Its dramatic moments don't get too intense but instead, keep things moving so as to not lose the sense of humor. What's more, the level of optimism that the show oozes is undeniable. From Leslie to Jerry, everyone in the Pawnee Parks and Rec department is optimistic when things get hard. They make light of dark situations. No show or character is perfect but one fan suggests that The Office is perfectly "flawed," which is why it's beloved.
While the characters of Parks and Recreation seemingly all get along and find a way to support each other at the end of the day, The Office proves that that's not how real life works.
At Dunder Mifflin, there are disagreements and sometimes full-on brawls, but this only adds to the show's hilarity. Sometimes it's the more relatistic shows that are funnier because fans can connect.

Lynn Gibbs Articles Published Lynn is a nomad who travels the globe on the hunt for her next adventure with her husband. History teacher , but as I kept watching season after season, I fell in love. The humor, the uplifting spirit and the story drew me in and kept me entertained from beginning to end, but more than that, I felt connected to the characters, which is an important aspect of any great show.
A wider cast means a wider audience can relate. The main character, Leslie Knope, is passionate, driven, optimistic and hard working.
Her tendency to do wacky schemes to achieve her goals, something she has in common with Michael, is constantly relegated by her friends, most often Ann and Ben. Still, her character is quite inspiring, as Leslie repeatedly deals with some ungrateful people oh, citizens of Pawnee and awful situations, but she manages to find the best in things and is able to come out on the other end truthfully happy.
She is the heart of both the show and the city of Pawnee. Either way, the bumbling boss caricature makes him quite funny, but also leaves his character feeling rather shallow, whereas everything Leslie does comes from a place of sincerity, making her sweet personality much more likable.

There are many episodes where characters go to meetings in New York and other locations, but Scranton never really gets a chance to shine. The Office had a difficult job of trying to figure out how to keep the show going after Carell left. Michael Scott really is the heart and soul of that series.
Season 8 did a decent job, but Season 9 struggled. Also, Andy Bernard Ed Helms became extremely unlikable. He just straight up abandoned everyone and also treated Nellie Catherine Tate so horribly. The Office does end well with an excellent finale but Parks and Rec knew when it was time to pull the plug.
Parks and Rec did have to deal with cast members leaving. Parks and Rec does, admittedly, make an odd decision for its last season, taking place two years after the last season ended and giving Ron and Leslie a rivalry.
It just felt odd to see Leslie and Ron constantly bickering, but this is shortly resolved in four episodes. Afterward, the series ends well with an episode showing the future of each character, every character getting their own segment that shows where their lives end up going. Even some of the guest characters get closure to their stories.
The Office has a great finale but it struggled to get there in its final two seasons. There are a lot of episodes in those last two seasons and it seemed like the writers began running out of ideas, but still knew how they wanted to end it.
