Amy Poehler's new comedy seems to have a title: "Parks and Recreation."
NBC hasn't officially announced the show's title, but the network did air a promo for the series featuring that title during Sunday night's post-Super Bowl edition of "The Office."
NBC has been referring to the project, from Greg Daniels and Michael Schur of "The Office," as the untitled Poehler/Daniels/Schur project. Last week, the New York Times reported that the series would likely be called "Public Service," leading a number of bloggers to declare that the show had a name.
Officials for NBC, however, declined to confirm "Public Service" as the title—because, as it turns out, that wasn't the show's name.
"Parks and Recreation" refers to the city government department for which Ms. Poehler's character will be working in the show.
The series premieres in March.
