All 123 Episodes of Parks and Recreation (before the finale) Ranked (and also Top 100 Characters)

Over the past two years, with the finales of 30 Rock, The Office, and How I Met Your Mother, I have done a variety of lists. With the finale of Parks and Recreation airing tonight, we reach the end of the road of long-running, live-action, network sitcoms (the new #1, as of last Thursday, is The Big Bang Theory. Mike & Molly is the fourth longest tenured!) To celebrate, here's my list of all 123 episodes of Parks and Rec, leading up to tonight's:

And because I'm crazy, here's the top 100 characters. Sort of. Like with my similar 30 Rock list, the bottom of the list (here the bottom 7 really) are characters I disliked, but didn't want to seem like I forgot them. They all really rank behind Diane's daughters, for example, but were far more notable to the series.
