    If you liked the first season, you'll love this. If you didn't like the first season then you'll still like this. Vastly improved over what was already a fantastic show this could well be the best thing on TV from the 09-10 season. I can't wait for season 3!

    Absolutely love this show. It is always so funny and I love the cast. Amy Poehler is so cute and hilarious. The show is always fun and is great on the NBC Thursday night lineup. I hope we continue to see this show on for along time to come.

    This show is just great, I hated the first season, watching Leslie Gnope was torture. I don't know why it took so long to change her but she is now one of my favorite characters on TV. This show is almost equally as good as 30 rock and just short of the Office, Aziz Ansari is hilarious and the entire cast has really been upgraded this season

    I watched the pilot on a flight just recently and I giggled through the whole episode. I came home and watched most of the first season online and I find the series very amusing. I hope they keep it around!

    Wow! How this show has definitely impred since season 1. And it keeps getting better as the comedy tightens and the characters get more developed. It's a must watch of the season.

    The first season was pretty average, but it really has grown with the full-season pick up. I hope that NBC keeps it around for a while.

    I can't think of a show that ever so dramatically improved over its first season. Its second season was not only consistently hilarious, but was probably the most consistently funny show on all of television last year. The entire ensemble is fantastic, but Nick Offerman steals every scene he is in and was robbed of an Emmy nomination. "The Hunting Trip" was easily my favorite episode of the season, but all in all the season was firing on all cylinders.… Expand

    If the critics think this show is funny and deserves your attention for 30 minutes each week then they have never sat through an entire episode. The show is terrible. Period. Whoever conceived the bit about playing an "air shovel" should be fired immediately. It's a shame because Amy Poehler can be very funny, just not in this not-funny disaster.

    Overall, Parks appears to be headed in the right direction.

    There's so much to like here. Now, all P&R has to do is become consistently likable.

    Parks was disappointing in its first year but tonight's episode and one airing next week--with a storyline inspired by the Henry Louis Gates-cop kerfluffle--show that the program is making steady, funny progress.
