  - the last season of P/R was awful, I never even finished it
  - its secondary characters weren't better than the Office ones.

Some other thoughts on P/R:
  - Amy Poehler isn't even funny, probably as bad as Rob Schneider
  - Nick Offerman's character was interesting but ultimately irritating
  - I could watch Rashida Jones in anything. I never knew she was Peggy Lipton's (Mod Squad) daughter
  - Chris Pratt carried that show, He was excellent.
  - Aubrey Plaza's character (April) was borderline pathetic
  - Tom was good (real name Anizzi Asarni or something)
  - Adam Scott is smarmy. The whole marriage thing to Amy Poehler was ugh
  - Rob Lowe was good, Rob Lowe is always good

Office thoughts:
  - The Robert California  (James Spader) year (2 years?) was terrible
  - agree...it did lose a lot when Steve Carell left
  - Loved Dwight and Mose and the whole beet farm thing
  - I think I liked every character except...hmmm, I think I liked every character

There were more memorable scenes from Office than from P/R. I can rattle off several Office ones but virtually none from P/R.

These were some of the thoughts I was making as well. However, I love Ron Swanson, Jon Ralphio and Tom. I think the secondary characters on The Office trump just every single show. Creed, Kevin, Andy (in the early years), Oscar and Toby are so hilarious and their one liners are quoted so often. 

I do find Parks and Rec funny but I don't think it's on the same level as the office.
