A note to Knope Knows readers

Friday, November 20th, 2009

As of midnight tonight, I’ll be on a red eye flight to an exotic locale. Costa Rica in fact. It’s how I’m spending my Thanksgiving.

Though where I’m staying will have Internet access, I don’t plan to log on for even a second. As such, you can expect a serious lack of updates to this blog starting now and extending through Saturday, November 28.

Graciously, my friend and web tech, Tony, has agreed to keep his ear to the ground for major Parks and Recreation stories that happen to break over the next week. So, if there are any updates to be had, they’ll be from him.

Thanks for your patience, and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Best,
Eric

P.S. — Bula-bula-bula!

New site feature: Character bios!

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

OK, here’s the situation…

Since the day Knope Knows launched in late March, I made a vow to be the net’s best resource for all things relating to NBC’s Parks and Recreation. The site, however, has up to now been missing one considerably valuable ingredient.

To combat this sad fact, I spent a good portion of the weekend working on Knope Knows’ most ambitious site feature to date: Character bios!

By rewatching every episode in the Parks and Recreation catalog — and copying down tedious notes that came to exceed 3,000 words — I have assembled what I believe to be the Internet’s most comprehensive biographies of the show’s lead characters: April Ludgate, Andy Dwyer, Ann Perkins, Leslie Knope, Mark Brendanawicz, Ron Swanson and Tom Haverford.

In addition, I have also made a list of every location visited or mentioned on the show, as well as every character addressed on screen or mentioned by another character.

(There’s also a few other goodies in Character bios that you’re free to go and discover yourself. Take a look!)

After new episodes air, I will go into each profile and update the information as I see fit. Of course, if you notice anything missing, please let me know.

For future reference, a link to the biographies has been added under the Present tab on the right sidebar. Enjoy the new feature!

I introduce to you Knope Knows’ newest page: Guest Stars!

When did Leslie threaten Janet Restrepo? When did we first encounter April’s “boyfriend”, Derek? Who is Joan Callamezzo? Now you can easily access the answers to these burning questions (and others like them!) using a handy Guest Stars table located on the right sidebar under the Etcetera: Show tab.

Hope you like it!

UPDATE: August 20: All clear!

Updates to the blog caused many of the site’s customized specifications to return to default. Knope Knows’ fancy header will hopefully be back soon!

New link posted!

Coming Monday: And Then There Was One

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Ready for your first Knope Knows challenge?

On Monday, June 22, a poll will go live on Knope Knows that asks you to vote for your least favorite Parks and Recreation episode. The episode with the most votes will be removed from the challenge, and a new poll will go live the following Monday.

And Then There Was None is scheduled to end Monday, July 27 — three days before NBC begins airing summer repeats of Parks and Recreation.

Happy voting!
