This week we review - Parks & Recreation (Series 3 Episode 1)
Parks and Recreation is an American political satire sitcom television series created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur.
It stars Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope, a perky, mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks Department of Pawnee, a fictional town in Indiana. The ensemble and supporting cast features Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott and Rob Lowe.
The writers researched local California politics for the series, and consulted with urban planners and elected officials and the Leslie Knope character underwent major changes after the first season, in response to audience feedback that the character seemed unintelligent and "ditzy".
