"People could learn a lot about how to treat someone you don’t agree with all the time from that show. The core of Parks and Rec, to me at least, was groups of two people who were opposites (Ron and Leslie, Chris and Ben, April and Andy, Donna and Tom, Jerry and everybody), but the differences make them stronger, not weaker."
"Parks and Rec just has an intrinsic optimism that makes it more uplifting than many other sitcoms."
