The Office of Parks & Recreation

The Lettuce Podcast is all about mockumentaries on this week's new episode. Charlotte & Laura discuss the first seasons of two of the most popular sitcoms of the 2000s: The Office & Parks and Recreation. They chat about comedy, laying the groundwork for each series, the successes and missteps, and more. Charlotte shares which beloved Parks & Rec character she can't stand, and why she loves the Jim/Pam relationship. Laura discusses why the viewer has to work to like Michael Scott, and why Ann is the perfect compliment to Leslie. Together the girls chat about whether the short first seasons of these two shows lay proper groundwork, which non-major characters are their favorites (and unfavorites), and how the comedy measures up. Which boss is more relatable: Michael Scott or Leslie Knope? Does Mark Brandanawicz have the most significant character development in Parks and Rec S1? And is Jim Halpert a secret bully? All these topics and more are discussed on this week's episode!

For the Fun & Games segment, Charlotte and Laura had no choice but to inaugurate these new topics with the original TLP game: Kill, Marry, Pity Date. Play along and share your picks in the comments!

For this episode's podtail, Laura suggests you channel your inner Ron Swanson and pour yourself a finger of Lagavulin. Enjoy neat or with a cube of ice. Not for the faint of heart!
