I know this may seem blasphemous to most, but this is exactly how I feel.

I will say that I was an extreme "Parks and Recreation" fan for a very long time and I vowed that I would NEVER watch "The Office." I mean why would I go behind my favorite show's back and support their mortal enemy?

First of all, who decided that these two shows have to go against each other?

Why can't I just love both without someone jumping on my back and forcing me to chose between the two? They are both two extremely hilarious comedies that I enjoy.

I enjoy them both for different reasons, but they are different shows. When you actually compare them side by side you will see that their only similarity is that they both happen to be in a workplace environment.

I feel like that is one reason why so many people can connect to these shows. Most of the people that have watched can either see a character that acts like someone they have worked with or seeing themselves in certain characters.

In "Parks and Recreation," we see that Leslie Knope seems to be the main character who is cheery and optimistic, unlike "The Office" where Michael Scott seems to be the main character and is a little more offensive and humorous.

I really enjoy all the characters in both shows though because they are all well-developed and are played by stellar people such as Chris Pratt, Amy Poehler, and Nick Offerman on "Parks and Recreation" and Steve Carell, Mindy Kaling, and Jenna Fischer on "The Office."

In conclusion, I just want to say that no one should have to pick a side of which one is the best. They are both incredible shows that everyone needs to see at least once.
