Parks & Recreation: Season 4, Episode 16 “Sweet Sixteen” (B+)
A leap day episode is quite welcome, and of course it would be Jerry who was born on February 29th. Leslie has stretched herself too thin in the past, and she’s always hilarious when she’s incredibly tired, be it when she’s in the middle of an all-night telethon or trying to come up with her next great idea during a camping trip. She’s just the type of person that would be obsessed with the rules, dealing with campaign business only just outside the physical government building. As is often the case, Ron has to be the one to talk some sense into her, and he has his work cut out for him in trying to convince her to take a sabbatical or reduce the amount of time she was committing to the Parks department. Forgetting to invite Jerry to his own party was the icing on the cake, and what a miserable surprise it turned out to be. It’s still peculiar that Ann and Tom are dating, but it’s definitely entertaining, mainly because of the preposterous objections about Ann that Tom verbalizes. April’s accidental infusion into their relationship is thoroughly amusing too, and I love it when mean people can’t stand the fact that they’re perceived as being nice. Andy was busy realizing that Chris is truly lonely, and a dog is a perfect companion for him. Donna hosting the surprise party at her secret family house added a considerable amount of awesome one-liners for the show’s most under-featured character.
