I'm really glad Adam Scott is on board full time, I was worried when I heard Paul Schneider was leaving that the show would lose its much-needed straight man.

Schneider had a really great final episode. He'd been a bit under or poorly used lately but that was really fantastic.
Great finale. Best comedy this year.

Anyone know where I can find Ron's ringtone? My wife died laughing so hard last night for at least a good solid 5 minutes from that. She just couldn't control herself. I wanna put it on my phone and see her reaction when my phone rings.

I'll admit that I haven't followed this show closely, but for the few episodes I did catch, I enjoyed them a lot. Was this 2nd season that just wrapped? Is there a consesus among P&R GAF that season 2 > 1?
cut out Ron's ringtone from the ep. volume is probably a bit low, and its only 1 shot, so you'll have to loop it yourself or let the phone do it at the default interval

Thanks for the confirmation, all. I didn't catch the hype during S1. It's gonna be fun watching S2 during the offseason...

I watched season 1 a while ago, and I watched about 4 episodes of season 2.
This past week I watched all of season 2. I'm in love.
I've always found Aubrey Plaza good-looking, but all I knew of her character was "unrealistically sarcastic." I was way off. She's so cute. :3 I just want to see her and Andy be happy. Stupid Andy and Ann.
End to Marks story was perfect. What a great character. Hope he can have a guest role in the future.
I love Adam Scott in anything.
Aziz Ansari. Nough said.
AND RON FUCKING SWANSON
So good. I shouldn't have stopped after season 1 (which was only mediocre to good).

So we finally got all caught up on this show. Yeah, Season 2 is so good. In terms of relative excitement for NBC shows we follow, I'd put Parks & Rec at the top now. Hopefully it's picked up a following on Netflix and DVD and is able to come back with a bang. The writing is pretty good but the cast is just so great they really make the show (kind of the opposite of The Office in its better days).

Why'd I ever stop watching this show?
Catching up on season 2 has been such a pleasant surprise, they've really nailed all the characters and made it a true stand out. Leslie is brilliant in particular.

I enjoyed season 1 although the leap in quality is undeniable - the show found itself and ran with it in season 2. I would give season 1 a shot for the chance you'll like it (you can always stop and start s2 if you don't enjoy it) but if you decide to skip it you definitely can. You won't miss much as far as story goes.

Yes.
The first season was so bad that I gave up on the show. It was only after reading massive amounts of praise that I got back into it via watching season 2 on Netflix streaming.
I wonder how much more popular the show would be if it hadn't had such a terrible first season?

Yeah, season 1 is embarrassingly bad compared with season 2. The writing in season 2 is lightyears better.

Ceres said:The first season isn't very good but there's a few bright spots. The main issue was their development of Leslie's character making it far too similar to Michael Scott. The development of her character improved greatly in the 2nd season, as did the entire Parks and Rec staff.
:lol
I think S2 made S1 a bit better, especially as far as Andy's concerned. You can go back and find a lot funnier now that he's developed a bit more.

I'm almost caught up - I only have five episodes left from S2. This show is hilarious, and I can't wait for S3 to start.
I don't think season 1 is worth skipping. Sure, it's incredibly uneven and nowhere near the realm of greatness that season 2 occupies. But had the show begun with a 22 episode season, I'm sure those first six episodes would have been just as rocky. The first season is great to watch because it shows how the show got to where it is now, making 2 that much better.

My advice on Season 1 is very similar to that of The Office: watch it, but don't let it dissuade you from watching Season 2.
On a related note, I pray that P&R never nosedives in quality like The Office has. But somehow I doubt it will be around long enough for that to happen.

Can't wait. Mark Brendanawicz will be missed though.
I had actually given up on this show after season 1. It seemed to be way too derivative of The Office and it just wasn't that good. The only reason I actually ended up tuning in for season 2 was because I had read that Louis CK was going to be appearing on a fairly regular basis. Of course this was cut short after his show got picked up by FX, but I'm still glad I did as the increase in quality over season 1 was stunning. Looking forward to season 3 for sure.
