I can’t stop thinking of reasons why Parks and Rec is like THE unproblematic fave like?

• themes of feminism throughout
  
• it has a more diverse cast than other sitcoms that take place in NEW YORK CITY like it takes place in Indiana and there’s so many poc I love it
  
• the humor is witty and clever without having to resort to gross sex humor and misogyny?
• the characters are so interesting and multi-faceted and well developed
• the characters all GROW as people (like I think especially about Tom who I thought was so annoying in S1 but by S7 you just LOVE him because he grew up so much and like?? this is a comedy show with awesome character development?)
• and important lady friendships! m/f relationships that aren’t romantic but are very important! and sweet romantic relationships!
• lil sebastian
• TREAT YO SELF
• after watching this show I just thought like, how did I ever even stand to watch How I Met Your Mother?
