We are reviewing all the cancelled shows and renewed shows of 2011. And now Parks and Recreation got renewed for a fourth season by NBC, putting the show closer and closer to the golden goal of 100 episodes and a syndicated future.
Season to date, “Parks and Recreation” (Thursdays, 9:30-10 p.m. ET) is delivering a 2.8/7 in 18-49 and 5.5 million viewers overall. With its move this season to Thursday’s 9:30 p.m. ET half-hour, “Parks and Recreation” is up versus last season by 17 percent in adult 18-49 rating (2.8 vs. 2.4) and up 9 percent in total viewers (5.5 million vs. 5.1 million). In the valuable adult 18-34 demographic, “Parks and Recreation” is NBC’s #2 scripted series and ranks in the top 20 overall with a 3.2 rating.
“Parks and Recreation” — from Emmy Award-winning executive producers Greg Daniels (NBC’s “The Office,” “King of the Hill”) and Michael Schur (NBC’s “The Office,” “Saturday Night Live”) — is a hilarious ensemble comedy that landed on dozens of critics’ “Top 10″ lists in 2010. It follows Leslie Knope (Emmy Nominee Amy Poehler, NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” “Baby Mama”) a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, and her tireless efforts to make her quintessentially American town just a little bit more fun.
Leslie’s office mate is Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari, “Human Giant,” “Scrubs”), a fashion-obsessed wannabe player while Leslie’s boss, Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman “Children’s Hospital”), hates the very government he works for. Rounding out the characters are Leslie’s best friend Ann (Rashida Jones, “I Love You, Man,” “The Office”), her ex-boyfriend Andy (Chris Pratt, “Everwood”), and Ron’s assistant April (Aubrey Plaza, “Funny People”). Also working in the parks department are Donna (Retta, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) and Jerry (Jim O’Heir, “Castle”). In addition, the show features state auditors Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott, “Party Down”) and Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe, “Brothers and Sisters,” “The West Wing”), who were introduced at the end of the second season.
“Parks and Recreation” is a production of Deedle-Dee Productions, Fremulon, 3 Arts Entertainment and Universal Media Studios. Along with Daniels and Schur, Howard Klein (“The Office”) and David Miner (“30 Rock”) also serve as executive producers for the series.
