10 Best Characters From Michael Schur TV Shows 

9. Donna Meagle (Parks And Recreation)

Ron Swanson Leslie Knope
NBC

One of the most underrated and interesting characters on Parks and Recreation was Donna Meagle, who started off the series in the background but made her way into the spotlight quickly. She's aggressive with men and money when she sees the need, and is one of the most loyal people in the series.

Simply put, Donna injects brilliant comedy moments into so many scenes. Watching her and Tom celebrate Treat Yo' Self anniversaries is always amazing, and inspired a whole host of memes for years afterwards.

One of the best is her freaking out about her Mercedes in the Season 2 hunting trip episode. That was the half-hour that both Donna and the series broke out and proved it was something special.

She starts off as a sleeper character but grows into a fan favorite, both funny and a voice of reason. On top of that, Donna is related to R&B singer, Ginuwine, which is just awesome.
