I wasn't a fan of Parks and Rec, but it's grown on me.

[–]deathbycockolate 24 points25 points ago

I watched the first season and REALLY didn't like it, but after that started to really enjoy it.

[–]mahurtama 15 points16 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You get by the first season and it really starts to pick up. I watched it occasionally with my gf and all of a sudden the show went from something we watched to something we really liked. TL;DR - Ron Swanson rocks.

[–]indefort 4 points5 points ago

Everyone keeps saying this, so my friend and I stopped marathonning to check how far away we were from the fabled season 2 and we were already almost done with it. :/

[–]mahurtama 13 points14 points ago

Then push on a bit longer. If you find that you don't like the show afterall, that's cool. We just can't be friends.

I appreciate you giving me the extra chance.

[–]pistonhonda 2 points3 points ago

The show became what it is today during the third season. The season opener, Go Big or Go Home, cements most characters into the roles they still fill in current episodes. If you do not enjoy the series by that episode, you will probably not enjoy future episodes either.

A few months later: "What you REALLY need to see is the Fourth season. Then you'll like the show."

[–]pistonhonda 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It may seem like I am arbitrarily moving the date up, but I make my comment for a reason. It is the first episode to transition from Mark Brendanawicz to Chris and Ben as main characters. Also, the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness is what I remember catapulting Ron Swanson to stardom. I liked Swanson before that episode, but Go Big or Go Home establishes Ron as one of the best characters on television.

I thought the first season was the best debut ever.

I'm a HUGE fan of Parks and Rec but I must say, the first season is pretty awful. When I tell people about the show I tell them to start on season 2.

[–]fullmetalraz 17 points18 points ago

You really don't miss much by skipping series 1 i've noticed, if anything you don't have to suffer the awkwardness of Anne and Andy as a couple.

[–]TriumphantTumbleweed 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

God I disagree with this so much. Ron and Andy in this season are fucking amazing.

[–]yethegodless 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're both right. Season one is really unbearable, but you also get, "I'm Ron ******ing Swanson." Best hernia ever on TV.

Isn't Ron Fucking Swanson in season 2? Episode 2, The Stakeout?

[–]yethegodless 4 points5 points ago

Is it that late? If so, then season one has few redeeming qualities.

Once it's post-brandanawicz, the series is perfection.

[–]drew22 0 points1 point ago

Really? Brendanawicz is one of my favorite characters. I would have loved to see him stay on.

[–]Zeydon -3 points-2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ehhh, Leslie's current romantic interest (the short guy) isn't very interesting.

Also, Tommy Hav's character may be a bit too extreme at times. I liked 2nd season the best.

The first season was pretty rocky, but now they have all the characters developed properly, and it is just perfect.

It still does, you just need to listen to the right rap to hear it.

[–]waterbellie 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Indeed. Also, one can make the argument for any type of music - if you're listening to the radio, and your target isn't pop, quit listening to the radio. Nothing of artistic quality is played on those waves; merely commercially viable tunes.

[–]Torch_Salesman 5 points6 points ago

I'm actually a fan of Adele. It's not music I'd pay to listen to, but I was genuinely happy when her songs would come on the radio. She's got a serious set of pipes on her.

Fuck yeah RSE. I like to think I "know" hip-hop, but everyone's tastes are different. Some of my favorites include Dilated Peoples, Immortal Technique, Jurassic 5, Jean Grae and my favorite local rapper (I'm from Maine) - Spose.

Kendrick Lamar has actually really grown on me as of late. The guy's got some talent.

[–]ShakyBonez 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'd heard of Kendrick, but never actually heard him until now...Good shit.

F dot Stokes is another I've been listening to a lot lately.

[–]Torch_Salesman 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This was actually the first song that I heard from Kendrick, and it was love at first listen.

I'd actually never heard Stokes before, but it seems I've found what I'm going to be listening to for the rest of the night.

I remember when rap talked about more than money and how often the artist does drugs/fucks bitches

To be fair, though, the underground rap scene is booming these days

[–]yeowoh 5 points6 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm the huge fan of rap/hiphop.

Pretty much since the beginning of rap, a lot of rap had a money, bitches, and drugs theme. Half of Rapper's Delight is bragging about cars and clothes. Hip hop was developed from urban city life. Which just happens to be surrounded by drugs and violence. We are talking about the roots... Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Kool Herc (who is in the new Yela video), Russell Simmons (YES!!!!) and more.

Granted there have been plenty rappers and songs over time that didn't, but a it has ALWAYS been a general theme in the music.

So you probably don't or your rose tinted glasses must be fucked up.

Shit I would even venture to say that they are going away from it further and further now, leaving that shit in the 90's.

Now listen to some Dead Prez

I've read some racist, homophobic, sexist bullshit on Reddit, but this is the comment that has offended me the most.

[–]JamoJustReddit 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Makes sense. All I did was make a remark on how one actor made this show better. But yeah, it was racist, homophobic, and sexist. Couldn't agree with you more.

[–]underweird 0 points1 point ago

It was a joke because Chris Traeger is my most hated TV character of all time, and is pretty widely loathed amongst fans.

[–]kevtice15 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Parks and Rec is probably one of the funniest shows on TV right now, you just have to make sure you start watching it from the beginning so you can get a feel for the charaters' personalities. (Also, it really hits its stride in season 2 [season 1 was about 6 episodes])
