TV Renewal Roundup: ‘The Office,’ ‘Nikita,’ And ‘Whitney’ Are Spared, ‘The Ringer,’ ‘Awake,’ And More Get Axed

The Office Season 8 Episode 14 Special Project – TV Review TV Renewal Roundup: The Office, Nikita, And Whitney Are Spared, The Ringer, Awake, And More Get Axed

Well, it’s that time of year again, when TV networks decide which TV programs are profitable enough to save, and which are unsuccessful enough to deserve a summary execution.  Up for the chopping block this year were such shows of wildly varying quality like The Office, Nikita, Parks and Recreation,  Whitney, Community,  Awake, and many, many more.  What’s surprising, however, is how many flailing shows actually made it, and how many decent shows have been effectively cancelled.

Parks And Recreation: Season 4 Episode 22: Win Lose Or Draw – TV Review

Parks And Recreation Season 4 Episode 22 Win Lose Or Draw – TV Review Parks And Recreation: Season 4 Episode 22: Win Lose Or Draw – TV Review

A ratings darling it’s not, but Parks and Recreation is undoubtedly one of the best comedies on TV. That NBC hasn’t yet announced a season five is ridiculous. With “Win, Lose, or Draw” the show wraps up a genuinely awesome season 4 with the election results for city council. The finale doesn’t disappoint – with a conclusion that works nicely considering this could (gasp!) be the last episode ever. Should Parks and Recreation not get picked-up , there should be an immediate Senate committee investigation.

Parks And Recreation Season 4 Episode 21 Bus Tour – TV Review Parks And Recreation: Season 4 Episode 21: Bus Tour – TV Review

Parks and Recreation loads up the second to last episode of season four with more comedy awesomeness. Going into the final day of persuading Pawnee voters, Leslie Knope’s campaign is running like a well-oiled machine… until. That’s right, something crazy happens, and it includes another guest appearance from Paul Rudd. What’s not crazy is how consistently terrific the show has been all season.

Parks And Recreation Season 4 Episode 20 The Debate – TV Review Parks And Recreation: Season 4 Episode 20: The Debate  – TV Review

With Amy Poehler handling the writing and directing (and acting!) chores this week, she crafts a sensational episode of Parks and Recreation, where her Leslie Knope finally gets into the debate ring with Bobby Newport. And that means the welcome return of Paul Rudd. The show is running full steam ahead as it prepares for the finale of season four, which has been excellent throughout.

Parks And Recreation Season 4 Episode 19 Live Ammo – TV Review Parks And Recreation: Season 4 Episode 19: Live Ammo  – TV Review

Thank God! Parks and Recreation is back after a five-week hiatus. Bradley Whitford even drops by as a guest star. The fate of the Parks Department drives the episode, along with two, equally engaging story lines in “Live Ammo”. The election is only a few weeks away, and this funny episode serves as a nice return for fans to get up-to-speed on what’s happening in Pawnee as we get set for the show’s big finish to season 4.

The last “Parks and Recreation” episode until April 19th is solid comedy, highlighted by a terrific script from cast member Nick Offerman. The show heads to the NBC bench with a funny guest appearance by Sean Hayes, who encounters a rather tipsy Leslie Knope. It’s getting redundant to call it another excellent episode of comedy, but that’s how it is! See ya in a few weeks, ‘Parks & Rec’.

Louis C.K. makes his return to “Parks and Recreation” as Leslie’s ex in a funny episode that focuses on relationships and music. I wouldn’t slot “Dave Returns” into the top five of the season, but still we are treated to a show that is currently in the middle of a ridiculously awesome streak of producing great comedy.

Love is the drug as “Parks and Recreation” takes on Valentines Day, a perfect backdrop to deliver plenty of laughs to go along with all the romance. “Operation Ann” provides a nice break from the Leslie Knope campaign trail, yet another fine TV demonstration of great writing and superb work from the cast. No signs of weakness this week as the show’s stellar run this season continues.

Following last week’s first-class episode, the hits just keep on coming for “Parks and Recreation“, delivering yet another solid half-hour of comedy with “Bowling for Votes.” There might have been a moment early on when it seemed as if the show would take a step back after last week’s big success, but things revved up quickly, providing one laugh after another.
