Based on this story alone, you would think that Mike Schur and the folks over at NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” have to be pretty big fans of “House of Lies.” Why is that? The simple answer here is that they’ve managed to cast a pair of series regulars from that show for parts early on […]
Elementary, Parks and Recreation
What in the world is it about TV series wanting to go to London this year? When it comes to “Elementary,” it at least makes some sense given that Jonny Lee Miller’s title character of Sherlock Holmes actually hails from the city. As for “Parks and Recreation” … well, we’re still trying to figure this […]
Emmys, Happy Endings, Parks and Recreation
This was a rather strange year when it comes to comedy. There was not a breakout show on any of the major networks, all new comedies with the exception of “The Mindy Project” fell off the map, and while “The Big Bang Theory” found yet another way to trounce the other shows in the ratings, […]
Guest actors are the backbone of almost any show, since they keep things fresh, and allow you to continuously find new things to like about the characters we already have. The Critics’ Chose TV Awards this year did a good job of nominating six very talented guest actors here, and then made one decision that […]
Remember all of those concerns about “Parks and Recreation” possibly looking at the end of the road this season?

Is the Parks and Recreation crew set to have a job opening? We don’t necessarily know that just yet, but we are going to see an upcoming episode focus on an event that will shake-up the Pawnee landscape to a pretty large degree: the retirement of none other than one Jerry Gergich. The character has long been […]
Mad Men, Oscars, Parks and Recreation
If you are a celebrity in Hollywood not at the Academy Awards, odds are that you are probably at one of two places: the Elton John viewing party, or the event hosted by Vanity Fair (which continues past the Oscars, and is often attended by a number of the stars in attendance at the event). […]
Thanks in part to the “30 Rock” series finale last week, it feels like it has been quite a while since a new episode of “Parks and Recreation” season 5. However, we now know more than ever that there are going to be some major reasons to celebrate courtesy of some brand-new casting scoop that […]
Last year, we saw Justin Bieber play the role of big-name star for a Super Bowl commercial for Best Buy. This time around, it was none other than “Parks and Recreation” star Amy Poehler who was the lead for an ad that was much more about humor than just cool gadgets and star power. So […]
