Andy is getting his casts off. Thankfully, Leslie's boobs are alive to see it... and see Andy fall flat on his face as soon as he tries to stand. Muscular atrophy for the win! This was an interesting departure for the season finale, as it's the only episode that has taken place mostly outside of the government setting. It was nice to see the group just out for a night of fun. Of course things don't always go as planned.

Our intro snippet of life in Pawnee in this episode? Bags of dog poop flying through the air with Leslie in the middle of it. Have I mentioned what a classy broad she is? At least Tom had the sense to hide out in the car.

So we're falling into a little pattern here, each new episode beginning with a snippet of life in Leslie Knope's little corner of Pawnee. Today Leslie is on a nature hike, a city-run pre-teen program, which used to be a teen program until one of the teenage girls got pregnant. Well, you know what they say about there not being much to do in small towns...

Leslie, true to form, does something almost anyone with three brain cells wouldn't, and chows down on a plant she's unfamiliar with, which turns out to be bitter and causes her tongue to swell. Thus endeth the hike.

Tonight we are introduced to the world of small town government in the style of “The Office.” Amy Poehler plays the lead role in this new comedy produced by Greg Daniels and Michal Schur. Even though it’s a completely different theme, it may be difficult not to draw comparisons to its hit show predecessor.

So, how did the Pilot episode go? Let’s see…

We are introduced to the gang at Pawnee's Parks and Recreation department on April 9, 2009 in the Pilot episode!

SERIES PREMIERE--MAKE MY PIT A PARK— From Emmy Award-winning executive producers of “The Office” comes a new mockumentary that looks at the exciting world of local government. The documentary cameras follow Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana. In an attempt to beautify her town Leslie takes on what should be a fairly simple project: help local nurse Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) turn an abandoned construction pit into a community park. Leslie is alternately helped and undermined by her colleague, Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari), who cheerfully exploits his government position for personal gain. She is also thwarted by her boss Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) who is philosophically opposed to government in any form. Helping Leslie and Ann navigate the Pawnee bureaucracy is charismatic city planner Mark Brendanawicz (Paul Schneider), 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) 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.
