Oh, how I love Parks and Rec! How I got into the show: My first episode was "Media Tour" and I just happened to watch it after The Office. That weekend I went back and watched all of Season 3 and then Season 2 and then 1. It was totally backwards...but that was one of my favorite weekends ever! I never watch much tv, but Parks and Recreation sucked me in immediately. :) How/when I found this community: I had a Livejournal from my Prison Break fandom days, so I knew there had to be a Leslie and Ben community. :) Favorite character(s): Leslie Knope Favorite episode(s): (This is not easy!) Umm...The Bubble, Win Draw or Lose, Harvest Festival. Favorite Leslie/Ben moment: (OMG...I thought that last question was hard!!) Ever time Ben looks at Leslie my heart flutters. Also their kisses are perfect. Favorite non-Leslie/Ben ship: The office
( ... )
I really liked it! The end of Pandemonium was heartbreaking, of course. I kind of saw it coming, but it didn't make it any better! I am really looking forward to the last book. There are so many good YA series going on right now.

Oh, how I love Parks and Rec! How I got into the show: I got tired of people yelling at me to watch it. Many close friends had told me I would love it, but I felt like I already watched enough TV and didn’t need another show. Around January I finally gave in. My friends were right. How/when I found this community: When I really fell in love with the show, I started googling the hell out of it. Favourite character(s): Leslie. Because she’s so earnest, and she tries so hard to do things the right way, and I just want her to win at everything. Also, I don’t know if it’s the character or Chris Pratt’s acting, but Andy usually makes me laugh harder than anyone else. When he asks where the presidents’ faces are at the Grand Canyon, I die every time. Favourite episode(s): Jerry’s Painting - I could watch Ben pretend not to look

Oh, how I love Parks and Rec! How I got into the show: I remember seeing lots and lots of posts all over Tumblr, but I didn't watch the show until I saw stuff for Harvest Festival. It was March or April 2011. Then over one weekend I watched the entire show and caught up. How/when I found this community: After 'Soulmates', I was in need of fiction for all my Ben&Leslie feelings, I searched and this wonderful place showed up! Favourite character(s): Leslie, Ben, Ron, April, Andy, Champion, Donna.... basically everyone except Tom (he annoys me), Chris (he LITERALLY annoys me). And Jerry (because who likes Jerry?) Favourite episode(s): Rock Show, Sister City, Camel, Hunting Trip, Telethon, Flu Season, Media Blitz, Harvest Festival, Soulmates, Jerry's Painting, Road Trip, I'm Leslie Knope, Pawnee Rangers, The Trial of

Oh, how I love Parks and Rec! How I got into the show:friend and I watched The Office and 30 Rock on Thursdays, Parks was on in between for its first season--we didn't like it that much. First episode I saw the second time around was Camping and then I watched every episode in a week. How/when I found this community: Right after that. My first google search after I watch a show is "Person A/Person B livejournal" followed by "Person A/Person B fanfic." Favourite character(s):Leslie! I think. But also Ben and Ann and Donna and April and Andy. And Sun Tea lady. Favourite episode(s):This is really REALLY hard for me. saucydiva and I agreed that we can call the entire back half of Season 3 one thing, like the Abbey Road Medley. So I pick that. Favourite Leslie/Ben moment:End of Smallest Park, I think. Favourite non-Leslie/Ben ship: YOU CAN'T MAKE ME CHOOSE. (See below).

Oh, how I love Parks and Rec! How I got into the show:I started watching from the beginning because of "The Office" pedigree and Amy Poehler. Stuck it out through the bad first episodes, saw "Rock Show" and thought "wow, this show is finally getting good." And then it stayed good and gradually got awesome. How/when I found this community: Late Season 3, when I wanted to talk about Leslie and Ben, Googled them, and found this place. We're talking really late season--the first post I read was the "Road Trip" episode discussion thread. Then I went backwards from there. Favourite character(s):Leslie, Ben, Andy, Jean-Ralphio. I mean really, all of them, at times some more than others. Favourite episode(s):In roughly chronological order: "Rock Show," "The Stakeout," "Hunting Trip," "Master Plan," "Flu Season," "Harvest Festival," "The Fight," "Road Trip," "Pawnee Rangers," "The

Oh gosh, I've never thought of that. But I do have personal trivia, if that counts. The house my dad lived in till he was 6 was sold by his parents to Kevin Bacon's parents, and Kevin Bacon grew up there as well. So that's like 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon, right?
