We've already had a poll about this series. Is there enough interest for its own proper discussion thread?

Parks and Recreation Exclusive: Sam Elliott Cast as Ron Swanson's Eagleton Doppelganger

Parks and Recreation‘s sixth season is shaping up to be seriously bizarro.

Acting vet Sam Elliott has signed on to guest star in an episode of the NBC comedy as Ron Swanson’s aggressively mustached counterpart/doppelganger in neighboring Eagleton, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Elliott will appear in the same episode that features Kristen Bell as Leslie’s “richer and better dressed” Eagleton equivalent.

Parks kicks off its sixth season on Sept. 26.

I shall power this thread with just my own enthusiasm.

I thought the show was cancelled and was surprised when I heard it was coming back. I've always enjoyed it though.

'Parks And Recreation' to lose two major cast members during new season

A pair of Parks And Recreation regulars are to exit midway through the next season, The Hollywood Reporter confirms.

Original cast member Rashida Jones, who plays Ann Perkins, and Rob Lowe, who joined in season two as Chris Traeger, are expected to depart after the 13th episode of season six, which should air in the US next February (2014).

On-screen, Jones and Lowe are an on-off couple and at the end of the last season their characters were exploring the possibility of starting a family together, which could provide a plotline for their departure.

Parks And Recreation is due to return for its sixth season on US network NBC on September 26. The season premiere will be an hour-long special set in London featuring guest appearances from Heidi Klum and Happy Days legend Henry Winkler.

The following month, Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell will guest star as a "richer and better dressed" version of Amy Poehler's Pawnee city councilwoman Leslie Knope hailing from the rival town of Eagleton. In the same episode, Nick Offerman's Ron Swanson will face his Eagleton doppelganger.

Meh. While Chris Traeger still has some character left in him, they've NEVER known what to do with Ann. If they lost Amy Poehler or *gulp* Nick Offerman, it would end the show.

And, of course, if Chris and Ann leave, they better not be taking the best nonhuman character on the show with them....Champion the three legged dog.

Ron Swanson is coming to Philly.

Bobson Dugnutt · 31 Jan 2005

I swear to God, I had this exact same conversation this weekend. I even had the Scotch, but I was a bit further along than Ron is.

And I've GOT to start grilling bacon.

Bummed about the departures, but I can live with it. It's a shame though.

I wish my Dollar Store sold beef.

I just discovered this show on netflix and I love it.

I will miss the Rob Lowe character. He's amazing, especially his battle with depression in Season 4.

Rashida Jones is indeed adorable, but I certainly don't watch the show just for her.

I can't even grow a moustache. Probably never will be able to. Oh well. Such is life.

Marcus · 27 Nov 2004

I much appreciate Nick Offerman's moustache and series. Of course, I have a similar 'stache as Offerman.

I'd not looked at this thread before, and in fact hadn't watched this show beyond the pilot, in spite of Rashida Jones's amazingness.
