Parks & Rec: Ben & April Are Proof Of The Show's Greatest Strength
Ben and April are the perfect pair to prove Parks and Recreation's greatest strength. The NBC comedy series became popular for a variety of reasons -- the best of which was the varied friendships present throughout the show. Of course, there's the iconic duo of Leslie and Ron, plus Tom and Donna, Leslie and Ann, Donna and Jerry, Tom and Jean-Ralphio, and so many more. The friendships in the show are so great because the writing and performances reveal how much the characters truly care about each other, even if those involved have differing personalities. The friendships feel natural and realistic because people have diverse types of friends in real life. And this is particularly evident in Ben and April's unexpected but delightful dynamic.
