CNN: Hitting the campaign trail on 'Parks and Rec'

Thursday night's season premiere of "Parks and Recreation" picked up
right where the season finale left off, with Leslie offered the chance
to run for political office, and Ron informed that his first ex-wife,
Tammy One, is in town.

First of all, it was hilarious to see Ron scared out of his mind,
opening up a vent to get a backpack full of supplies and heading for
the wilderness.

In the meantime, Leslie had a big decision to make, as her
relationship with Ben could become a major scandal. After all, turning
down a campaign wasn't an option for her: "While other girls were
playing with Barbies, I was playing with the Geraldine Ferraro action
figure that I made myself with a picture of her that I glued to a
popsicle stick!"

Speaking of scandals, the writers of "Parks and Recreation" were
obviously inspired by former Rep. Anthony Weiner. Leslie and the rest
of the women in city hall received photos of a penis - though Ann
believed the man who sent it might have the mumps. Next thing you
know, lots of men were e-mailing her photos because they wanted to be
"checked out." Never before has the repeated sound of an e-mail alert
been so hilarious.

But back to Leslie: She just couldn't bring herself to break up with
Ben, so she went to visit Ron for advice, which turned out to be just
what the doctor ordered. And Ben, ever the perfect boyfriend, broke up
with Leslie so she could run. (Say it with me: "Awww...")

As for the other characters, it was great to see Andy finally moving
past the shoe shine business, while Tom Haverford can't stay away from
the parks department, despite his new venture with Jean-Ralphio.

And finally, best of all, I present to you April Ludgate: "As acting
manager of the parks department, I declare that everything you're
saying is stupid! I love you."

Are you just as excited as I am to get more "Parks and Rec"? Were you
just as terrified of the first appearance of Tammy One at the end of
the episode ("Why is your mustache trembling")? Post your iReport or
