Parks and Recreation: Season 1

Best show ever so funny

Watch or you are just stupid and don’t deserve technology

My husband ordered all the seasons since it no longer streams on any of the services for free. Or atleast none we subscribe to.

This entire series is hilarious. Oh my goodness. It is so funny. The cast is great! I have watched this series so many times.. I have really enjoyed it. I am so glad that I came across this show on Amazon.

All great shows and films are made by their characters. Flawed, witty, and loveable, this show follows the formula that makes you accept and love each character because THEY love and accept each character. From hard-core to flighty, this group of otherwise dissimilar, middle-class folks make it enjoyable. It got slightly too political on the typical Hollywood liberal slant a few times but usually reeled it back in. All in all, it's fun watching.

The characters start it out a bit to dimensional but it only gets better and funnier.

I watched this show when it first aired and it never really resonated with me. But I tried it out again this year and suddenly I found it much funnier. I still think the 'documentary style' is a little played out. NBC put Parks and Rec on with this style in the middle of the fame of The Office. They had a formula that works and they ran with it. Maybe because I was watching The Office at the time I didn't have room for another documentary style sit com.But now that it's the only documentary style sit com I'm watching it's suddenly really funny to me. One of the things that makes the show funny is the reaction shots of other characters to the stupidity of the shows situations. Those make scenes funny and really bring the jokes home.Also somehow the Ron Swanson character didn't appeal to me back when this show was new. Now I see why people think he's one of the greatest characters on TV.All in all, if you gave up on this series years ago like I did, give it another shot.

I've been an Office fan for years so Parks and Rec was a shoo-in. The first episode I saw was Indianapolis so I got started late in the game. But I've been watching all the past episodes to catch up and spent a fortune on Amazon.It definitely is for a different sense of humor. The key to a great comedy is that every character has funny qualities. Some shows, like Parks and Rec and The Office take a while to understand the characters and appreciate them. I didn't care for the Office the first time I watched, but learned to love it as I got more into it. Shows like this are like an ongoing inside joke.There are people who find Will Ferrell's comedies hysterical whereas I cannot stand the sight of him. I nearly stopped watching The Office until I realized he was not going to be on there permanently.Different strokes for different folks. Some like stand-up, some like sitcoms, some like toilet humor like the American Pie series, most Adam Sandler or Tom Green movies, other people like mockumentaries. To each their own but I love Parks and Rec!

I discovered this series by watching a few episodes from season 2 on BBC iPlayer. Although season 1 is only 6 episodes long, it is worth watching as it sets the context for the series. Clearly the characters were undergoing initial development during this season and it isn't up to the same standard as the following seasons, but it is still well worth the price.

If you're a fan of shows like Arrested Development and 30 Rock, you'll love this.First series, while only 6 episodes, is very funny and imaginative, though probably not as good as subsequent series, when the characters become more developed.

This is subtle but so funny. I watched it on TV but I've bought this for my brother for Christmas. He loves the Office so I know he'll love this.

The best sitcom since Blackadder. The series get better and better and better...

This is a highly amusing series and one which my friend recommended to me.
