5. Jerry’s inconceivably beautiful family
4. Ron Swanson hatred of government
3. Any scene with Tom in it
2. The Pawnee/ Eagleton rivalry
1. Chris Pratt as Andy… hands down

Ron’s love of red meat. For example:
  1. The Ron vs. Chris burger cookoff
  2. When they closed his favorite steakhouse
  3. “You’ve accidentally served me the food my food eats.”

Going to be that guy who comments only to say he's never really watched the show... I never got into Parks and Rec for whatever reason. Has a lot of the same writers as The Office I believe? Might have to be my next streaming binge, lol.

The snakejuice episode is the best. All out of their minds effed up except what's her name on the cleanse. They strap Jerry to the roof of the SUV to drive everyone home

so many good characters… Bert Macklin, FBI agent is one of the best.

Shortlist for Andy's best line.

I watched a panel with the cast and writers a while ago. Michael Shur said the "Network Connectivity Problems" line was improvised. The writers both loved it and were pissed because it was better than anything they could have fathomed coming up with.

Yeah I've seen that as well. Think he said something like "I've never written a joke that good in my life."

Ron Swanson = single greatest TV character of all time, IMHO.

But we can’t talk about it on this forum because, ya know… politics.

But otherwise, yeah. One of all-time LMFAO shows….

No idea, I found it on YouTube. Looks like it was posted in 2013, so probably the same one. The part I'm referencing starts at about 1:14, Shur talks about it at 2:20 but mentions he's said it at other panels.

OK I saw a different panel a few months later but those Paleyfest panels were always a good time
