The first season was really... shaky and the characters were all fairly different, it was still good, but this show REALLY, REALLY picked up with season two.
This show is as exciting as the office. The office is as fascinating as watching paint dry on the wall. Therefore, parks and recreation must be as fascinating as watching paint dry on the wall. Assuming, that the latter activity is extremely boring.
@yurikomuro Well, now that you brought up the Office comparison I must say this......I would rather have Ron Swanson as a boss than Michael Scott. Ron Swanson is the man.
I LOVE that Ron now parts his hair on the other side and he actually confronts them on why they are filming the Pawnee, IN Parks & Rec dept. This is something The Office has yet to address, which one of the many reasons P&R > The Office

There actually is a 3 second violation. It's called "3 in the key". Also, the shot clock in college bball is 35 seconds so there is no such thing as a 24 second violation in college bball.
@Scane2 its implied that he is, because bobby knight is a college coach. and also in the nba and in college ball there is 3 in the key. but its all good. still a funny scene.
This is the scene that made me a Parks & Rec fan for life. The fact that Ron Swanson worships Bob Knight tells you everything you need to know about his character. (BTW, I'm a Michigan State alum but Coach Knight is still considered a GOD in the Big Ten.)
Ron Swanson is my hero, I wish he was my dad....
... and my mother.
