Storyline

- TriviaChris Traeger's (Rob Lowe) math is faulty, possibly further justifying his necessary partnership with Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott). He says he's run 10 miles a day every day for 18 years, which is 65,000 miles, 'a third of the way to the moon.' On one hand, 10 miles a day for 18 years would be closer to 65,700 miles, so he's selling himself short. On the other hand, the moon is 238,900 miles from Earth. One-third that distance is 79,633 miles. At his current pace he has about three years and 10 months before he can honestly claim to have run a third of the way to the moon. It will be another 43 years and eight months past that before he reaches his goal.
- GoofsWhen Chris Traeger is jogging through the hospital and runs into Ann, he takes off his ear buds and puts them around his neck onto his shoulders. In the next shot, his ear buds are completely off his shoulders and neck, hanging off his neck strap on his back.

"Freddy Spaghetti" is a pretty funny episode in its own right, but what it does best is provide closure for a lot of on-going storylines that ran throughout the season. We see April and Andy's "will-they wont-they" storyline reach its conclusion. Tom's new relationship with Lucy is beginning to heat up. And conflict between Leslie and the new state auditors are reaching a boiling point as the Pawene government has temporarily been shut down. My favorite moments in all the "government shutting down debacle", are Ron' child-like glee over the entire situation. Also his gun-fire ring tone is amazing!
Season 2 as a whole is a major improvement over Season 1. I mean, when you have a season that is literally 18 episodes longer, it is bound to be an improvement. With that being said, I think the show really came into its own and has proven to be extremely original and fresh, unlike most other live-action sitcoms. Parks and Recreation is almost like a live-action version of The Simpsons. It has that perfect combination of funny and sweet, and takes place in a town that is almost like a character in its own right. We have seen the show blossom into all this in just Season 2 alone, and things get even more funny and the show expands to even more heights in the next seasons. The third and fourth seasons are in my opinion, the best seasons in the entire series, so if you thought season 2 was great, just wait until you see what's next.
My overall rating for Season 2:
8.8/10
