![]() I did not tune into Parks and Rec’s special excited to see my favorite characters again. (I have somewhat high hopes for the upcoming One Day at a Time animated special, but it’s not like that’s a pivot the show can make on an ongoing basis.) The special was a fun experiment that showed the absolute limitations of such an experiment. It was also pretty significant proof that American scripted television production can’t be consistently and dynamically made during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Parks and Recreation reunion special - in which the entirety of the show’s regular cast (sans poor Mark Brendanawicz) and a healthy portion of its recurring guest stars collaborated to film a new episode of the show while in quarantine - was so, so, so much better than I ever could have expected it to be.
