"Parks and Recreation" Now A Veteran In Faultering NBC Lineup

         I don't know about you, but I've already started cooking up a hearty supply of meat products a la Ron Swanson to celebrate the resigning of  "Parks and Recreation", which has been picked up for a sixth season. The small-town show with small-time ratings has been lost in the shuffle of the ever-changing NBC comedy lineup. With the departure of veterans "30 Rock" and "The Office," NBC looks to "Parks and Rec" to headline their comedy block this fall. This opportunity finally gives "Parks" the chance to prove it's place as one of the best comedy's currently on television. Although the show has only been able to draw in small numbers, averaging between 4 to 5 million viewers weekly, it remains an underrated, cult favorite. The past two seasons have been the strongest with the addition of new cast members and more intelligent writing. Hopefully, this new role for "Parks" will lead viewers towards the new comedies that NBC will be debuting this fall, since it was announced yesterday that the network cancelled four comedies.

        "Up All Night", plagued with creative changes in the second season and the resignation of Christina Applegate was among the cancelled batch. Rumor was that this upcoming season was to be filmed in front of a studio audience, similar to the struggling "Whitney" (also cancelled); however, it's doubtful this would have been able to breathe life into the slumping comedy. Two freshman comedies, "Guys with Kids" and "1600 Penn" were also given the axe by the peacock network.

        More information regarding newly signed shows for networks will be available once the fall begins to draw closer. In the meantime, there's plenty of time for us to enjoy summer specials and catch up on regular season series.
