Especially not Ben, who consistently comes up with theories of how Jerry ended up with Gayle in the first place.īesides the romantic relationships, the friendships are amazing. Which none of the other characters can wrap their heads around. Jerry Gergich has the most functional, normal family of all. The most awesome relationship, though, is also the funniest. Oh yeah, and his wife is played by Xena, because he’s awesome and needs an equally awesome wife. And again, the writers give us another strong relationship. He has two ex wives named Tammy (by the way, his mother’s name is Tammy…what’s your point?), but even he commits wholly once he meets the right person. Ron Swanson is actually one who goes through crazy, dysfunctional relationships. It works though, and ends up being an uncomplicated, modern relationship where they support and love each other without worrying about traditions or labeling what they are, beyond “family.” I love it. (Not to mention that April is my doppelganger and spirit animal.)Īnn and Chris have an interesting relationship, since they date, break up, become friends, decide to have children together, and then fall in love after Ann is pregnant. Instead, they showed an impulsive, fun couple as wholly together and supportive, constantly.
Andy and April marry after dating for about a month, and the writers could have easily broken them up again and again or just once or gotten them close to breaking up every season, but they never did. The writers could have taken this in an entirely different way, though. They start off rocky because Andy used to date Ann, but once they are together, they stay together and are a very strong model relationship. They are actually a model relationship.Īndy and April are a surprisingly functional relationship, even though they are sometimes immature and impulsive. But then they get together, stay together, and function incredibly well together. They break up for a time so that Leslie can run for office, but Ben is supportive the entire time and knows and loves that she needs to focus on her own career. Leslie and Ben are in an incredibly healthy, adult relationship.

One thing that constantly strikes me as amazing, and what stuck with me when I just watched the series through again, was how the romances are handled. It really is the ensemble cast that makes the show what it is. Honestly, if the show had just focused on her, I’m not sure how well it would have done. Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope is fantastic as a feminist, driven civil servant who cares maybe a bit too much about everything. One of his best contributions? The Swanson Pyramid of Greatness:īut really, the show isn’t carried by just one or two characters, and that’s what makes it amazing. Interestingly enough, though he became one of the most popular characters from the show, he was only meant to be in the first season.
Mostly what came up was the awesomeness that is Ron Swanson. I had just started watching it recently, and had actually watched some with the friend who introduced us, so it came up. For anyone who knows me, the first conversation I had with my husband when we met was about Parks and Rec.
