For years my husband has been telling me that I was missing out by not watching his favorite TV show, NBC’s Parks and Recreation. Over my extended holiday break, I decided to put the Netflix subscription to good use, and give it another shot.
During the debut season one, I tried to enjoy it, but it just didn’t grab me. This time around, it did. Amy Poehler, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Retta, and Jim O’Heir?? Wow me me wow wow.
Time for you to catch up before the show ends for good.
Parks and Recreation is only eight days away from returning to NBC for its seventh and final season, Jan. 13, 2015. This begins the march through the final 13 episodes. (125 shows total, and I’m only through episode 24 as of January 5th. Whew, got some mega watching to do!)
Fifty-percent of adults now identify as binge-viewers, meaning they’re watching multiple episodes of a TV show back-to-back, according to a new study of 1,000 adults with pay TV subscriptions released by accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Are you staying in on a Saturday night to “binge-watch” one of Netflix’s hundreds of television shows? Don’t be ashamed: The online streaming service has 37 million subscribers worldwide. We all aren’t paying 8 bucks a month for nothing!
Say what you want about the best binge watching is when you have a new season of Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, or the entire Friends series. I am now going to testify that life is really really good with multiple episodes of Parks and Rec each day. And I haven’t even gotten to the Rob Lowe episodes yet, but my husband says they are going to be incredible…
