Mike Schur says that ParksAndRec was forged in the 2008 economic crisis, when it was clear 'that government was going to be playing a very active role in people’s lives… We’re now obviously in another one of those moments”
At the heart of the reunion’s reason for being is the eternal optimism of Amy Poehler’s Knope, her belief that the incremental moments of connection were “vital to the social fabric,” as Schur puts it, and her faith in the government to be a force for good.
Universal TV president Pearlena Igbokwe had first reached out to Schur about the idea of doing a special, which he suggested should be for charity. The cast enthusiastically replied to Schur’s email in less than an hour. When Schur took a walk with his wife, “Single Parents” co-creator J.J. Philbin, later that day, he realized that the show should be a scripted original, and not just a table read.
“It wouldn’t have been a ‘Parks and Rec’ special if there hadn’t been some of the super fun and enjoyable side characters and tertiary characters who used to pop up on the show being involved,” he said. “So you’ll get a decent number of them as the show goes along.”
