Parks and Recreation

[Dead & Messed Up]

It's almost worth keeping her around just for Traeger's joyful finger-snappy "...Ann Perkins!" and all the creative ways Leslie compliments her. But yeah, she was a relic of the first season that didn't get put on a bus with the same speed as Brendanawicz.

[Melville]

I think she was one of the most likable characters, which was essential on a show that relied on the characters' charm. She was also a funnier straight man than Ben, and her friendship with Leslie was one of the most believable to me. But I'm probably alone in my overall view of the show: I thought its first season was straight-up hilarious and I liked it less as it became more warm-hearted.

I'm liking it less and less now. I think I was right to bail at the end of Season 4; Season 5 was a slog, and I can barely bring myself to care about Season 6. My main problem is the shitty storylines and one-note characters... I don't mind that they are all nice to each other, but everything is so contrived and Jean-Ralphio and Mona-Lisa are like the worst things ever.

EDIT: And Craig! Jesus Christ, what an awful character.
