Chris Pratt was only meant to be a recurring character in season 1 only but everyone loved his performance so much the made him a main cast member for the rest of the series
I binge watched the entire series on Amazon Prime. Well, most of it, I got halfway through the final season before Amazon removed it, so I just download the rest.
This show really doesn't take off until the middle of Season 2. For me the point it really starts getting good is the episode "Ron and Tammy". After that it all pretty great.
You may not be too excited for this show right now but after the first few episodes it gets way better, and season 2 and on is honestly one of the best shows of this generation. Not even joking. Other than community there isn't much better than this.
Favorite show of all time: it’s a slow burn but by the middle of season 2 I was hooked. It gets MUCH better upon the arrival of a few new characters later on.
The enthusiastic reaction to this very first episode makes me happy. I started watching because I saw two non show clips that had Parks & Rec lines dubbed over them, and I liked them, so I decided to find the show. I find out the lines are from S3 and I'm like....."Fuck you completionist side of me, now I have to watch from the beginning to get context." I was very un-enthused by S1, it's actually the only season I haven't rewatched, the best parts for me were Ron and Tom. But then the very first episode of S2 was super funny to me so I stuck with it. And I'm glad I did. This is one of my favorite shows and I'm gonna love this reaction series.
Just think of season 1 as a so-so 2-hour pilot where they're finding their feet and figuring out what needs work. Then season 2 hits the ground running from the opening minute and consistently improves through it's run.
@@woodsie8965 Couldn't disagree with you more. It was damn near perfect for my money, a few minor quibbles aside. But we can't all agree all the time, all good.
@@KyleS3m3noff SPOILERS For me, the new "future tech" just felt really weird and out of place, made it feel more fake. And then the contrived falling out between Leslie and Ron, just for the sake of "drama" was really off putting. If there is one thing I hate, it's when one season leaves off with everyone in good standing, and then the start of the next, there is suddenly some random drama that happened off screen, that we are now left to pick up the pieces, and try to figure out. I din't find the season to be nearly funny or entertaining as previous seasons, even to the point I think the first season is better then the last. The season 6 Finale was a much better ending point in my opinion. With the official completion of the park, Ann and Chris moving away, and Leslie moving on to her new job. It just felt perfect to me. Season 7 felt like they were just trying to milk the series for one more season, and din't think it out very well.
@@woodsie8965 I feel ya, but there was a rather rather time jump (was it four years?) between seasons, and a lot can happen in four years, so the Ron/Leslie thing didn't ring false to me at all. In fact, for me it really helped the angle of every character getting their own farewell episode. Felt special.
I’m. So. Excited!!! Not for this, which is mediocre, but for what this turns into, which is going to take several months! What a fantastic journey we all get to go on together!!! We all need to stay up for the next six nights synchronizing everybody’s schedules to deliver the most efficient and life-affirming viewing experience for everybody, and planning the six month anniversary party, and personalizing everybody’s e-reminders for each episode, and planning the 25 YEAR anniversary party that we all have on Mars...
Oh my sweet jesus I'm so happy yall are watching this. I decided to watch the first episode last month and now I've binged nearly three whole show. I got like 14 episodes left.
B99 is great, but unfortunately there wouldn't be much to discuss afterwards for many of the episodes. The Good Place would be far more reaction-friendly, since practically every episode ends with a cliff hanger and introduces a new twist to the afterlife setting. Also, it's made by the same creator of Parks and Rec.
FINALLY! THIS IS LIKE- MY FAVORITE SITCOM BY FAR! I'VE REWATCHED PARKS AND REC SO MANY TIMES! I SOMETIMES JUST LET IT RUN WHILE I SLEEP! I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH PLEASE MAKE SURE TO FINISH IT!
This show is amazing, I like to re bringe it every year and i do usually skip most of the first season, its fun but its just the build up to an awesomely funny show!
haha I like Breaking Bad but not really interested in watching it again. I need to watch MHA on my own first on my channel. Naruto would be cool. I've actually only read the manga.
Awesome you guys are getting to one of my favorite comedies of all time! Fun fact, April's character wasn't written into the show until Aubrey Plaza met with the creator Michael Schur for unrelated reasons. They immediately wrote April in just so Aubrey Plaza could play essentially herself. Also, the bum in the slide in the first episode reappears in the very last episode in one of the last scenes to ask the Parks department to fix a swing.
So it begins. I look forward to seeing you guys react to more of the series. I love how genuinely good Leslie is. The world can be hard on people. It would be easy to fall into a pit of cynicism. But not Leslie. She fights against that pit with everything she has to help others.
They tried way to hard to be like The Office in season one. Leslie is a completely different character by the end of season two when she stopped acting like Michael Scott and became her own character. I thought the show was just okay at first, but by the end it's become my favorite comedy series of all time.
So exited you are doing Parks and Rec it is one of my favourite shows ever. I binge it a couple of times a year so might watch along with you. I definitely recommend The Good Place. A lot of the same writers as Parks and The office and has some great twists.
Wow, half the comments are people whining about how The Office is the best thing ever 🙄 Just go support the show by watching it, enjoy yourself returning to your favourite episodes. Bashing other shows is so unnecessary.
+The Normies THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE COMEDY SERIES!! SO FUNNY! I think it is funny only when you understand who the characters are and know their personalities. But maybe I just find it so funny because of my past jobs in both parks and city government.
As an overall show this is better than the office in my opinion. The office started out amazing but then the quality went down in my opinion. Parks and Rec started out slow but then it becomes one of the best shows and the quality doesnt go down
Glad others have reinforced the notion that the first season is nowhere near as good as the rest. It starts getting epid mid season 2 and then gets better and better every season. Def in my top 5 comedies of all time.
I love this show and even I have trouble getting through season 1 at times. What everyone says is true. I’ll still watch every one of your reactions, though 😉
i have to watch parks and recs at least once a year. have to. season 1 is good but it starts doing great things in season 2. stick with it, kids, and let leslie and the gang take you on a wild ride of parks, public service, friendship and love!
Parks and rec s1 was so bad like so bad but the rest of the show is so amazing like I can’t even describe it. I’ve re-watched this show more times than I can count so u guys just have to get through s1(good thing it’s only 6eps) and the rest is amazing you won’t regret it i swear.
OMG YES! Just a tip: Season 1 is slow and tbh they don’t really know what to do with the characters yet. Stick with it and it’ll be the best decision you guys have made
oh my god this makes so happy rn. first season is not very good but it's keeps better later. and also i would like to see your reactions to arrested development and scrubs too someday.

