Season 3

TV Show · Comedy

A girl’s gotta dream. Especially Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). Leslie just wants one thing in life…to beautify her small town. Too bad she works in local politics, where everyone says no to everything, and that’s not about to change anytime soon. This season, the government is back up and running and the State Department auditing team (starring Rob Lowe and Adam Scott) permanently join the Parks and Recreation staff in order to ensure everyone is playing by the book. Will the new guys in town put the kibosh on Leslie’s plans for ka-ching? Not if she can help it. As usual, her priorities are in order and she’s out to prove what she does is really, really, really important. So much so, that Leslie begins planning her next big event. Will it be a success? Leslie sure thinks so.
