10 Parks & Recreation Characters Who Deserve Their Own Spin-Off

10. Tom Haverford

One of the breakout characters from Parks and Recreation, Tom Haverford was a fan favourite from the start, helped by Aziz Ansari’s winning turn as the sarcastic yet strangely loveable underachiever.

Tom was the saving grace of the show’s otherwise slow first season and only got funnier as the series progressed, helped by a series of increasingly outlandish business ventures and a penchant for amusing abbreviations and turns-of-phrase.

Some of the show’s funniest moments came when he partnered up with his friend and occasional business partner Jean Ralphio, while his pranks on Gerry provide yet more of the show’s biggest laughs.

Given his ambition and entrepreneurial acumen, Haverford seems a perfect fit for a spin-off set in a different city (like Frasier), chronicling his efforts to make it big with a series of unique but ultimately flawed business ventures.
