The Unfortunate Problem With Parks And Rec’s Tom Haverford

Tom Haverford wasn't always the most likable character on Parks and Recreation. In fact, early Tom was almost the exact opposite of what made the beloved sitcom work.

Obsessed with money, status, and looking successful, Tom spent the early seasons slacking off and getting on everyone's nerves. But somewhere along the way, Parks and Rec figured out how to turn those very flaws into some of the show's funniest moments. Giving Tom Haverford one of its most surprisingly satisfying character arcs.

Because sometimes, the best character development doesn't come from changing who someone is. It comes from finally giving them a reason to grow.
