Tonight we have some more people leaving an NBC show. This time it is Ann and Chris on Parks and Recreation. This also happens to be a good send-off for two loved characters. To celebrate Ann leaving, Leslie throws a party for her. Except she does it in Leslie Knope style, which is to say it is a party celebrating all the big events in the next year. As expected this episode is just one big goodbye to the characters. There were some humorous goodbyes, such as Tom deleting Ann from his phone and Larry and Ann getting choked up at Ron's admission that he enjoyed some of their time together. There were also some sweet ones, such as April admitting she does love Ann and Leslie telling Chris she that even though she thinks no guy is good enough for Ann, Chris is pretty darn close and Ben and Chris' goodbye. The other story was the guys trying to get something nice for Chris. They went through many ideas, but eventually played off something Chris said. It was a sweet gift for him. This show can keep going without Ann and Chris, and although I will miss them both, they weren't involved much in this season which prepared me for their departure. It was a great goodbye for two beloved characters.
