Parks and Rec 4x04

That was the most perfect half hour of television I've ever seen, I think. I cried with laughter, then I got choked up with genuine affection for these people.

On a traditional sitcom Leslie's "Pawnee Goddesses" would have been competing with the boys group, and it would have been an escalating prank war. Instead, she's awesome and competent, and her little girls are awesome and amazing. They are awesome little people with opinions and ideas and they insist that Leslie be as great as she ought to be. Plus, Aziz Ansari's face is great, and I want to marry Ben Wyatt. His plotline left me hyperventilating and laughing so hard I cried.

I want a Gertrude Stein. And I want to live in this episode.
