Where to Watch NBC's Parks and Recreation
It's never been easier to catch up with Leslie Knope and the gang.
Everyone has a favorite comfort show they can rewatch again and again. For fans of humor and small town shenanigans, it's the NBC comedy series Parks and Recreation.
The mockumentary-style series starring SNL alum Amy Poehler as the endlessly-optimistic Leslie Knope has a special place in fans' hearts. The show centered on all of the shenanigans that Knope and her fellow employees at the Parks and Recreation Division in Pawnee, Indiana got into.
Every Parks and Recreation fan has a favorite episode, whether it's the Snake Juice or Lil' Sebastian ones — and where would we be today without the "Treat Yo' Self" ideology? (Yes, we have Parks and Recreation to thank for that, too.)
Starring Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt among others alongside Poehler, the Parks and Recreation cast is comedy gold.
