How Do You Solve Parks and Rec’s Ann Perkins Problem? | Vulture
“One who rarely gets quotable lines and seems only rarely to be essential to the story: Ann Perkins. She deserves better…”
This article nails it on the head:
Leslie is perky and almost naively ambitious; she’s a goofy drunk and has an outrageous sweet tooth, but is also a hoarder.
April is sulky and sour and hates everything — except Andy, Ron, and Neutral Milk Hotel.
Ron is a libertarian meat-lover with outstanding survival skills and even more outstanding one-liners. Jerry is the worst.
Donna’s a fox.
Tom’s a high-energy wannabe-douche who’s secretly a nice guy,
Andy’s a human golden retriever,
Chris is a health-obsessed perfectionist who can’t stop saying “litrally” and believes he can live to be 150.
Ann is … a nurse.While a perfect foil to Leslie, she lacks her own definition. Even Karen was better than this!
Ann is the everywoman. She’s just the normal one. Which is wonderful. The show needs it.
