News is a few days old but I haven't seen it posted:
NBC renews "Parks and Recreation" for third season
NBC has renewed the comedy "Parks and Recreation" for a third season.
The early pickup was done strictly for production reasons, to lock in actors' schedules, a representative for NBC said, stressing that the sole pickup in no means reflects on the renewal chances of NBC's other Thursday comedies.
Indeed, "The Office," "30 Rock" and freshman "Community," which pull higher ratings than "Parks," all look set to return for another season.
After a soft start as a midseason entry last spring, "Parks," which stars Amy Poehler and Aziz Ansari, has been gaining steam this season creatively and ratings-wise.
Season to date, "Parks" has averaged 5.1 million viewers.
If you're not watching P&R, you're missing the best comedy on TV right now. Community also needs to get picked up though.

I agree. P&R is currently the best of the 3. Community is second, and while still maintaining a bit of its charm, the Office is third.

I watched several episodes. I might have laughed once. It feels like it is trying too hard. I do like Community though.

Yay, I was scared I wouldn't get my weekly dose of Aziz.

I LOVE P&R, although like most incredible US shows, it never get's aired here in the UK so I had to purchase the first Season from the US.

Ive tried watching it, but for the life of me I cant find Amy funny. I can absolutely agree. I've watched the last 3 episodes now that have aired, and I can agree completely. However, there are more characters on the show, and I have found them to be a hoot. |

I watched the first few episodes, then I got behind, and now I can't get caught up.

Hoping DJ Roomba( don't know if i spelled it right) shows up more. It was hilarious. Parks is the best out of the four right now.

 I love NBC's Thursday line-up. Community then P&R, and to cap it off (for me) The office. |

This is only a few days old? I thought I remember Michael Schur talking about it a long time ago on Twitter.
Either way, I've never been that big a fan of the show, but I know others are, so that's cool. I've always saw it as a "poor man's version" of the Office. And I don't buy Amy Poehler as the main character.

I'm very happy to have recently got in to this series. Because it's sooo much better than The Office. I felt like I was being tortured while waiting for Entourage to come back. Now I have something good to watch.

The Office used to be the best. But it's sort of lost it's lure. I just don't like Jim as an authority figure who's a smart ass most of the time. I don't like that Pam & him are always so happy together. I loved that he was trying to chase Pam in the first couple Seasons, but since then - it's not AS good. Still an awesome show, just lost some of it's tasty seasoning.
