I have slowly come to see "Parks and Rec" as a better show than "The Office"
Both lost me after a while.
Couple of comments -
A friend dated Brandonowicz in high school. Didn't have anything good or bad to say.
I think Parks and Rec is the superior show because of a superior ensemble cast. You can watch the show and be in love with a half dozen characters at once.
Leslie Knope is most a non-character. She's sort of the lens through which we see everything take place. Michael Scott is a well-meaning oaf who has a large effect on the action.
Both ar excellent shows. Nothing on P&R is as cringeworthy as Scott's Tots.

See. I think The Office had deeper bench of genuinely funny, more richly observed (in the everyday sense) characters. After they hooked up, Jim and Pam became useless and I enjoyed when bad things happened to them though I did appreciate the writers understanding how bad Pam sucked and having a viewer call her on it in the final episodes. So, the central love interest in Parks and Rec was a more dynamic pair for sure. Rashida Jones is boring in both.
