Aubrey Plaza recommends this amazing review of Parks and Recreation

Aubrey Plaza linked to this great review of the show (apparently she's a crush). Check out the bolded part about Aubrey...



With all due respect to fans of Modern Family, The Office and Curb Your Enthusiasm... Parks and Rec is the Wu Tang of Comedy... This, no doubt, comes as a shock to people who dipped their toes in last season and left disappointed. We know. We understand. The first six episodes blew. The creative team has said that run last spring was really one extended pilot. That's true—and a shame. Because it turned off a lot of viewers

But while no one was watching, the focus changed. Amy Poeher's parks commissioner Leslie softened. The limp romance between Mark (Paul Schneider) and Ann (Rashida Jones) moved to the background. The true lunatic weirdness of the show—from Chris Pratt's pit-dwelling, shoe-shining, Deal Or No Deal-auditioning Andy to Nick Offerman's lover of brown haired ladies and breakfast food Ron Swanson—started to emerge. It's got the deepest bench on TV. (Aziz Anzari = brilliant. Aubrey Plaza is our biggest entertainment crush right now.) The best guest stars. (LouisCK, Megan Mullally, Fred Armisan.) And, of course, Amy Poehler, whose warmth and willingness to totally humiliate herself confirmed what we always knew: she's one of the best comedians working today.

For all that, though, the real star of the show is Pawnee. Unlike The Office, which exists in a hermetically sealed lucite box of sadness that hits WAY too close to home these days, Parks and Recreation pulls back the lens and lets the town become a character. Just off the top of my head, here are a few details of what we've learned about Indiana's finest city. It has...

–An anti-semitic past that is celebrated in mural form
–A library department that is a group of "punk ass book jockeys" and the "worst group of people ever assembled"
–Raccoons that aren't nocturnal and tend to attack children
–A sewer department overrun with floozies
–A gay bar and a strip club and a nipple factory and a restaurant named The Jurrasic Fork
–And, of course, a giant pit that the government can't seem to get filled

Reminds you of something, doesn't it? Springfield. And while we know that any comparison's to the Golden Age of The Simpsons is heady praise that borders on sacrilege, it's deserved. Parks and Recreation is absurd. Hilarious. Packed with polished jokes, unexpected turns, and boasting real heart. Simply put, this is the funniest show on television right now. America, start watching. You're missing something special.

(We'll return to our regularly scheduled power rankings when the NBC lineup returns after the holidays.)

Switchblade thinks Aubrey Plaza is Hilarious

Does anyone else have a comedy crush on Aubrey Plaza? ‘Cause I sure do. Week after week she manages to steal the show on Parks and Recreation which is no easy feat when you’re up against Amy Poehler, Aziz Ansari, and Louis CK. Somehow she does it though because she… is… electric awesome.

What’s that deer? What? You’re an alcoholic? Fine, I’ll enable you.

Gabe and Linsday fight about "Parks and Recreation"



Even though Lindsay and Gabe are friends, they very rarely agree on anything. Every day, they have a fight about something. [Today it's Parks and Recreations]

gabe: did you like parks and recreation?
gabe: be honest
gabe: do not do that thing you do
gabe: where you pretend to like something you don't like
gabe: out of some kind of moral obligation
lindsay: well, I was keeping expectations extremely low, so it surprised me with being less mediocre than I expected
lindsay: while still kind of mediocre
lindsay: but I knew it would be?
lindsay: Pilots are always weird.
lindsay: ALWAYS
lindsay: every pilot is weird
lindsay: except eastbound and down
gabe: the first episode of Eastbound and Down
gabe: changed things
lindsay: but every other pilot
gabe: that's not a valid argument anymore

lindsay: haha
lindsay: jinx
lindsay: eastbound and down as an example jinx
lindsay: I'm sure if parks and recreation could have had a naked waterskiiing scene, they would.

