to win the presidency by 2024), we’re going over our favorite moments from the inauguration, including Amanda Gorman’s incredible speech, the fabulous Bernie Sanders memes, Garth Brooks hugging everyone, and the special moment shared by Kamela Harris and Michelle Obama.
Sean’s got wings on...
It’s a new season, and there’s new drama! We’re three years into the future (at least compared to last episode) and Leslie and Ron appear to be rivals now! I bet we’ll uncover why soon enough. Ben is being honored at a gala, though he still secretly thinks it’s a prank.
Meanwhile, Andy and April are boring adults, Donna is engaged to Joe and has a Shia Labeouf exclusive dress, and Tom is still being a big ol’ self-centered jerk face...
Well, we’ve made it through Season 6 and basically 2020, so there’s lots of reflecting going on. We reminisce about the very first episode of Parks n Wrecked and how wildly unprofessional it was (as if we’ve gotten more professional, HA). And of course, we’re going over some of the key moments of Season 6 of Parks and Rec.
Remember when Andy had a job in London and hopped into a dumpster? Or how about the time Chris Bosh made a gues...
Welcome to the Unity Concert! We’ve finally made it and my, what a wonderful show. This Parks and Rec episode is chock full of guest appearances, like Ginuwine, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Kay Hanley of Letters to Cleo, The Decemberists, Jon Hamm, Johnny Karate, and a whole lot more. And we’re all partying at Tom’s Bistro after the show.
Meanwhile, Leslie is looking for people to take with her to her new job as the head of the Midwest bra...
We’re at the last episode of Season 6, but as NBC did, we’re turning it into a two-parter. Leslie still isn’t sure if she’s going to take that job in Chicago, Ben gets to show off his Cones of Dunshire skills, and we meet Gryzzl, who most certainly will make another appearance in future episodes.
Meanwhile, Tom’s Bistro just moved up its soft launch and it is going QUITE poorly. Tom is being a jerk. April has to sub in as a server a...
