Parks and Recreation
Because parks don't grow on trees.
Created by Michael Schur, Greg Daniels
On NBC
A warmly affectionate workplace comedy built on genuine affection between characters and an optimistic faith in civic engagement and personal growth.
In an attempt to beautify her town — and advance her career — Leslie Knope, a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, takes on bureaucrats, cranky neighbors, and single-issue fanatics whose weapons are lawsuits, the jumble of city codes, and the democratic process she loves so much.