gabe: jetskiing
gabe: PAY ATTENTION
lindsay: sorry!
lindsay: yes
lindsay: but you know what surprised me about parks and recreation?
lindsay: they're making leslie a kind of crazy slut?
gabe: what is that, lindsay?
lindsay: which is great?
lindsay: it's a little bit shocking for prime time network tv
lindsay: still
lindsay: especially for a show that seems like it's pandering a little bit to what it thinks americans want
gabe: obviously there are lots of shows that start out rough and get really great later on
gabe: and i have no problem with personally extending parks and recreation a ton of good will
gabe: but there ARE shows that start out great
gabe: West Wing, for example
gabe: first episode of that was already a winner



lindsay: That was another time!
lindsay: Look at 30 Rock, though
lindsay: I remember feeling awkward and weird about the pilot.
lindsay: But now, you look back
lindsay: and it's all there - all of the elements that make the show great are there in the pilot
lindsay: there's just an adjustment that you have to go through with a new show
lindsay: also, if you tend to like weird stuff, they can't do that with the first episode on a network
lindsay: they have to be as broad as possible
gabe: that's such a weird, network-y attitude to have
gabe: you are basically a spokesperson for NBC
gabe: i mean, i think you're right that there are certain realities that have to be faced for a show to survive
gabe: on a major scale
gabe: but i also think that it's weird to say that a show has to be boring and mediocre
lindsay: I'm not saying it's how it should be!
lindsay: no
gabe: well, you're kind of saying that
lindsay: I don't think it needed to be that mediocre.
gabe: Arrested Development, another great pilot
gabe: also: Friday Night Lights
gabe: all shows with outstanding first episodes
lindsay: haha
lindsay: all shows with terrible ratings
gabe: well, since i don't make any money off of a show's success
lindsay: in fact, all of our good pilot examples have bad ratings
gabe: i personally do not care about ratings
lindsay: me neither
gabe: that argument is completely beside the point
lindsay: I said, it didn't have to be as mediocre as it was
gabe: that's like saying that Extreme Makeover is good
gabe: because it did really well in the target demo
gabe: last week
lindsay: but it is something to notice
lindsay: come on the itch stick guy was hilarious
lindsay: the itch stick!
lindsay: what was on the end of it? gross!
lindsay: that was the best part for me
gabe: no, the itch stick guy was funny
gabe: not hilarious
gabe: that's the problem
gabe: the highlight of the show was "funny"
lindsay: it didn't last long enough
gabe: nothing was hilarious
gabe: oh come on, it lasted long enough
gabe: there was plenty of itch-stick guy
gabe: in the pilot of Parks and Recreation
gabe: it is not Itch Stick Guy and Recreation
lindsay: they should make the entire show about the itch stick guy
lindsay: and aziz
gabe: it is weird how the show is basically a spin-off of the office but isn't a spin-off of the office
gabe: there is a lot of cognitive dissonance there
gabe: i mean, there's already a Jim and a Michael Scott
gabe: basically
gabe: plus the shaky-cam fauxumentary
lindsay: yes
lindsay: I think we should find out that leslie knope is michael scott's half sister
gabe: the thing is, the UK Office
gabe: actually made contextual sense
lindsay: though that would cause problems with rashida jones
gabe: because the BBC had already run documentary shows
gabe: like The Airport
gabe: and there was one about a cruise ship I think?
lindsay: yeah, I think they'll explain though
lindsay: like maybe next week we'll actually meet the crew
gabe: and here it's already detached from that just on The Office
gabe: it's missing that extra element
gabe: so to then divorce it further into this weird subset
gabe: with cross-over acting from Rashida Jones
gabe: it's weird
gabe: the show feels kind of weird
lindsay: well we're supposed to feel uncomfortable
gabe: haha, that's NOT what i'm talking about
lindsay: so maybe they're not making us uncomfortable enough
gabe: the show is not uncomfortable
gabe: the show is weird
lindsay: like, it just feels like an awkward show
gabe: it is weird for structural reasons
gabe: and that makes me worry
gabe: that it's not just PIlot Blues
lindsay: I guess I believe in the team behind it enough that I think they probably have tricks up their sleeve.
lindsay: that next week will be really different
lindsay: I mean, they have to be one step ahead, right?
gabe: one can hope
lindsay: this can't be all there is.
gabe: but they've definitely painted themselves into some corners
lindsay: I mean that literally: I don't believe it is.
gabe: you did not mean that figuratively
gabe: as in Parks and Recreation is a metaphor for the universe
lindsay: well it sounds really insulting to the show
lindsay: when what I mean is I trust them more
gabe: god forbid
lindsay: I'm really naive
lindsay: and idealistic about television
gabe: god forbid you insult people making hundreds and thousands of dollars to provide entertainment to millions of people
gabe: in an IM conversation
lindsay: that they will never see
lindsay: right
lindsay: no, I just don't want to be wrong later
lindsay: when the show takes crazy turns
gabe: well, you could still be wrong later now
gabe: if the show DOESN'T take crazy turns
lindsay: it's true
lindsay: but I believe it will
gabe: the possibility to be wrong in the future is CONSTANT
gabe: LIVE IN THE NOW
gabe: i don't think there is anyone in the entire world
gabe: who thinks "Lindsay Robertson hates Parks and Recreation and is giving it no good will towards finding its footing and being one of her favorite shows of all time yay!"
gabe: there are few certainties in this world
gabe: but your undying devotion towards Thursday night NBC comedies is one of them
lindsay: hahaaha
lindsay: EVEN KATH AND KIM.
lindsay: wow
lindsay: it's like ben silverman is my boyfriend
gabe: seriously, i don't even know why you're here, you should be working in NBC's publicity department. you'd probably make more $$$$$
lindsay: maybe I do!
gabe: look, everyone wants amy poehler and aziz ansari to succeed



