I could literally spend all day talking about how great Parks and Recreation is, but I don’t have time for that today. Why? Because it’s back! The first episode of Parks and Rec, season 5, will be airing approximately 37 minutes from the time I am writing this.

I plan to write a very lengthy post about why you should be watching the amazingness that is Parks and Recreation, but for now, to celebrate its return to our screens, hearts, and minds, here are three of my favourite moments from my favourite TV show ever.

Ben’s claymation

Leslie’s ice rink campaign stop

All the bacon and eggs

I think that last one was the moment when I went from being ridiculously in love with and obsessed with this show to seeing it as the closest thing I have to a religion.

Church is in session, 27 minutes from now… or a little later for those of us who aren’t lucky enough to live in North America. Sigh. I’ll be just sitting here, passing the time by reading my copy of Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America by Leslie Knope.
