I agree. The first season of The Office is the absolute worst.

Ben is one of the top characters in the show.
The "treat yo self" episode is a personal favorite.

One thing I never understood is that, while characters on The Office are being filmed by a documentary crew, are aware of this, talk directly to the camera during their solo interviews, and the crew itself eventually factors into the story even more in the final seasons, characters on Parks & Recreations also talk directly to the camera, but no crew is ever mentioned or seen, and there's no mention of a documentary at any point.

I never got that.

Parks and Rec feels like a female-written version of The Office. Idk if that's actually the case but its humor leads me to believe it

Parks and Rec at one point became a little too feel good-y for my tastes towards the end, but it was overall good. I think the strongest Office episodes are better than the strongest Parks and Rec episodes though.

I never watched that show, but I agree that it's weird. I probably won't ever watch it now, because I was barely able to make it through P&R because of the dissonance the interviews created in my mind.

Mostly, I stayed and finished the show because of Ron Swanson.

I like them both for different reasons. I guess the stakes feel higher in p and r even if it's just about a little town. The stakes in the office mostly revolve around relationships.

I probably prefer the office for rewarch but I enjoyed p and r more for a first watch.

Ben and Leslie are iconic, and actually have a healthy relationship.
April and Andy are another perfect couple.

Tammy and Jean Ralphio are amazing. Jean Ralphio's sister is a garbage person.

They're likable but not really entertaining outside of a few.

Whole bunch of nothingburger characters really.

How is that different from the majority of the office characters who are either empty concepts of characters, of one note wonders.

This. Office went down in quality after the wedding and then again after the departure. Parks took forever to get going but once it did it was just great until the end.

P&R actually makes more sense if you consider it as them putting on a Public Access show.
Those shows are usually filmed by the people involved, so no separate crew.

P&R S1 wasn't great, but it was still better than the Office S1, which was just a copy and paste of the better UK version.
