back together again

The cast reunites as their characters in a half-hour special for FeedingAmerica charity. It's great to see the cast 'together' and it's even better that they are playing their characters. The look is more like a slick Zoom session. There is surprisingly good back and forth despite most of them being by themselves. It's a fun reunion.

So creative and hilarious

Immediately had the parks and rec vibe. I was cracking up throughout. And I have to give them major props for getting creative to put this together. Well done by the entire cast. (2 viewings, 5/13/2020, 1/3/2023)

They didn't have a lot to work with...

...but they definitely made me feel like I'd been reunited with a lost family member.

It's like they knew we needed them

It was so good to see the Parks gang again, my wife and I are such huge fans of this show. These especially stressful times we are all experiencing made this so needed and satisfying. Thanks guys for bringing the warmth.

Wonderful!

I was really worried this would be lame but it was one of the best of the series!!! We had just finished re-watching the whole series and saved this for last. The impact was incredible. Kudos to the entire cast. We just loved this and felt the love in return. Thank you for one of the greatest shows ever!

Trivia
None of the actors actually interacted with each other. They were actually reacting to the writers and director reading the other characters' lines. With the exception of Ron and Tammy 2, since Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally were married in real life and living with each other.

Quotes
Leslie Knope: I miss you very much. And I love you. Now go take Tammy to the fire station.
Ron Swanson: We actually just covered her in deer fat and left her out for the wolves.
Leslie Knope: Ron!
Ron Swanson: Don't worry; she's fine. She chewed through her ropes and went running off into the night. I'm actually a little worried for the wolves.
