Parks and Recreation renewed for a third season

The "Parks and Recreation" department of Pawnee, Indiana is staying in business.

NBC's sophomore comedy starring Amy Poehler has been renewed for a third season, reports The Wrap.

Though "Parks and Rec" is not a ratings giant -- averaging around 5 million viewers each week -- it has become a critical favorite as it's flourished creatively.

NBC execs Jeff Gaspin and Angela Bromstad are reportedly both fans.

Zap2it is too.

Congrats, "P&R"!
