As I was watching the finale, I couldn't help but wonder if the man that notified them about the broken swing at the park was meant to represent NBC or an unnamed network executive.
Leslie: "Well, here's that swing -- good as new. Fixed for you by your local Parks & Rec department --"
Man: "Oh, okay." (Pauses) "Well, bye." (Walks away)
Leslie: "Yeah, that seems about right."
Allow me to blow your freakin' mind.
That man was the drunk person in the slide from the pilot episode of Parks and Rec.
That was just about a perfect finale, which is a VERY rare thing.
I'm assuming Leslie was the President. I really wish they had spelled that out.

(I'm also glad to see that Billy Eichner's making a good name for himself, too. He essentially brought his man on the street routine to the show, but now he's doing skits with Conan O'Brien and Michelle Obama.)

He was doing recorded pieces for Conan before he was on P&R. The guy is so much funnier that the shtick they gave him as Craig.
I liked the finale though I think the futures were just a little too perfect. It's like, they take a show that started out showing the work as thankless, inertial and frustrating, and Leslie as the only optimistic person in the entire government constantly running into realpolitik and red tape, then end it by giving every character their perfect dream future.