gabe: i'm also a paul schneider fan
lindsay: I figured
gabe: but i don't think that it's inappropriate to remind this show
gabe: that IT BETTER DRUMLINE
lindsay: I think the show is going to take a turn for being about personal lives more than boring government
lindsay: hence the "recreation"
gabe: haha, nice close read of the sitcom title
gabe: you should be a professor of Sitcom Title Semantics
gabe: the argument that pilots are always bad just doesn't float for me anymore
gabe: and that doesn't mean i won't give shows more than a pilot
gabe: OF COURSE I WILL
gabe: I'M NOT A MONSTER
gabe: but it still makes me wonder why a show isn't great out of the gate
gabe: it's been proven that that's possible
lindsay: I can't think of a show I totally loved out of the gate other than eastbound
gabe: a show will almost inevitably get better as you get more involved with it and understand the characters more deeply
gabe: but if you don't get there in the first couple of episodes
gabe: it makes me wonder why not
lindsay: true
lindsay: look at two and a half men.
lindsay: the first episode had only four or five punchlines about semen said in front of a chiild!
gabe: haha
lindsay: Are you going to watch parks and recreation next week?
gabe: yes
gabe: of course i am
lindsay: ok, me too
gabe: ok
gabe: so did we do it?
gabe: did we solve entertainment?

'Parks and Recreation' review - by Sepinwall


Tina Fey in "30 Rock" and Amy Poehler in "Parks and Recreation."

If, as a wise man once suggested, there's such a fine line between stupid and clever, then the line gets even finer between clever and genuinely funny. Humor is such a delicate thing that it may not take much for a mediocre comedy to suddenly become a very good one, as NBC's "Parks and Recreation" has, or for a great comedy to produce some sub-par episodes, as "30 Rock" has at the start of its fourth season.

Neither development is all that surprising. Comedies can take a while to find themselves, as "Parks and Recreation" has, and "30 Rock" sets such a high degree of difficulty for itself that some episodes will inevitably fail to stick the landing.

