    With a cast as ostensibly close-knit and in-tune as these actors are, season four of Parks and Recreation illustrates just how far the series has come from its mediocre beginnings, and could very well take it to even greater, and funnier, places.

    Fantastic start to what will be a great season. The writers waste no time here in creating a story that is going to be both hilarious and dramatic at the same time.