Andy and Ron are the two best characters in the entire series.
@@Jeremy-jm3fe and April. I didn't like her at first but became one of my favourites.
@@amsheel9921 that how I felt with Tom
As well they should
Season 1 is okay and a good intro to the characters, but starting in season 2 the show gets 10x better. Kind of like the Office.
season 1 is good, from season 2 to the end is straight up one of the best comedies ever
I literally skip season 1 when I rewatch it, season 2 is a thousand times better
I always skip to the end of season 2. When Ben and Chris show up it gets great.
I quit watching for a while in season 1, but went back and loved it.
@@serenityq26 No, season 1 is trash.
YES YES YES! Season 1 is a little slow so please PLEASE stick with it. This is one of the greatest shows of all time
Agreed. I like season one, though. This pilot is hysterical.
You mean just like The Office Season 1
alberto sanchez exactly! Both parks and rec and the office have not very strong first seasons but incredible the rest of the way lol
Looks like they had a lot of fun. So dont worry
I binge watched the entire series on Amazon Prime. Well, most of it, I got halfway through the final season before Amazon removed it, so I just download the rest.
This show really doesn't take off until the middle of Season 2. For me the point it really starts getting good is the episode "Ron and Tammy". After that it all pretty great.
That's funny, I was sporadically watching Parks until Ron and Tammy, and after that ep I started binging it
Literally any episode with any of the Tammy's is gold
This show took off the moment MouseRat was a thing!
I disagree. Love season one
Flu Season cemented it for me.
You may not be too excited for this show right now but after the first few episodes it gets way better, and season 2 and on is honestly one of the best shows of this generation. Not even joking. Other than community there isn't much better than this.
Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica.
Well, the first 3 seasons of arrested development are pretty great. But I agree. Two amazing comedies
Office way better
How I met your mother will always be one of my favorite shows
My thoughts exactly. I feel like I'm one of the few people that prefers Parks and Rec over The Office
Ron Swanson is my spirit animal.
LOL...same here.
*spirit
Mine is ... Duke Silver.
Favorite show of all time: it’s a slow burn but by the middle of season 2 I was hooked. It gets MUCH better upon the arrival of a few new characters later on.
@@serenityq26 ben and chris though
serenityq26 No, Mark was in the main character crew in 1, Ben and Chris in the rest.
serenityq26 Aren’t you forgetting
*spoilers*
Chris and Ben? They’re apart of the main cast from season three on.
@@serenityq26 nah ben and chris make the show 10x better
@@serenityq26 No it wasn't. No show is perfect from day 1.

