You’re the president of the Sheinhardt Wig Company; one of your subisaries, NBC, is coming in over budget, you need to remove one character. Who do you kill? ---

As of now my vote ties Tommy with Donna. Tommy is a distraction, and he’s not very likable. I enjoy the fact that he gets on so well with conservative Ron, but if Tommy were missing, we wouldn’t be missing a whole lot. And, it’s Pawnee. We don’t need any of the stuff that later seasons’ Tommy offers. Donna is a basic homegirl and fits right in. I see Ann with one kill-off (currently), but she was written out anyway, so no need to kill her off. I don’t have the heart to kill of \*erry. ---

Chris. Do you have to think about it? ---

I’ll be the first to kill off Ron. He was a funny character the first few seasons but got too cartoonish for my tastes. ---

Chris. No doubt. Not funny or needed in any episode. ---

Andy - he’s a HUGE, unfunny jackass. Plus, I would have April all to myself. ---

It was Mark, the city planner. I figure he fell in that open hole and was never heard from again. ---

The thought of killing off any Parks & Rec character makes me want to cry, but if it had to happen can we add Jean-Ralphio and Mona Lisa to the list? As it stands I’d have to say Tom though. With Ben as second place. ---

Noooo! Don’t kill any of them! Can I vote for Li’l Sebastian, since he’s already dead? Okay, fine. Donna. But only out of protest. ---

Nope, won’t do it. _Maybe_ Ann. ---

As much as I like Rashida Jones, Ann was the Aquaman of Parks & Recreation – they needed to keep coming up with lame excuses to have her hanging around the office.
