10 TV Episodes You Didn't Know Were Filmed By Famous Hollywood Directors

2. Parks And Recreation €“ Paul Feig

Episode: "Pawnee Zoo" Paul Feig may be more of a TV director than a film director, with experience on Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, and The Office, but he left that behind him when he broke onto the movie scene with Bridesmaids, and then unfortunately followed it up with The Heat. But he also directed the Season Two premiere of Parks and Recreation, which marked a turning point for the series, as it began to find its voice and ushered it in to the place it is today. Featuring Leslie Knope raising controversy as she "officiates" the marriage between two male penguins. Which just happens to be Pawnee's very first gay marriage. And Leslie is caught in the middle of a crossfire between a conservative group who expect her to step down for them, and all of her friends at the gay bar who expect her to stand up for them. While not perfect by any means, it showed the potential the show had to be.
