Parks & Recreation will be back for a 7th season


Good news for our friends in Pawnee: NBC has announced that Parks & Recreation will return for a seventh season.
The news isn't exactly a shock — NBC entertainment president Bob Greenblatt had all but confirmed the show's return at the Television Critics Association conference in January — but now that it's official, fans can enjoy the rest of the ongoing sixth season without worrying about saying goodbye at the end of it.
