Summary

No show has been recommended with the caveat "but you should skip the first two seasons" more than Parks and Recreation. While we may remember it now as one of the most beloved and enduring sitcoms of the 2010s—with one of the most impressive ensemble casts ever assembled—it certainly didn't start out that way. Special guests Ally Cabrera-Aragon and Mark Foster join us as we take a sobering look at the NBC classic's awkward start.

    Bad Pilots presents: Duet

    Release Date: 03/26/2021

    Description: In a very special season one finale of Bad Pilots, Dan and Aidan each talk about three shows that mean something special to them. As usual, the conversation goes completely off the rails. Tangents include: Aidan's childhood without wifi, how getting rejected from improv troupes can change your life, the greatest TV theme song of all time, and the time Dan and Aidan watched the season two premiere of True Detective while popping champagne and chilling in an infinity pool at a mansion in Yorkville. Lastly, we just want to thank everyone who's been listening these past few months—we love you very much, you make our day.
