Amy Poehler's sitcom gets a name

The new NBC sitcom originally planned as a spin-off of The Office and then simply became a spin-off by the creators of the American version of the show will now be known as...wait for it...Parks and Recreation. The series co-stars Rashida Jones and will premiere in March.While I have high hopes for any show that stars Amy Poehler, it is cutting it a little close to think of the name at this stage, since there is just over a month before the initial broadcast. Still, the name is better than the previously proposed one, Public Service.
Truthfully, the name is just a formality. If the show starts in March, then it will likely have a very shortened season to prove itself worthy of a second one. While Amy Poehler is an excellent comedic talent, one can only hope that the writers behind the show can use her abilities to the fullest.
