"You had me at Meat Tornado..."

I'm going to lay it all out right here. I think one of the best shows on TV right now is Parks and Recreation. And I think this for a number of reasons, which I will describe further. Keep in mind, this is all opinion, so you are welcome to let me know if yours differs.

First off, Parks and Rec has excellent character design and progress. Not only do you like the characters, even though they are flawed, but you also see them change and progress in a fairly logical and realistic manner. I don't want to post spoilers, so man, just believe me, there was a great moment this last week which wouldn't have happened in some of the current sitcoms that feel like characters can't be together or the audience will lose interest. I like shows like Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory, but it is the same story and characters season after season. You would think that by now, the audience knows that Cam and Mitchell fight all the time and that Gloria is loud, let's try something new.

"In my defense, it was my birthday, and I wanted to do it."

Next reason, re-watchability. Chase and I have been going back through the seasons of Parks and Rec, and they are still great and funny the second time. We couldn't get past Ben calling Perd Hapley, "Turd Crapley." A great show is one you want to go back to over and and over again.

Lastly, it is not Walking Dead, which is overrated and boring for 3/4 of the show and then zombies and then a cliffhanger. Come on Walking Dead, get it together.

Of course, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Homeland, and Vampire Diaries are also amazing, so maybe I'll dedicate something coming up to those. Stay tuned...

And in honor of Ron Swanson, who doesn't want anyone getting too chummy with him, have a great day...Christine.
