As a man’s man, Ron enjoys all things manly, including hunting and woodworking, and eventually starting his own development company aptly called Very Good Building and Development Co. Ron is also well-known for being twice divorced, both to women named Tammy, so of course, he likes to refer to his first wife as Tammy I. Working in government, Ron has an odd perspective and believes that government should be privatized and small which is why he hires only those that are incompetent in hopes that they won’t get anything done.
Burt Macklin is one of the many alter-egos of Andy Dwyer. Andy Dwyer, known for his laziness and loveable idiocy, enjoys helping others when he can. Enter: Burt Macklin. When there’s a need for law enforcement, Burt Macklin is there, sporting his signature sunglasses and FBI jacket. Audiences are first introduced to Burt Macklin in season two after the vandalism of a local statute. Andy thinks the best way to help is by impersonating a police officer, so Burt Macklin enters and questions the suspect, Greg Pikitis. However, known for being a rude delinquent, Greg ends up making Burt cry. For the rest of the series, Burt Macklin makes an appearance each season as he tries to help solve crimes around Pawnee.

Parks and Recreation follow the parks and recreation department of Pawnee, Indiana, as they navigate all kinds of issues around the town. The director, Leslie Knope who is portrayed by Amy Poehler, takes her job very seriously. She often annoys her colleagues who try to complete as little work as possible. Some of the laziest employees include Tom Haverford, who believes his confidence and entrepreneurial skills will take him far in life. However, displaying the most apathy is intern April Ludgate, who completes the less than the bare minimum.
Despite the incompetent employees, Leslie Knope eventually inspires the department to accomplish projects that improve both Pawnee as well as their lives. After successfully filling in a giant construction pit, surviving a government shutdown, and countless setbacks, Leslie and her colleagues develop close bonds and begin to support one another in both their political and personal endeavors.
