Parks & Rec: Why Leslie & Ben Couldn't Date (But Andy & April Could)
Why were April and Andy allowed to date in Parks & Rec without issue, but Leslie and Ben couldn't? Parks & Rec, focusing on the Parks Department in the fictional city of Pawnee, Indiana, ran on NBC from 2009 to 2015. The Mike Schur and Greg Daniels-created show had a number of memorable romantic pairings, with Leslie and Ben & Andy and April being the most popular. At a glance, there seems to be a double standard when it comes to the two couples. However, there is a reason why Leslie and Ben couldn't date, but Andy and April could.
