Why I love Parks and Recreations

Posted by Unknown at 09:39
Finally I get down to the point of this blog of mine, why I love Parks and Recreations.
Unlike most shows, Parks has a believable character development, as you watch the show you begin to feel like you really know the cast. You learn more about their lives, you see them progress or fail and how they manage these changes. The relationships feel authentic, Ben and Leslie have this amazing connection that seems so real and genuine. It's one of those TV relationships that gives you faith in love, and doesn't make you want to rip your heart out.
Other than the fantastic cast of main characters; Leslie, Ron, Ben, Chris, April, Andy, Ann, Donna, Tom and Gerry/ Larry/ Garry I guess.
There's are a great selection of minor character such as;
Jean- Ralphio- Tom's hilarious sidekick that is constantly singing or saying something inappropriate.
Also Jeremy Jamm- City Council's selfish, lazy, sneaking council member. 'You just got Jammed'
Yes, he uses his name as a catch phrase to mean suckered, beaten etc He's annoying but again hilarious! Most cast members have experience in stand up and you can tell as not one character won't make you laugh.
The best thing about the characters is; They're relatable.
Every character is completely different, they all have their strange personalities, yet you can relate to each at certain points thought the show.
Leslie is driven and enthusiastic! And Happy, like all the time.
April is mean and rude but has a soft side for the furry creatures, and can be really sweet, but hates it.
Andy is the polar opposite, he's loud, adventurous, childish, goofy and a little slow.  
Ron is the definition of a real man. He's private, loyal, loves meat and hates the government, but he does have the most adorable giggle! (which we will come back to in late posts)
Tom is a total drama queen (i'd use king but it doesn't really fit....) He's the one who can party, but also the idea man- they may be crazzzy but he's got a lot of them!
Donna is the Queen Bee of any situation you put her in, she's also quite bitchy and brutally honest. But she's also the mommy of the group. She fixes office mishaps, drives everyone home after the snake juice night and even (SPOILER) gives Garry his name back in the final season!
Ben is Leslie's love. But he's also a total nerd, the more you get to know him the more of a nerd he becomes; Calzones. Board Games. Accountant jokes.
Chris is LITERALLY the most energetic character on the planet. Okay I can't really relate to Chris so much......>>
Ann isn't always around which is a bit sad after it first happens but i'll be honest, I got over it pretty quick. She's kind, like a nurse, and the way she invited Leslie into her life instead of locking the doors and calling the cops on the crazy lady, makes me think she really is apart of the gang, even though you can do without her.
Every character in this show has something special and all of them are funny to help make life seem a little less grey and most Pawnee.
