Somewhat recently, IFC started airing reruns of Parks and Recreation. Like, all the time. The show them in big blocks. I have definitely been watching some of it here and there. It got me thinking about something. Namely, my own personal rankings of the characters of Parks and Recreation. Now, there are many primary and second characters. Pawnee, like Springfield, is a pretty sizable and eclectic town. It could be a list of like 50 characters. Ah, but it isn’t. I figured I’d cap it at 20 characters. You can respond with your own personal lists, or your opinions on my list. Parks and Recreation is one of the best sitcoms of the last 20 years, and of all-time. So let’s get to it! Cue that catchy theme song! It’s time to get to some Parks and Rankreation!

There you have it. It was probably obvious what my top-two characters would be. I feel like they are most people’s top two. Oh, and the real thing that got me thinking about all this? I realized I wasn’t a huge fan of Tom as a character and I wanted to figure out where he fit into my rankings. Now I know. Hooray for me!
