Parks and Recreation - Part 1

[Pink Ranger]

Looks like he's in better shape for Guardians than he was for Zero Dark Thirty.

Because this time he has to fight Thanos, not just UBL. He had to up his game.

TVLine's 5 Ways that Chris Pratt's new look could be used in season 6:

http://tvline.com/2013/07/08/chris-pratt-parks-and-recreation-shirtless-new-body/

1 | The “evil twin” story arc has rocked many a soap opera — but is it really such a stretch to envision Andy’s long lost brother Randy bringing madness, mischief or even murder to the city of Pawnee?
2 | Andy spends his summer participating in a season of NBC’s The Biggest Loser, returning home a lot more fit — and a little more famous. (OK, maybe not the world’s funniest idea, but you know those suits at the Peacock net love themselves some intra-network synergy.)
3 | With April away at vet school, Andy spends more and more time at the gym, but begins to attract unwanted attention from a variety of single ladies. This development brings out April’s inner banshee, and she sets out on a secret course to destroy every woman with designs on her hubby.
4 | Andy’s alter-ego, Bert Macklin, goes undercover to expose an illegal steroid ring at a local senior citizen’s facility.
5 | Inspired by April’s enjoyment of an on-demand viewing of Magic Mike, Andy sets out on a misguided (and short-lived) course to become an exotic dancer — and help her pay for school in the process.

#5 sounds like the best choice of those options.

 

[Sawyer]

Have him start getting fit without April's knowledge, but as soon as she sees the attention he starts getting she starts force-feeding him, like, 15 sticks of butter.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Or he could just continue to wear the shapeless, baggy clothing he always wear.

 

[Sawyer]

Pink, that's ridiculous. Do you think you can just give Henry Cavill an English accent, and people will just believe he's not really Superman, too? Come on...

We know who you are, Henry.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm watching season 1 for the first time on Netflix. It feels weird... Ron seems like he cares too much.

 

[Sawyer]

KRISTEN BELL!!!!!

 

[antsman41]

I love how everyone from Eagleton is blonde.

 

[Sawyer]

Errr...

[The Navigator]

^Didn't she move to Eagleton, though? She originally worked for the Pawnee P&R dept.

 

[antsman41]

I swear even Leslie called the blonde headed freaks.

 

[The Navigator]

Well, she would know.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Errr...

I love how Leslie's brawls usually involve trash in some capacity.

 

[Sawyer]

Same. Though I think I love it even more that her whole crew knows that the waffle thing is exactly what will push Leslie over the edge. You can see it on April and Tom's faces.

 

[Maximus One]

Garbage fight!!! Lmfao damn I love Parker Posey too, she needs to be in more stuff

 

[Sawyer]

I demand a Tina Fey guest appearance this season. DEMAND!

 

[antsman41]

I don't like Tine Fey now, since she tried to make Fallon fire The Roots.

 

[Sawyer]

Continuing to make my way through the first season. It feels like they were trying too hard to make Leslie a female Michael Scott in the early days, whereas now she's more or less just a normal human being, albeit with an overly optimistic outlook on politics.

 

[The Navigator]

Yeah, season 1 was basically The Office with a few differences. Thankfully they've grown more into their own identity.

I've just gone back to watch it all in order for the first time myself (I've only watched it sporadically over the last couple of years), and I got the same feeling from S1. It reminded me why I didn't keep up with it from the beginning when it first premiered. I had a similar feeling about S1 of The Office, too (trying too much to be like the UK version). And just like The Office, P&R found its footing pretty much immediately in S2. Weird.

It would be hilarious if they were just trolling, and it ended up being London, Ontario.

Andy Dwyer is no longer the chubby shoe shiner we fell in love with.

In case you missed it, Parks and Recreation's Chris Pratt is going to star in the upcoming Marvel superhero film Guardians of the Galaxy — and he's certainly been preparing to play a superhero. Earlier this week, Pratt unveiled his rock-hard body on Instagram, and noted that he got his new defined abs by going six months without beer. But that puts his NBC comedy into quite a predicament because Andy Dwyer has never been one to exercise.

Parks and Recreation Season 6 Scoop: How will Leslie handle the recall?

"I was as shocked as everybody," executive producer Mike Schur tells TVGuide.com. "I obviously knew he was getting in crazy good shape for this movie. He had already started by the time we wrapped last year. We'd been through this once before when he did Zero Dark Thirty, but not like he is now. That picture was insane."

So how will Parks deal with Pratt's svelte new body? "The only possible explanation for why someone looks that good is that they're planning to play a superhero in a summer blockbuster," Schur says with a laugh. "There is a joke that I wrote in the premiere that I think we'll probably shoot that is a little tiny acknowledgement or nod to the fact that he looks very different to the way he normally looks. I don't think beyond a little joke about it that we'll end up doing anything significant. We're not going to suddenly say that Andy became a fitness nut because that doesn't ring true."

The only time Andy actually ever exerted himself was when he was training to become a police officer, which means we may see more of Special Agent Burt Macklin once Pratt finishes shooting Guardians. "If Burt Macklin were a real person, that's probably what he'd look like," Schur jokes. "Maybe we'll do a Fight Club thing where some of the scenes will be Andy looking like he normally does and some of the scenes will be Burt Macklin looking like he currently does."

 

[Hush]

That idea at the end is gold, the Fight Club idea.
