I might be the only person in the world that thinks this, but I really liked Paul Schneider / Mark Brendanawicz in Parks and Rec. He seemed more "real" to me than his replacements, who were more cartoonish.

Even though the show *in general* got better in season 2 onward, I always wondered what could have been if he had stayed...

Then the characters who worked with him and “knew” him don’t ever mention his name ever again, not even one single time, like he never existed. The only thing I was turned off by on this otherwise great show.

I could accept that he was a cold, womanizing, occasionally obliviously jerky guy who was like a less refined Jim Halpert who most people didn’t miss, but to erase him from existence just seemed unrealistic to expect the audience to just forget he was ever a character. I mean, who are we talking about again? 😉
