These beloved series had some pretty close calls.

Interim Parks and Recreation Director, Frank Wittenberg, has resigned from his position.

The announcement comes along with the elimination of 37 positions within the Parks and Recreation department in Lafayette.

These are the best supercuts we’ve seen in a while.

All the characters will be back for a new episode about social distancing.

Lafayette Parks and Recreation Department has announced registration for several youth programs this fall.

Bless the Parks and Recreation cast, and the political optimism they’ve come to embody. Following an NRA attempt to co-opt the image of Leslie Knope over Twitter, creator Mike Schur and stars Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler are letting the pro-gun organization have it.

As if you hadn’t enough trouble keeping The Handmaiden and The Handmaid’s Tale separate, Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman are adding a new wrinkle. The Parks and Recreation pair will host The Handmade Project, a new NBC reality competition for craft-making.

Perhaps no TV icon had been so influenced by Hillary Clinton as Parks and Recreation’s Leslie Knope, lending this week’s election an extra degree of sadness. Now, a writer from the series pens a letter to America in the wake of Donald Trump’s election, reminding women “You are going to run this country, and this world, very soon.”

We’ve all needed to retreat from reality at one point or another during Election 2016, only to find even our beloved Parks and Recreation eerily mirroring our choices. Thankfully, Ron Swanson is here to knock some sense into us, as Nick Offerman reveals his grizzled counterpart’s take on the 2016 election.

It seems every week we get a new piece of bad news concerning Louisiana's current financial budget crisis. This week has followed suit as Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser says more than half of Louisiana's state parks, museums, and historic sites could close in 2017 as part of efforts to fix the budget. You know, if we were this inept at our jobs, we would be shown the door in a heartbeat.

The future of ‘Parks and Recreation’ looks especially grim, but only by the fact that 2015 will bring us the last 13 episodes ever, rather than the spiffy-looking 2017 the characters seem to be enjoying. Drones drop off our packages, Chris Pratt has his own TV show, and more await in the first trailer for the final season of NBC’s ‘Parks and Recreation!’

A crying baby is no fun, but when Larry Gallagher's son gets fussy, all he has to do is break out the 'Parks and Recreation' theme song. Watch as this toddler completely loses all focus of everything but the P&R theme when it comes on.
