    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.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 36 out of 36
  2. Mixed: 0 out of 36

  1. 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. The cast is at it's best, which is saying something considering how good they have recently been. Fantastic show, recommended for everyone. Expand

    Anybody who doesn't like this show has clearly never seen it or never given it a chance. It blows Modern Family, Glee, The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men and any sitcom on TV right now out of the water. Those who berate it are probably fans of The Big Bang Theory and/or The Real Housewives (shows that have no quality). Time to evolve, people. Learn what quality television is. Expand

    Brilliant television show. Fantastically written and acted. Severely underrated and should be watched by many more people. The storylines are intriguing and fantastic. Expand
