Parks and Recreation 5/10 (spoilers)

[Deleted]

Ben totally made me cry when he said he never wrote Leslie's concession speech. Such a sweet moment.

Go Councilwoman Knope!

[lemondrop]

I seriously love this show so much!

Dammit, Jerry!

[jdbyogi]

Yay! I only caught the end of it, and I still got teary eyed. Yay for Councilwoman Knope!

[cjc2011]

Didn't watch it yet but assumed she would win. I also <3 this show!

[eclaires]

I admit I teared up when she found out she won. And usually Leslie annoys me. (I watch for Ron, Tom and April)

[hideme]

I'm hoping that Leslie doesn't become more annoying in her new role. But I'm glad that she won!

Next season is short (13 eps). I heard NBC is giving short seasons to its shows (Community, 30 Rock, Parks & Rec) before "sending them off." Ugh, I hope not. I think P&R is the best comedy on right now.

Well that sounds like the type of stupid things NBC would do with their shows. I really hate how they don't give good shows a chance and replace them with total shit.

For me, it's P&R or Modern Family for sure.

I loved this episode but I usually do. I also heard about the shortened season and potential ax. I hope it's not true but I don't doubt it either. P&R is my favorite NBC show. Nick Offerman (Ron) is coming to Chicago and I'm trying to convince DH to go (we already have tickets for John Oliver the night before).

I really love that she had her owl little speech at the end of Ben's.

P&R just posted on Facebook that they have been renewed for a FULL season, 22 eps. Woo!

[glow=purple,2,300]WAHOO!!!!!![/glow]

I am happy that she won, but I am not sure I am going to like it if she is not working in the PR department. I am curious to see how they will do that.

In this interview with one of the showrunners, he says that Leslie will still be working in P&R part-time. So don't fret!

[dukesilver]

I love this show so much and am so happy it has been renewed for a full season! It is a rare show that can crack me up and make me weepy every week.

[casarosada]

I'm glad this show is renewed! It is definitely one of my favourites!

I was afraid they were going to give them a 13 episode season like 30 Rock, so I'm thrilled they got a full order. And I'm hopeful that the fact that the show will be 10 episodes from syndication when they wrap up next season means we'll get at least 1/2 a season after the next.
I cried at least three times during this entire episode. I love these people *so much*.
