I know "Parks and Recreation" doesn't do great in the ratings, but it seemed like NBC basically wanted to just get the show 'off the books' by putting the half-hour shows back-to-back, which made the final season maybe a couple months long.

Watching the marathon on Esquire (prior to Tuesday's series finale), there are really funny moments that I'll miss when the show goes off the air.

Pour a glass of Lagavulin Tuesday or drink "one shelf" this week.

It was a good show in the beginning and turned into a great show when some of the great writers left The Office to help. It made Parks so much better but hurt The Office considerably.

Saw on twitter that one of the writers (and occasional actor) from Parks died of an apparent overdose a few days ago. He played one of the hilarious Animal Control stoners. The short white dude.

They also decided to revamp Leslie's character after the first season, which played a big role in the improvement.

Esquire Network has been running a Parks and Rec marathon lately, and I almost forgot how awkward and different the first season was from the rest. Ron is much more personable, Leslie is a ditz, etc.

I think the introduction of Adam Scott and Rob Lowe (with Paul Schneider leaving) was a strong catalyst for change (for the better). I've never really cared for Donna's character, since she mostly just makes her eyes big while speaking.

I was watching the marathon on Esquire too and forgot a line from Leslie that made me laugh (the first time I watched it and when I saw it on Esquire):

"I'm gonna go see a man about some porcelain. I'm not buying cocaine." - at dinner with Ben (Road Trip)

I will commemorate the ending of "Parks and Rec" by ordering a Porterhouse steak cooked rare (first time ever, I usually get Med Rare) next time I go to a steakhouse. I forgot to do it the last time I ordered a steak.

So it'll either be a new experience or I'll get sick...or both.

I don't drink Scotch (Lagavulin), so I'll substitute a Jameson.

++++++++Spoiler

I instantly got angry when Chris said that, "Ann Arbor, TSUN is literally the greatest city I've ever lived in (but Pawnee is better)." - Must be too much Ohio State blood in me because just the sound of that got me angry.

Laughed when Ron said Chris was getting the better end of the deal when he was trading Wolverines for Hoosiers.

I think the writers were leaving it ambiguous at Garry's funeral whether Leslie or Ben was very important in 2048 (like President). That was a Secret Service agent in 2048, but they only went to 2035 with Leslie.

I guess it was all you can ask for in a series finale. I do wonder what happened to Andy when he moved to D.C. (if Johnny Karate caught on or something).

I believe I read that was Nick Offerman's actual canoe he was rowing (he made it in his woodshop).
