    The series ends with the reveal that Sam Beckett actually leaped into Leslie in the pilot episode ("Ohhhhh, boy") and has been in control ever since. In the final scene, Sam leaps out, having righted what once went wrong.

    And then a title card comes up telling us that (Quantum Leap spoilers y'all!)
    Dr. Samuel Beckett never returned home.

    Here's a great read on P&R.

    I'm going to be miserable after tonight with no more P&R.

    I caught up on the final season recently, and it made me wistful about how good P&R was.

    It went from a pale imitation of the Office to something much better. I can't recall any show that has ever been so funny while also being so nice. The show loves its characters even when it makes fun of them.

    I wish we had more shows like that.

    It is certainly ending at the right time, which The Office did not. I think The Office at it's peak (in my opinion) was a little better than Parks at it's peak, but not having to watch two seasons without Amy Poehler definitely works in Parks favor.

    Nah, Becket didn't leap into Leslie until the beginning of Season Two

    I won't argue with anyone saying Parks is better than the Office, but I will stand over here disagreeing quietly

    it's hard to even compare the two for me

    parks was probably more enjoyable to watch because everybody liked each other and there was never any real risk that conflicts wouldn't be resolved

    but parks also never put me through an episode like dinner party

  • BalefuegoBalefuego Registered User regular
    Even during the rougher parts of season 6 I never felt like Parks was a chore, and The Office eventually got bad enough that make me not want to watch it anymore.

    And I think the best of Parks holds up just as well to the best parts of The Office without any of the Robert California shaped valleys.

    The Office was one of my first favorite shows

    And yet there are about 3 entire seasons of it that I've never seen and never will see

    “The Daily Show” duo Samantha Bee and Jason Jones have been handed a 10-episode series order from TBS for a comedy inspired by their own family road trips, Variety has learned.

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    Season two of the Office is one of my favorite seasons of television of all time. And season three isn't far behind. Season 8 was, admittedly, pretty bad, primarily because Andy became just...the worst character, but even those late seasons had fun bits. Erin was a really great addition to the cast, for instance.

    Erin was one of my favorite characters. So was Andy for a while. The way his character was...handled...in Season 9 (and some of later Season 8) might be my least favorite thing the show ever did.

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    I thought Season 9 stranded on a boat and off my television Andy was the best Andy since "punching holes through walls" Andy

    Anyways: post your favorite Parks scenes, y'all.

    Here's probably the best Jean Ralphio scene in a walk

    I adore Parks and Rec,

    But The Office gave us 'Dinner Party' and 'Scott's Tots'.

    When The Office was on point it may have been the strongest a sitcom as I have ever seen.

    Oh wait, no, I think this was my favorite scene. I love the responses of "Falling in love!" and "Partner dies on top of you!"

    I am now concerned about the future of the Daily Show

    All the natural lines of succession have been cut

    They're gonna have to bring in someone entirely new and they'll probably want to throw out the whole writing staff

    It's basically going to be a new show
