Critics' reviews

"While I laughed out loud only a few times during 'Parks' pilot, I dug the performances, the attitude, and the atmosphere that's being created"

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"The supporting cast members have quirks, but they need stronger writing and reinforcements"

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
"It has a kind of sunny charm, (...), and is built upon a pair of strong female leads, a rare enough thing in sitcoms. Poehler and Jones have a nice, contrapuntal rhythm. I stamp this show: approved"

Robert Lloyd: Los Angeles Times
"The 'Parks and Recreation' pilot is funny, with mounds of potential. Its problem is that it seems to be actively downplaying its distinctiveness by emphasizing the surface resemblance to 'The Office'"

James Poniewozik: Time
"All in all, it might be worth sticking with 'Parks and Recreation', because there are lots of funny little moments that could add up to a great series"

Paige Wiser: Chicago Sun-Times
"In its favor, 'Parks' doesn't have a laugh track. On the minus side, it doesn't get many laughs. Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Linda Stasi: New York Post
"'Parks' never expends enough energy to even approach funny, but even if it were more amusing, that sour whiff of gratuitous cruelty would still linger. Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"Poehler's show unfortunately isn't worthy of her. It's dry and hesitant when one longs for it to be raucous and madcap"

Tom Shales: The Washington Post
