Bye Bye Li’l Sebastian: Remembering the Top Ten Recurring Characters of Parks and Recreation
During its rocky first season, Parks and Recreation faced much criticism for being too similar to The Office – Leslie was just a female Michael Scott, Ron Swanson was the new Dwight Schrute. Setting it in the vibrant and weird Indiana town of Pawnee instantly assuaged some of these fears.

’22 Jump Street’ is that rare anomaly of a great comedy sequel
