The insider account into the sitcom that barely survived its first season - but went on to become a modern classic.

When Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, creators of The Office, came together to write a new comedy, they wanted to create something that would celebrate the power of community. Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson and the rest of the Pawnee gang became the escape we all needed, balancing sharp political commentary with heart, optimism and top-notch comedy. But the road wasn't smooth, despite one of TV's most lovable casts.
