PARKS AND REC CHARACTERS BOB SERIES
The pit was first established in the premiere episode and had been a focal point of the series since the show began.Īmy Poehler became pregnant during the latter half of the season, with her baby due in the summer or early fall of 2010. Schur said, "In the end, we just felt that Amy is an enormously likable presence on screen, so as the season went on we just tried to create situations where that would shine through." During the episode "Kaboom", a major subplot was resolved when the large construction pit that Leslie had long sought to turn into a park was filled with dirt and turned into a lot. They also tried to make Leslie appear more intelligent in the second season after receiving audience feedback that she appeared "ditzy", which Michael Schur said was never their intention. The writers made several other changes going from season one to season two, including making the scripts more focused around the entire cast rather than just Leslie. Likewise, "The Stakeout" included a parody of the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, a black Harvard University professor who was arrested after police mistakenly thought he was breaking into his own home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a sex scandal involving a Pawnee councilman in "Practice Date" mirrored the real-life 2009 scandal of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, who publicly admitted to a long-term extramarital affair with an Argentinian woman. Likewise, the episode "Pawnee Zoo" included social commentary about same-sex marriage. The writing staff also made an effort to be more topical with the second season episodes. Daniels said he believed this allowed the characters to become more balanced, rather than simply an accumulation of flaws, as they sometimes appeared in the first season. Greg Daniels said since the Parks and Recreation characters had now been established in the second season, the writers were able to write more specifically for the actors.