The way you're laughing at this pilot episode makes me fear for the complete mayhem of exhilarating noises you'll produce later on. Keep rockin'!
Ron Swanson is the greatest human being to ever grace television. He's honestly on par with Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute , possibly greater.
Swansonism is my religion.
I might have even somewhat agreed until the second sentence. Nope nope nope. Knope is.
Just think of season 1 as a so-so 2-hour pilot where they're finding their feet and figuring out what needs work. Then season 2 hits the ground running from the opening minute and consistently improves through it's run.
Until the last season... which just made no sense?

This is going to be fun! I'm going to re-watch it again along with you guys, I am happy that Parks and Rec is going to be a part of my week again.
Pleasantly surprised that they're doing Parks and Rec! Now someone please notify me when they finally get to season 2.

Nobody
Normies: Thats that actor. From (Insert). Parks and rec helped launched their career.
You have NO IDEA how hype I am for this. Literally just finished an episode of this (I'm rewatching for like the fourth time)
For years I didnt know what the Aubrey Plaza hype was...then I was introduced to Parks and Rec...and she became the love of my life.
Oh my sweet jesus I'm so happy yall are watching this. I decided to watch the first episode last month and now I've binged nearly three whole show. I got like 14 episodes left.
Parks and Recreation is amazing. I'm excited to see these reactions

I'm really excited you're watching this, it's one of my favorite shows ever and I'm really happy this was chosen.
Yay!!!! You should watch Brooklyn Nine Nine too!
@Scar No. You are wrong. Its an amazing show. It went over your head.

Holy Sh*t YES.

I almost had nothing left to watch on your channel besides Agents of Shield after Korra ended, but now this? Yayyyy
Breaking Bad?
MHA?
Nautro next Wednesday
haha I like Breaking Bad but not really interested in watching it again. I need to watch MHA on my own first on my channel. Naruto would be cool. I've actually only read the manga.
@@ericreacts2 Wow, reactors watching other reactors on youtube. What is this, reactception?
So happy you're reacting to this series... underrated show and it only gets better!
"if you're going to the kitchen can you make some pancakes real quick" is my favorite Andy line of the whole series I think
You’re wrong it’s “it says you have connectivity problems” 😂😂😂
Oh Ann, still a beautiful and powerful Musk Ox.
So by rough calculation, 28 weeks (or July 25th?) is when they'll hit my favorite section of the show! I'm excited for them
Was looking for Parks n Rec reactions, didn't know you guys did it 5 years ago ! Wow you're all so young here.
You just gotta hang in there for the 1st season then this show turns to gold
Oh my GOD I LOVE PARKS AND REC!!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS SEEING THIS!!! IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!

