The 4th season ended about 3 weeks ago in the States, but to my knowledge they're not broadcasting it over here anywhere

But if you are fond of all things online and slightly illegal then I'd heartily recommend watching this from the beginning.

The premise is quite similar to the Office: a bit of a mock-documentary that follows the goings-on of a parks department in a fictional town in Virginia called Pawnee. The main character is Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), who starts out as a deputy head of the department. There's a whole host of memes and cult followings though of Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman). Also stars Rob Lowe, Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Ansari, Adam Scott and more... has had (regular) guest appearances played by Megan Mullally (Karen, Will & Grace), Andy Samberg, Paul Rudd, Parker Posy, Will Arnett, Louis C.K., Pamela Reed... JUST WATCH IT OKAY

[Shaun]

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Spoiler:

[LemonJam]

Yeah Mark would be bottom

I actually love Ann... I didn't like Chris at first but he got more bearable with time.

[Shaun]

This show takes time to get into. Once you're through the first season or two, it starts to be completely amazing. Like Breaking Bad. ;-)

the first two seasons of BB were the best, I liked it being all low-key and amateur drug dealerish

[Shaun]

this episode Andy

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

halfway through season 3 now

ben is the cutest person ever

[Shaun]

I KNOW RIGHT

[rk3388]

hate that they focus so much on romance

[Shaun]

same, I hope they don't keep trying to push Tom and Ann together because they're clearly not in any way showing chemistry

[Shaun]

Also - loved the John McCain cameo. he always struck me as one of the nicest Republican candidates there's been

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

not a patch on the justinjewmanji cameo though

[Shaun]

that's true, he really stole the scene

[LemonJam]

I only finished Season 4 just before the premiere was a great episode, but I feel like you can tell how the whole Leslie/Ben thing is going to play out. I hope they can surprise me.

[Shaun]

I hope they don't split... I can't deal with Amy Poehler breakups in real life and fiction :'(
