She stays the same. The supporting characters take less attention off her in season 2 and on

This. I have up in season 1 on the original run. Binged it on Netflix and never went back and watched the first season. The show found its identity in season 2

I get that the character can be annoying but the show gets so good you don't even notice and they dial her back a tad.

I'm not sure if I'd say she has less of a role, but the other characters start to get tons of attention after season 1. I guess by default, that makes her have less of a role.

I didn't care for season 1 all that much. The rest of it might be my favorite comedy ever. I don't watch that many comedy TV shows, though.

Knope was my least favorite character, until they introduced he obnoxiously loud gay guy.

And I loved the show.

Ron Swanson is probably my favorite tv character ever. And I don't really care for Amy either.

The problem is you're going through Season 1. Which is a terrible season of television. Don't judge it based on that awful shite. She gets better.

She's not a character that you're gonna wish had more lines.

But if she wasn't there, the show probably wouldn't work.
Swanson is awesome, but he probably wouldn't be so cool if he was the main character.

the show is great, but it's almost like they write it so people cringe at everything amy's character does

I never even realized how useless her character was. I love the show and if you started talking about it, I could go for hours listing funny things from other characters, and I would completely not even remember that she is in the show.

I totally disagree.

I HATED Amy Poehler on SNL. I despised her. I couldn't finish season 1. Once I grew to like the show, she grew on me. She isn't remotely cringe worthy to me at the end.

Her gifts to Ron Swanson are awesome. The private dinner. The trip to Scotland.

People wrongly compare her to Michael Scott. She is nothing like Scott even in season 1. She is a nonstop worker bee and competent. She does all the work in the office. She couldn't be further opposed to Scott.

The first season in general is very mediocre. Once it hits its stride then it becomes addictive.

After the writers figure out what they have in Andy and Ron, the show really takes off.
