The main characters in the best TV shows of the decade, and to get to that, it went through a lot of changes, always for the benefit of the characters, their stories, and the show in general.
Parks & Recreation took the audience to the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana, to meet the crew of the Parks Department, led by eternal optimist Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). Through her, viewers got to know her closest friends and coworkers quite well, sharing the spotlight with them and becoming some of the audience’s favorite characters, such as Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman), April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza), and Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari). However, one of the characters that stole the show in Parks & Rec was Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt), who started as a guest character and quickly became a main one thanks to how well he was received by the audience.
Andy Dwyer was Ann Perkins’ (Rashida Jones) unemployed, slacker boyfriend who broke both legs when he fell into the pit next to Ann’s house, which was the incident that kicked off the events of Parks & Recreation. Andy then became City Hall’s shoe-shiner while he continued playing with his band, Mouse Rat, and became romantically involved with April. The Andy Dwyer seen in the final seasons of Parks & Recreation was far from the lazy one seen in the first two seasons, and this much-needed character development might have been thanks to the rest of the male characters in the series, who had a positive influence on different aspects in Andy’s life.
Andy Dwyer Changed A Lot In Parks & Recreation
Andy Dwyer’s charm comes from being one of the characters in Parks & Recreation with the biggest hearts but also from not being one of the brightest ones, and even though Andy changed a lot in seven seasons, he never stopped deeply caring about his loved ones and doing the dumbest yet funniest things anywhere, anytime. As mentioned above, Andy went from a lazy, unemployed musician who only wanted his girlfriend to look after him and work for both of them, to a caring and responsible family man who hosted one of the most successful TV shows, The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show. Although Andy clearly matured as the years went by and his relationship with April was a good influence (as she also matured a lot throughout the show), the male presence around him might have also played a key role in his positive changes.
Parks & Recreation Theory Reveals Other Male Characters Helped Andy Change
A Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe) was “the friendly boss” who taught Andy how to enjoy everything in life (after all, Chris is known for always being cheerful and seeing the good in everything and everyone); Ben (Adam Scott) was the father figure who gave Andy “tough love” in order to guide him towards the right path, though some s also see him as the “dorky” father; Jerry (Jim O’Heir) is the “embarrassing father” yet one with a heart of gold, and Tom would have been more of a “cool brother/uncle” figure rather than a father one.
Parks & Recreation Theory Makes The Show Even Better
When talking about the dynamics and relationships in Parks & Recreation, especially non-romantic ones, the one that always comes up is that of Leslie and Ann, and while they did have a beautiful friendship, it’s also important to represent healthy relationships between male characters. This theory about the other male characters helping Andy change (and in most cases, without even noticing it), gives some representation to friendships between men and how these can have a positive influence on those involved, and makes Parks & Recreation and the dynamics between its main characters even more heartwarming and special.
