![]() ![]() The most important part of Donna’s character, however, is her incessant strength and confidence that she carries with her throughout the show. From her social media obsession and her Treat Yo’self outings with Tom to her single-life antics and her undying love for her Mercedes, Donna never fails to bring laughs to Parks and Rec’s devoted viewership. One of the most intriguing things about Donna Meagle is the fact that, like her husband Joe says in the episode “Donna and Joe,” you learn new things about her every day, or in our case, episode. Whether it’s her quick, witty quips, her insight into her very active dating life, her “tech-savvy” nature, or her sassy attitude, Donna’s character never disappoints. Office manager turned realtor, Donna Meagle, is truly a diamond in the rough. Ann Perkins may not have always been the most confident of the bunch, but she was still very clear about what she wanted, and when, and usually not afraid to stand up to anyone about that, even Leslie.ĭonna Meagle Donna on the final Treat Yo Self Day ( Source) That decision ultimately led her to her very happy relationship with Chris Traeger, but when she first made the decision, everyone (including Leslie) thought she was making a terrible mistake. In season five she decided she was ready to have a baby, regardless of the fact that she was single, just because she’d decided she was ready. My assumption wasn’t completely false, though, because in comparison to a lot of the other characters on Parks and Rec, her humor and quirkiness can be a lot subtler. Ann made a lot of strange, seemingly spontaneous decisions, but (most of the time) they seemed to work out well for her. Ann is very quirky, and over the course of the show and her friendship with Leslie, she not only accepted that quirkiness, but embraced it. I guess we’ll all just have to eat waffles on our own now.Īnn Perkins was probably the character I identified with most from the start, because I mistakenly assumed she was the more “normal” person on the show (let’s not even get into why I was craving a “normal” character to identify with). Leslie Knope, you are awesome, and you will be missed. And now that I’ve watched her grow for seven seasons and am no longer so scared of her, I would probably want to be her friend too. She is motivated and truly cares about her work. To me, Leslie is exactly the kind of person I would want working for the government, be it in elected positions, or as a civil servant. She is ambitious, a little bit awkward (most obvious when she’s meeting personal heroes like Joe Biden or Madeleine Albright), and if I met her in real life, I would probably be a little bit scared. Leslie is like the Energizer Bunny of city government: earnest, energetic, and determined to help people, as much as she can. Leslie is the protagonist of Parks and Rec, and if I’m being honest, it took me a little while to warm up to her.

I’m not someone who has followed this show for years, but I’ve really enjoyed watching it and getting to know these characters, and I’m sad to see them go, especially the strong female characters. I finished season six last week, and quickly marathoned through the final season. ![]() All through college, I had numerous friends telling me I should be watching this show, but it wasn’t until this fall when I found myself living in a house where I was the only person who hadn’t seen at least the first couple of seasons that I really started to watch it. ![]() Last Tuesday, the final episode of Parks and Recreation aired. ![]()
