(*) Under ordinary circumstances, Schur and I would have done our usual post-finale interview. One show that somehow never came up, even though its finale is among the most universally acclaimed in TV history: “Six Feet Under.” I was the one conducting the interview, but Schur was also steering it in directions he wanted to go, and I wonder(*) if he knew then that if the show stuck around long enough (past at least two other In Case of Emergency finales), he might want to model the actual conclusion of the series on the final six minutes of “Six Feet.”

We got into drama at various points (some in parts that didn't make the final transcript), mentioning “The Sopranos,” “The Shield” and “The Wire.” He talked, as he so often does, about his admiration for the final 15 minutes of “Cheers,” which is just the characters sitting around the bar talking to each other.

He talked about how once upon a time, he was convinced that the show would end with the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the park Leslie built on Lot 48. We published many stories about the show over the last week, including an Amy Poehler interview, an essay on the show's greatness, and a whole lot more, and I have a review of the series finale coming up just as soon as you give me a pair of your gym socks…Ī few years ago, Mike Schur and I had a very long discussion of finales – not only the many times he had written “Parks” episodes that could function as series finales if NBC canceled them, but of the many sitcom and drama finales he had admired over the years. And so “Parks and Recreation” has come to an end.
