+1 I definitely understand not being able to watch the other shows if you need likable characters, but I would think Parks would have at least one character the OP likes because the majority of them are written to be good people.

DA

I don't even watch the show so I can't offer an educated opinion, but is it possible that's why OP isn't gelling with them? In my experience with other shows, character deliberately written as "good" or "quirky" or "cute" can instead come off as "obnoxious" and "irritating as fuck". I find being told I need to like characters much harder to engage with than characters that are presented as neutral or flawed, and we're left to make up our own minds.

No idea if that's the case here, but possibly might be an issue for OP.

I have trouble seeing that as the case for all the Parks characters, while that could be an issue for some, they all have kind of unique personalities and while they are basically "good" they are not supposed to all be cute and quirky or perfect. The Parks characters can be very flawed, but I'd consider them good in comparison to the other shows listed.

I think people are reacting to this secret with "Why Parks and Rec?" because it is VERY different from the other shows OP has issues with. It's not the morally grey/dark show that the others are. Like even if OP were to list another comedy, if their problem is "unlikable characters" I would understand something like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia being listed more. Because even though I personally love that show, the characters are horrible human beings and you can only like them on a "liking a villain" kind of level. Parks is not like It's Always Sunny though, not in the slightest bit.
