In its annual list of the Best TV of 2009, Parks and Recreation and The office tied for #2!
From New York magazine:
The two mockumentaries are fascinating mirrors: One is about a bumptious male boss who dreams only of family, the other is about a bumptious female boss who aspires to be president. Both weave cringe comedy with humanistic sweetness, and while Parks and Recreation found its voice this season — especially in the case of Amy Poehler’s earnest clown — The Office also hit some brilliant notes, especially whenever it delved into the sick lunacy of the economic breakdown.
Here’s the complete list:
- Mad Men
- Parks and Recreation/The Office
- Breaking Bad
- Lost
- Dexter
- Modern Family/The Middle
- 30 Rock
- True Blood
- Big Love
- United States of Tara
