10 TV Shows That Almost Had Much Better Endings
5. Andy Becomes Mayor - Parks & Recreation
The Ending: The futures of the all the major characters are explored, the most notable of which sees either Leslie or Ben having ascended to what appears to be President of the United States status; Jerry becomes Mayor of Pawnee; Andy and April have a son and name him "Jack." Aw.
The Alternative Ending: The ending of Parks and Recreation was actually pretty damn perfect, but this little inclusion - something that had been intended for a long time - would have been the icing on the cake. In the show, then, it's Jerry who becomes Mayor, but the original plan was a lot different according to executive producer Mike Schur:
"That's what we thought. He was going to shine everyone's shoes and everyone who meets him loves him, and that's why we kept him doing that for a while. And one point in season two or season three, we were like, 'Andy's going to be the mayor someday!'"
Should have happened. Really should have happened.
