Tammy One, more amazing Ann/Chris chemistry (I know people don't like Ann's character but I think that she's such a straight man and that Chris is one of the most eccentric in this entire eccentric cast actually works), April the manager, Tom quitting and Leslie hiding scandals. This show is too miraculous.
The tag is supposed to be one of the craziest moments of the series.

Tammy one!

Amazing finale. When is season 4 scheduled to air? I know season 3 had been sitting on the burner for awhile before being shown.

Oh god the investor information for entertainment 720 per the website:

Entertainment 720 — Pro-forma Income Projections
YEAR 1 - $1-2 million
YEAR 2 - $30-180 million
YEAR 3 - $600 million-1.1 billion
YEAR 4 - $48 billion (includes income from projected acquisition of Viacom.)

Hahahahaha!

I think it will start back up in September because 30 rock is starting late next season.

Bravo.

I would like to see the series end in a season or two after Leslie gets elected to some minor office. That's a ways off though so for now bring on another season.~ Season 3 was quite an achievement.

AMAZING episode. Coupled with the best Office episode in years, this was a fantastic night of comedy. We need a goddamn GIF of Ron constantly avoiding that old woman and swiveling around

I'm kind of glad this show isn't a huge hit. It'll probably get cancelled while it's still good. Hopefully we'll get one or two more amazing seasons before that happens.

I don't see it winning, even though it definitely deserves it. The Emmys get so much wrong that I just consider their rare good moves (Cranston threepeat) to be flukes.

True. There is no justice in the world.

I highly doubt it even gets nominated, given Emmy's affinity for hilarious "comedies" like Glee.

I love Community to pieces, but no television comedy has made me this happy or laugh as consistently as Parks has (especially this season).
 
This is by far the funniest show on TV right now. The last time I was so fond of fictional of fictional comedy characers was Arrested Development. Hope this show won't have the same fate...

Vote Knope for Hope!
 
30 Rock is still my favorite overall, but this season Parks won out big time. Best comedy on NBC this season for sure. Hope it wins the emmy (eh who gives a shit if it doesn't, as long as it gets renewed and maintains quality then that's good)

You know, I care very much that they win an Emmy. I don't know how much that recognition means to the cast and crew but I am just going to assume it means a lot. They should be rewarded with an Emmy after an amazing 2 seasons of comedy. Everyone likes to be acknowledged. They deserve it.

Amazing is all i can say to describe this season of Parks.

This is just the best thing on TV and they totally deserve any accolades that should be going their way.

Also My idiot brother is now a definite watch with my fantasy women Zooey and Rashida start making out with each other, whatever movie theater I'm in, someone better call the ambulance due me exploding of hotness overload ;)

Honestly, this was a pretty near flawless season. Only "Ron and Tammy Part II" and "Eagleton" really dragged down an otherwise excellent ride. And actually, looking back at Season 2, you'd have to go as far back as "Galentine's Day" to find a duffer.

... come to think of it, besides those three, I'd say the only episodes of the show I didn't like were "The Set Up", "Christmas Scandal", "Sister City", and "The Banquet".

37/44 excellent episodes is a pretty good record!
 
It is crazy how much I have fallen in love with this show and these characters. Perfect finale with some great lead ins for next season. I hope the next season doesn't start with 7wenty already having failed, and that they keep it going at least for a few episodes.

This show is just perfect.

The only episodes I've seen of this show are the first two of the first season, which were bad, and these last 4 episodes.

I never would've thought this show would get this amazing. Now I'll have to watch some more episodes on some sort of streaming service.

"Tammy 1?"

Ron's face is priceless hahahahahaha.
I'm simultaneously scared and laughing

I'm a pretty damn big Community fan and while I'd argue for season 1 of that over season 2 of parks, Season 3 of Parks>>Season 2 of Community. No matter what, we win: the two best network comedies are back to back next year and I can't fucking wait

I'm surprised so many people liked Eagleton. I thought it was a pretty weak episode in an otherwise amazing season.

I liked most of the minute-to-minute jokes and especially the contrast between the trashy idiots at the Pawnee public forum versus the country club-style forum in Eagleton (even a bad episode of P&R is still a great episode of TV) and the payoff for Ron...

... but the A-story of Leslie and whatever Parker Posey's character's name was was totally underwhelming, and I really don't feel like the B-story of Ron's birthday saves it.

It still had some great lines with the cultish behavior of the town, "...so the air smells like vanilla.", and "Garbage fight!" (Andy was on fire that episode).

It also does more world building for the show so I am sure we will see more about Eagleton in the future.
 
I love community but for different reasons. Parks has always made me laugh consistently. Every single person is funny and fits. In community that's not always the case.

This is how you do a season finale. It actually felt final and left questions. No other show so far has left me satisfied like this. Perfect season.
 
Absolutely fantastic finale, and my only concern now is that the setup for S4 could shake things up too much - Tom off with Jean-Ralphio at Entertainment720, Leslie potentially off to political office (or at least campaigning etc.), Chris's shakeup of the other P&R staff etc.

Perhaps a lot will be rolled back in the first episode or two of S4, but it seems like there's potential for it to go wrong. For example, if Tom sticks with Entertainment720 then what was a fantastic little part of the last ep could easily outstay its welcome, and too much Jean-Ralphio could ruin that character.
