This is very, very good news! NBC has decided to pick up Parks & Recreation for a third season to debut next fall. Apparently the show had “production timing issues” which made such an early renewal necessary. Whatever that means…it looks like Parks & Rec is here to stay. Just can’t get enough of Leslie Knope, Tom Haverford, Ann Perkins, Ron Swanson, and Andy Dwyer. Oh yeah, Jerry too. Season 2 has brought Parks & Rec into the mainstream and has already proved itself to be a worthy contender in TV comedy. Having dropped the overly recurring theme of building Leslie’s dream park, the writers have taken the show in a new, better direction this season, following the antics of the bumbling yet lovable Leslie Knop. If you haven’t seen The Office-esque Parks & Rec, please do yourself a huge favor and watch “Hunting Trip.” It’s not only the funniest episode of this season thus far, it also happens to be one of my all-time favorite episodes from any comedy.
In other related TV show renewal news, CBS picked up How I Met Your Mother, NCIS: LA; and The Good Wife.
