NBC says of “I’m Leslie Knope”:
Leslie (Amy Poehler) has to either break-up with Ben (Adam Scott) or follow her dream of running for office. Ann (Rashida Jones) is forced to dispense medical advice after making an unexpected diagnosis. Meanwhile, Ron (Nick Offerman) prepares for the return of his first ex-wife, Tammy One (guest star Patricia Clarkson).
There’s a golf enthusiast tonight who alone is worth the price of tuning in.
What NBC refuses to tell you is confined to invisotext.
* The amount of time that transpires over the course of this episode confuses me.
* My confusion stems mostly from the possibility that Nick Offerman may this week be employing a prop previously utilized on the “Fringe” pilot.
* A sizeable chunk of this episode appears to have been inspired by former U.S. congressman Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.).
* Perd Hapley’s back, never more clueless.
* Andy may have shined his last shoe this week
* “Oh look! Ed Miller from payroll!”
* SUPERSPOILER: The office Leslie seeks is NOT mayor of Pawnee.
* We don’t meet Tammy One, or learn what kind of work she does, until episode’s end. Tammy Two does not turn up at all.