OH MY GOD. Finally SOMEONE is reacting to this show, THANK YOU. Just don't get discouraged by the first season, it starts off slowly.
Hell yeah I’m super excited for this !!!!!
Watched this whole series in probably a week. Then rewatched it again right after. One of my favorite shows.
#LilSebastian
I’m so happy you guys are finally reacting to Parks and Recs!!!
Approach this show like you guys did with Agents of SHIELD. It might start of as kind of "meh", but it becomes amazing.
Hell yes, this finally earned my sub

andy is such a jerk in the first season but it's all worth it to see him turn into the sweetie for the rest of the series
Haven't watched this show in so many years. OMG I love it 😁😁😁 Yay for the Poll win!
I love parks and rec. Looks like I got a new playlist to watch
Great series! Looking forward to these reactions!
I haven't watched the early seasons in a while and I forgot that there was a character named Mark.
I love this show. Season 1 is only the introduction...
I literally screamed when I saw this. Never been more excited in my life!
Season 1 was pretty rough, but if you guys can hang in there it get's better with each season.
Why are the rest of the episodes hidden?
I love this show I just found out I have about 4 seasons worth of episodes of you reacting to this I can watch
"He has a claymore on his desk?"
Oh, don't worry. That will come up.
I hope they stick with it through season 1; so excited they're doing Parks and Rec!
Omg I've started rewatching this on my own just now. I'm on episode 3!
This is a show that grows on you. It gets better each season so stick with this.
So exited you are doing Parks and Rec it is one of my favourite shows ever. I binge it a couple of times a year so might watch along with you.
I definitely recommend The Good Place. A lot of the same writers as Parks and The office and has some great twists.
after finally finishing avatar/korra you're now reading the avatar comics and reacting to P&R???? HECK YES :D

Just go support the show by watching it, enjoy yourself returning to your favourite episodes. Bashing other shows is so unnecessary.
Omggggggggggg I love parks and rec so much I’m so excited
OMG! I'm Here! I'm here for this! . 😁
Wait, it's Christmas already?
Such a shame this show takes a while to get going, it’s one of my absolute favourites
I forget how funny season 1 is, just because it's season 2 onwards where the show picks up
This show is so much better than the office imo

I love this show and even I have trouble getting through season 1 at times. What everyone says is true. I’ll still watch every one of your reactions, though 😉
I wrote a Parks and Rec trivia night and one of the questions is about why Ron owes Mark a favour.

Watching the office first makes me feel that Leslie Knope = Michael Scott and the Tom Howardford = Dwight Schrute
Time to go buy some Lagavulin to drink whilst watching!
Show definitely finds its footing in season 2 but season 1 is great too! Every episode is just delightful.
PLEASE don’t judge the show from Season 1. It’s so good starting from around Season 2 that quitting it would just be disappointing
Parks and rec s1 was so bad like so bad but the rest of the show is so amazing like I can’t even describe it. I’ve re-watched this show more times than I can count so u guys just have to get through s1(good thing it’s only 6eps) and the rest is amazing you won’t regret it i swear.
How do people just forget what happens on a show? Like I haven’t watched ATLA in like more than 9 to 10 years but I remember most of the episodes.
oh wow! love that you guys are reacting to this. But like AoS, it gets really good from Season 2 and on.
Ron fucking Swanson, best character on TV
You've gotta do the office after this!
The first season isn't very good, except for the finale, but then it becomes pretty much the best comedy of all time.
i like this show better than the office. Parks and Rec is one of my favorite shows ever.
oh i cant wait for this reaction series, starts a little slow but its such a great show
So excited to see this!! 👍😊
OMG YES! Just a tip: Season 1 is slow and tbh they don’t really know what to do with the characters yet. Stick with it and it’ll be the best decision you guys have made
We want Parks and Rec reactions back, please chads!
I'm sooooooo here for this!
oh my god this makes so happy rn. first season is not very good but it's keeps better later. and also i would like to see your reactions to arrested development and scrubs too someday.
It’s worth watching Season 1 for the rest of the show
Parks and rec was the better show overall. The first season is ok, not great, but it becomes incredible from season 2 on.
