The first season of Parks and Recreation in my humble opinion was abysmal. I mean, I laughed more watching Antique Roadshow. But this second season, wow. I don't know if the P&R writers started taking funny steroids or what, but its sophomore season has been phenomenal. All the characters are developing in such a natural yet hysterical manner, especially Ron and Tom (played by Aziz Ansari), who slayed me with this line in a recent episode when trying to give Christmas gift advice to Mark:
Women love diamonds, even the super left-wing chicks who saw Blood Diamond and cried. When they get one, they’re like "Yea! Give me more blood diamonds. Make them extra bloody."
Dare I say it, but I actually prefer Parks and Recreation over the comparative The Office.
