Parks And Recreation - Season 3 [US]

Basq

This is starting on Thursday.... was not a big fan of the first season, but the second was fantastic!

Better than 'The Office' has been for the last 3 years anyways.

And watch Rob Lowe go NUTS!

One of my favourite moments from last season.. terrible quality and very low volume though!.

I gave up this when it started. Gave it a second chance and it has been worth it

Not that that would be hard :rolleyes:

I'm surprised Nick Offerman dont ever get any nominations as best supporting actor comedy at the Emmys Rob Lowe and Adam Scott are back as series regulars for Season 3

FreudianSlippers

Back in style. Very funny episode. Am I the only one wishing that Will Arnett will go to P&R now that Running Wilde is cancelled?

It's going to be hard to watch this one episode per week. It would be nice if they could limit the tiresome love triangles this season too.

Great start to S3, f*cking love this show. Ron Swanson is one of the greatest characters ever in a TV show.

Love this show, memory going a bit though, I see the character Mark Brendanawicz wasn't back or even mentioned.

Can't remember but was there a reason for this at the end of the last season, like did he move or something?

He broke up with Anne and moved job but not much else said. He was likeable but like Anne, redundant a character. They need to prove Anne worthy of keeping beyond her looks and usefulness as love interest.

Paul Schneider (who played Mark) left the show: http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/03/13/paul-schneider-leaving-parks-and-recreation/

"Lesley, I typed your symptoms into the bar up here and it says you could have network connectivity problems!"

Ha ha!

sweetie

loved the scene in ep 4 with Ron with corn rows

Basq

It's been a great season so far.. Adam Scott is a nice addition to the cast too!

pickarooney

Yep. Also, was it just me or was Community having a light-hearted go at P&R last week with their documentary episode?

Yep, there are a couple of easter eggs in the epsiode, pictures of Knope on the walls in the background.

It's been a cracking season - but my favourite Andy scene by far (as referenced above):

It has been a good season, but the most recent episode was pretty weak IMO.

fishing is like yoga but you still get to kill something

what the f*ck are german muffins?

I love Ron Swanson!!

Awhh Sheeeet, is this only a 16 episode run? Got my hopes up for another double episode this friday. The Jeff Mangum mention was great though.

FreudianSlippers

Yeah, it's because of Poehler's pregnancy. TBH I'm not entirely sure why they did it this way, they shot all 16 before the Third series began airing IIRC.

I'm a bit confused why they didn't do a 12 episode arc for season 3 and then break and return with another 12 to finish it out in the Autumn... instead opting for a 16 episode season 3 (as opposed to a 24 episode season 2) and to bring in a fresh season 4 in the Autumn. odd.

Glebee

Just finished a Parks and Recreation marathon over the last two weeks getting to watch it from the start. Quality show. I think that nearly all the characters in it have been developed brillantly. Ron Swonson has to be one of the best comedy charecters ever created. No Parks and Rec till autumn now though:(

Boom_Bap

ah nuts, i though we where going to get a full 23/4 episodes.

Have to agree with Glebee, Ron Swanson is one of the greatest characters ever in TV, i think i mentioned it earlier in this thread as well.

He gave a landmine to a kid as a present, has a picture of breakfast on his office wall, crazy ex wifes, has a alter jazz persona, awesome work space in his house.......the list goes on.....oh and his reaction to drinking the Snake Juice

Glebee

The episode where he gets the new circular desk is just fantastic.......

Cactus Colm

Have to concur Ron Swanson is a great character.

Any love for Kyle? The chap even Jerry picks on!

Literally, the greatest thing I have seen in my entire life.

pickarooney

Swanson is Ned Flanders through the looking glass.
For all the great lines, the funniest bit in the last few episodes was Andy puking. Does anyone else find Amy Poehler sexy as all get out?
