Comedy Parks and Recreation - Part 2

[terry78]

They obviously did this as a just in case they don't renew us thing.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I don't remember the last time I laughed out loud so many times in one episode of any show. Such a great episode. I'm happy that it is coming back, but part of me kind of wishes that tonight was it, since that would've been a great series finale.

Andy back on stage with a Duke Silver collabo, and Leslie finding out is what made assume they were ending it.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Pawnee needed some Hamm!

 

[Steyin]

This was an excellent season finale. It truly did feel like a series finale, and if it was it would have been one of the best I'd ever seen. I wonder how long ago it was filmed versus being renewed since we knew it was renewed weeks ago.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I think next season will be it's final season. They need to go with "Pawnee: Three Years Later" for next season. It will be interesting to see the characters three years later if they go with that. What we know so far from that Three Years Later bit:

- Leslie's new job is very successful. She is flourishing. She also fired Jon Hamm.
- Jerry/Larry is now Terry
- Ben is also successful, I assume though he's still City Manager. Cones of Dunshire was probably a big success.
- Andy and April are the aunt and uncle to the triplets.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Of course "Three Years Later" does leave a lot of questions:

- Where are Ron, Donna and Tom three years later?
- Will the City Council still be Jammed?
- Perd Hapley
- Why is Andy's arm in a sling?
- Chris and Anne three years later?

That really did feel like a series finale and it leaves next season in a pretty big, daring cliffhanger. Shows like this generally do not do big narrative leaps like that and the fact that they did was pretty brazen.

 

[Hush]

"Can you bring back Power Rangers? I don't know what you do, but you seem important enough to get that done." -Andy

^^^^ That alone made the episode. Just glorious.

However, Michael Schur has done this before with the Office finale, of which he played Mose. It's not like the show has been a massive hit in the ratings either. It has a cult following, of which we all are a part of.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Another question I have for "Three Years Later."

- Is Larry/Jerry/Terry still married to Christie Brinkley?

The show has nothing to loose. It will likely be the final season anyways.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I like how Leslie got furious with Ron and then forgave him like two seconds later.

And Ron thought that "Leslie having it all" was a bad idea.

Mike Schur said that they planned the ending of the finale after they received the renewal for season seven:

We were breaking the final batch of episodes and had begun discussing the finale story. Some of it was sort of pre-destined, because we had the Unity Concert, which was going to put the merger storyline to rest, by showing that the town en masse would speak louder than the naysayers. And Leslie was going to accept the job, but figure out a way to stay in Pawnee (set up much earlier in the season by Ron's discovery of the third floor and his subsequent refurbishing of it). Then we had a conversation about the show's future with NBC, and got a very strong indication that we would be back for season seven, so we turned our minds toward doing something that would inject another season's worth of story into the finale. That either meant rebreaking the main action, in certain ways, to make it more forward-thinking, or doing something at the end that would shake everything up, and since we liked the stories we'd broken we went with the latter.

 

[Boom]

Why is this not on Hulu Plus yet?

God. Why the **** am I paying $8 a month for this again ?

The head at NBC gave the show a pretty solid, though not entirely official, thumbs up for season 7 all the way back in January when the network was doing it's TCA presentations, so I don't think the writers would've really ever thought it would be ending.

Did you see the episode tonight? What did you think?

 

[antsman41]

That was beautiful.

One of their funniest episodes ever, and really enjoy the balls they had to do a flash-forward. Very excited for next season...

Will be nice for this and Community to sail of together on top of the mountain.

Power Rangers quote, Letters To Cleo/Decemberists/Tweedy cameo, flash-forward, and Ben being the best win this episode.

 

[Boom]

I'm genuinely impressed with how consistent this show has been over the course of six seasons. I'm so happy it didn't crash into smoldering flames like The Office.

 

[Sawyer]

Did you see the episode tonight? What did you think?

Loved it. Can't wait to get a better glimpse of what's changed in the past three years.

To still see commercials.

 

[Dr. Evil]

One thing has changed for sure: Leslie no longer has to win over the people of Pawnee. Spent the entire season doing that. Plus Leslie's promotion means that Jamm loses.

 

[Sawyer]

**** the people of Pawnee. They don't deserve her.

 

[Dr. Evil]

**** the people of Pawnee. They don't deserve her.

Exactly, she doesn't need them anymore now that her job is national. The only reason she stays is for the people in the Parks Department (Ron, Andy, Tom, Donna and April). Not so much whoever Jim O'Heir is playing these days (Three years later, his name is Terry).

 

[Sawyer]

I need Tina Fey to guest star next season, Schur. Not even a request. Just give it to me.
