My overall rating for Season 2: 8.It's the end of Season 2, but just the beginning of the podcast now that RoLo is on the screen! Today Alan Yang and Rob Lowe discuss the season 2 finale of Parks and Recreation. The third and fourth seasons are in my opinion, the best seasons in the entire series, so if you thought season 2 was great, just wait until you see what's next. We have seen the show blossom into all this in just Season 2 alone, and things get even more funny and the show expands to even more heights in the next seasons. It has that perfect combination of funny and sweet, and takes place in a town that is almost like a character in its own right. Parks and Recreation is almost like a live-action version of The Simpsons. With that being said, I think the show really came into its own and has proven to be extremely original and fresh, unlike most other live-action sitcoms. I mean, when you have a season that is literally 18 episodes longer, it is bound to be an improvement. Also his gun-fire ring tone is amazing! Season 2 as a whole is a major improvement over Season 1. My favorite moments in all the "government shutting down debacle", are Ron' child-like glee over the entire situation. And conflict between Leslie and the new state auditors are reaching a boiling point as the Pawene government has temporarily been shut down. Tom's new relationship with Lucy is beginning to heat up. We see April and Andy's "will-they wont-they" storyline reach its conclusion. "Freddy Spaghetti" is a pretty funny episode in its own right, but what it does best is provide closure for a lot of on-going storylines that ran throughout the season. The writers used traits like how caring and hard-working she is in comedic ways. Even though they made her more smart, she became funnier as a character. A good example is main protagonist, Leslie Knope, who acted very air-headed and foolish in the first season, but has become a much more intelligent and dedicated government employee. I think the biggest improvement is how the characters developed and some even changed drastically from how they were depicted in Season 1. They found the right tone, the writing became much stronger, and the characters really came into their own. With Season 2, the writers were given the opportunity of having a full season to help build upon the much shorter Season 1. What a long, but entertaining journey it has been. So we have made it to the end of Season 2.
