    I think Parks and Recreation had the absolute most unrealistic time-scales. The things they could get done in an afternoon or evening was absurd.

      Also Pawnee is supposed to be a kinda folksy midwest town with like 30,000 population but the city hall is seemingly a modern $15mil building with floors and departments.

      The actual Parks and Rec “department” of a town like that would be one haggard “Selma from the Simpsons” type character chainsmoking and sitting at a folding card table in some shitty repurposed storefront in a building from the 1950s across the square from the old courthouse.

        We still laugh at the scale of their city council election. Our town is larger than Pawnee, and you’re lucky if the people running spend money to make lawn signs.

        Let alone run commercials and have a huge debate 😆
