Season Six observes Parks And Rec’s first big drop in quality, with the headline being that Ann and Chris both depart midyear. Their exit constitutes a major loss, removing a reliably funny ensemble player in Chris and a tentpole of the situation in Ann, whose bond with Leslie has been a vital personification of the premise. Now, it’s not the same as, say, losing Michael Scott — the central character, around whom an entire situation revolves — but they are key figures who contributed to the show’s quality at its peak; minus them, we’re guaranteed that those days are un-replicable. Naturally, Six’s back nine really suffers for their absence, yet with their departure announced near season’s start, this is a cloud that hangs over the whole year. And since Andy also misses most of early Six while Chris Pratt was becoming a Marvel movie star, this means the season is set up to never sound like classic Parks And Rec.
