I recently got through a marathon of Parks and Recreation.

Season 1: Now I remember why I never got into this show when it first came out. Just a bad The Office rip off. Skip.
Season 2: That's a little better. Still some awkward writing but overall I'm interested.
Seasons 3-5: Some of the best television comedy ever created. Brilliant writing, brilliant cast, overall just brilliant.
Seasons 6-7: Still hilarious but starting to drag with some repetitive storylines and an overreliance on self referential humour. Also not helped by cast members leaving. I would have been happy with the S6 ending but the extra season did have some great moments and provided a satisfying conclusion.