But even though Tina Fey is the Emmy-approved darling of the TV business, at the moment it's her old "SNL" pal Amy Poehler whose show is the best piece of NBC's Thursday sitcom bloc.

Though "Parks and Recreation" wasn't "The Office" spin-off NBC had been hoping for, the episodes produced last season were uncomfortably close to what was going on at Dunder-Mifflin Scranton. Poehler's Leslie Knope, a mid-level bureaucrat in the Pawnee, Ind., parks department, was as cheerfully clueless as Michael Scott. In particular, she resembled the Michael of the early episodes, before "Office" writers like Greg Daniels and Michael Schur (the "P&R" creators) figured out how to soften him enough that you could understand how the man kept a job.

It wasn't until the last of those six spring episodes that Leslie developed some self-awareness and the show became much funnier for that. That trend has continued this season. Leslie still has an inflated sense of her job's importance and she still gets too enthusiastic at times, but she's not always dialed up to 11, and it makes sense why more laid-back supporting characters like city planner Mark Brendanawicz (Paul Schneider) or nurse Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) would want to be her friend.

"I think what the writers intended as 'takes her job too seriously' read to some people as 'oblivious,' " Schur acknowledged in an interview earlier last month. "So we corrected a little for that this year in the scripts."

And by reining in Leslie just a little, Daniels, Schur and company have allowed the other characters to shine more. As Leslie's disinterested but fearsome boss, Ron Swanson, Nick Offerman is delivering a master class in comic minimalism; the less effort he seems to expend in a scene, the more hilarious Ron becomes. (An inspired subplot a few weeks ago put Offerman together with the equally deadpan Aubrey Plaza, as the department's bored teenage intern April; it was like the two were competing to see who could go smaller, and the viewer was the winner.)

As Leslie's obnoxious officemate Tom Haverford, Aziz Ansari isn't doing anything differently from last year, but because Leslie isn't the twit she used to be, it seems a fairer fight when he tries to make fun of her. And though Schneider and Jones are primarily there as the straight man and woman, they're extremely likable and they can deliver when called upon to drive the comedy in a scene. (Jones had a fine time last week role-playing as Leslie's nightmare first date.) And stand-up comic Louis CK has been a wonderful addition as a plain-spoken cop who's sweet on Leslie, but uncomfortable expressing his feelings. ("I was attracted to her in a sexual manner . . . that was appropriate," he tells the "Office"-style documentary crew that follows the characters around.)

Tonight's show is another strong one, with Poehler's former "SNL" co-star Fred Armisen playing Leslie's counterpart from Pawnee's Venezuelan sister city. Where Leslie (who's not as geo-politically savvy as she thinks she is) expects poor and humble people, Armisen is an arrogant, insulting boor who likes to brag about his palatial villa with its four satellite dishes.

"I already know who wins 'Project Runway,' " he tells Leslie.

Placed in another potentially humiliating situation, Leslie puts on a happy face, not because she doesn't know any better (which is how she came across last year), but because she believes that's what her role models would do.

As she explains, "That's why people respect Hilary Clinton so much: nobody takes a punch like her. She's the strongest, smartest, punching bag in the world."

Parks & Recreation: Thursday, October 22, 2009



If you haven't been watching Parks and Recreation this season because the six episodes of last season still seemed to be finding their footing (read: they weren't very funny), then you may want to start checking it out. Not just an Office clone, Amy Poehler is no longer trying to be a blonde Michael Scott, and is instead playing park official Leslie as an earnest, if naive, public servant with an eccentric group of friends and co-workers.

Aziz Ansari steals every scene as the wannabe Pawnee player Tom Haverford (not his birth name), and Aubrey Plaza's intern April seems to be having an intergenerational deadpan monotone-off with Nick Offerman's boss-by-day, God-of-Sax-by-night Ron Swanson. Rashida Jones and Paul Schneider bring the cute as Ann and Mark (this show's Jam), and Chris Pratt brings the stupid as Ann's ex Andy. Tonight, NBC continues to spread the idea of volunteerism and public service by having Leslie and the rest of her "turn the ugly pit into a park" committee help out building a park in a neighboring town... which gets done in one day. So there's clearly something wrong with how they're doing things in Pawnee. Also, the group they help out is a real group called KaBOOM, in case you thought that was made-up.

