Even diehard Parks & Rec fans will admit that the show got off to a rough start, so when Paul Schneider bounced after season two, the producers filled the void with Rob Lowe and Adam Scott as state auditors at odds with our friends in the parks department. Lowe's maniacal health nut Chris Traeger played good cop to Scott's Ben Wyatt, a failed teen mayor who lived and died by the numbers before Leslie Knope taught him to treat the town's citizens as more than figures in a ledger. Of course, both quickly found love interests in Pawnee and stuck around. Lowe's abrupt, clipped delivery may have worn itself out by the time he left in season six, but Scott stuck around through the finale, leaving a mountain of quirks and indie rock t-shirts in his wake.
