Parks and Recreation Recap: The Treaty

Parks and Rec, I can't take this. I have been through many a so-damn-cute-but-can't-be-together-for-some-contrived-reason TV couples in my day. Jim and Pam made me both squeal and sob during the Office glory days. Of all the bright and twee aspects to Pushing Daisies, I loved Ned and Chuck the most. Hell, I endured three whole seasons of Gossip Girl just for Chuck and Blair. And now you come along with this Leslie and Ben fiasco. Well I won't have it. Not the heartbreaking glances, not the adorable high fives over Model UN, not the jokes about Kathy Ireland...oh, who am I kidding?

Parks and Recreation Recap: End of the World

When they put their minds to it, Leslie and Ben really know how to break our hearts. Watching their reluctant but necessary split in the season premiere was a lesson in gut-wrenching tragedy, and they brought their best devastating aching out again last night in “End of the World,” a relationship-heavy episode improbably driven by a Harold Camping-like doomsday prophet.

Parks and Recreation Recap: Meet 'N' Greet

Ah, Halloween. A time for children to indulge in crazy amounts of sugar, women to wear questionable costumes, and teen punks to defile their neighbors’ homes. For the Parks and Rec gang, though, it’s a time for elaborate house parties and, oddly, campaign meet and greets. Of course Leslie would put her career first, but NBC, are we ever going to see Amy Poehler in a costume? Given Ms. Knope’s endless enthusiasm for festivities and general revelry, her get-up would be sure to kick Ann’s eggplant ensemble’s ass.

Parks and Recreation Recap: Pawnee Rangers

Despite their totally different philosophies, Ron and Leslie are known more for their ability to work well together than petty squabbling. Yet this episode showed the pair at-odds over local boys’ and girls’ clubs. While we saw a moment of true vulnerability from Ron, it was a competition which both seemingly won in the end. Also winners in this episode? Tom and Donna, whose excellent holiday (Treat Yo Self), should be adopted by our nation as soon as possible.