Aubrey Plaza review - Parks and Recreation: Beauty Pageant



Kona had this to say about Aubrey in the "Beauty Pageant" episode...

I really enjoy April, mainly because I like Aubrey Plaza so much as an actress, so I liked seeing her as more a part of the "A" storyline this week. My only complaint, in fact, is that we didn't see more of her. I would have enjoyed her sucking up to Leslie more, or seeing more of her impressions. I am, however, glad that she quit. It just wouldn't have been right to have her up there being judged with the rest of the contestants.


Good to see the critics are giving her some props! NBC (and Amy), feature her more on the show!

Enjoy!

Aubrey Plaza is Amy Poehler's sidekick

"Office" Spinoff: Amy Poehler Has A Sidekick, and Her Name Is Aubrey Plaza



She's from Upright Citizens Brigade, (which, of course, is where Poehler first got known) and will be playing an intern who follows Amy's character, Leslie Knope, around.The pieces of this spinoff are coming together: Poehler will play "the deputy chairman of parks and recreations in Pawnee, Ind." Here's more info:
In the show, Leslie attempts to improve her town and advance her career by helping a local nurse (Rashida Jones, "The Office") turn a construction pit into a park. They're opposed by defensive bureaucrats, NIMBY neighbors and developers. She's helped and hindered by Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari, "Human Giant," "Scrubs"), another government official.

In the process, Leslie hopes to inspire her bored college intern (Aubrey Plaza) and reach her goal of becoming the first female President of the United States.
We likes. Anyway, Plaza's young, and her career is taking off: she's currently shooting Judd Apatow's Funny People, will be in a film premiering at Sundance, and has been cast in the upcoming Michael Cera movie Scott Pilgrim Against The World. She's funny, too.

Aubrey Plaza - Pic from "Parks and Recreation"

Aubrey Plaza stars as uninspired intern, April Ludgate, in NBC’s new comedy "Parks and Recreation."




From Emmy Award-winning executive producers Greg Daniels (NBC's "The Office," "King of the Hill") and Michael Schur (NBC's "The Office," "Saturday Night Live") comes a new mockumentary that looks at the exciting world of local government. The new half-hour comedy will examine the mundane but necessary ways that people interact with their government, and ask why it's frequently so complicated -- as everyone knows from standing in line at the DMV, applying for home construction permits, or trying to get the city to fix a pothole.

The documentary cameras follow Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler, NBC's "Saturday Night Live," "Baby Mama") a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana. In an attempt to beautify her town -- and advance her career -- Leslie takes on what should be a fairly simple project: help local nurse Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones, NBC's "The Office," "Unhitched") turn an abandoned construction pit into a community park. Opposing them are defensive bureaucrats, selfish neighbors, real estate developers, and single-issue fanatics -- whose weapons are lawsuits, the jumble of city codes, and the very democratic process that Leslie loves so much.



Leslie is alternately helped and undermined by her colleague, Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari, "Human Giant," "Scrubs"), who cheerfully exploits his government position for personal gain. She is also thwarted by her boss Ron Swanson, who is philosophically opposed to government in any form.

Helping Leslie and Ann navigate the Pawnee bureaucracy is charismatic city planner Mark Brendanawicz, whose outlook has been soured by 15 years of public service.

If they can pull it off, Leslie hopes that she also will have inspired her uninterested college intern April (Aubrey Plaza, "Mayne Street") and April's whole generation - all the while moving one step closer to her ultimate goal: becoming the first female president of the United States.

"Parks and Recreation" is a production of Deedle-Dee Productions and Universal Media Studios. Along with Daniels and Schur, Howard Klein also serves as executive producer for the series.
