I am so glad this show is back. I miss Mark a little bit, but only in reflection, because I liked the actor. Watching the show I don’t even think of him. I am so glad they went with having her give an awesome speech. A drug ridden speech would have been godawful.

Two episodes back and I already think this season is going to be even better than last season.

They do this practically every week on Comedy Death Ray Radio, in a segment called “Would You Rather..?”.

Yep! And a lot of the Parks & Rec writers and actors have been on CDRR multiple times. Not a coincidence that WYR popped up on the show.

Wow. The Meat Tornado episode was amazing. What’s going on with Parks and Rec just getting better and better.
