Entertainment Weeklyken Tucker
Poehler and the writers have finetuned Leslie's character to be more sharp-tongued, less clueless, and more fearless.

I will say that the show really has a handle now on Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), who comes across as an overzealous but sympathetic bureaucrat, not a ninny. That it is doing an excellent job of finding things for its supporting characters to do, suggesting it may someday have the bench strength of a show like "The Office. "

Overall, Parks appears to be headed in the right direction.
Read Full Review >San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman
NBC did renew Parks and Recreation and, like a small miracle of second-act redemption, it comes back on Thursday as a fully realized and very funny sitcom.
Read Full Review >Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Parks was disappointing in its first year but tonight's episode and one airing next week--with a storyline inspired by the Henry Louis Gates-cop kerfluffle--show that the program is making steady, funny progress.

There's so much to like here. Now, all P&R has to do is become consistently likable.
Read Full Review >TV GuideMatt Roush
While there is much talent associated with this show, Parks still feels pretty much like the pits, an uneasy and uneven clone that has yet to achieve a comedic purpose of its own.
