Good morning Parks & Rec fans!
Thanks, Norman! http://normandapito.com/
So, what do we do next? We’ve grown to (as of the time I’m writing this) 1,717 members on our Facebook group, we’ve gathered 779 signatures for our online petition, and we’ve had our goings-on retweeted by the show’s co-creator, actors, writers, and fans on Twitter.
Well, we here at Save Parks & Recreation have a lot of ideas about what to do next, ones we’d like to roll out throughout the summer. But first things first: Ratings. Parks and Recreation, for some reason I just cannot wrap my mind around, is last in the ratings for NBC’s Thursday-night comedy lineup. It’s a hard fact to face, but it’s true (save for last week’s finales when it came in third, narrowly beating Community). If we want our favorite show not just to come back for a full season, but to come back for several more, we’ve got to pump up these ratings.
Here’s what we do, Pawneeans: Get five friends this summer to watch Parks & Rec reruns. Get them hooked on NutriYum Bars the hilarious antics of Leslie Knope & Co. Not only will this give Parks a summer ratings boost, but it will ensure the show has a larger, stronger following when it gets back on the air.
Come on, guys — you know you can do this.
