Parks and Recreation - Season 7 - Latest from TV Guide - best f y

How I Met Your Mother did a similar big change for the show's final season that ended up being pretty polarizing. Did that make you nervous when making this decision?

Schur: No, not at all. ... We try never to do anything or not do anything based on anything any other show has done. We just try to figure out what's good for us. As far as polarizing goes, so far it seems — from what I've heard, because I try to stay off the internet when the show airs — that people like it or at least think it's an interesting choice. We knew there would be people who don't like it and don't want it to happen. That's OK. Polarizing isn't always bad. It means that people care and as long as people care, then you're doing something right.

Speaking of polarizing: Leslie's bangs!

Schur: That was Poehler's decision, which I thought was really cool. That was Amy's pitch, that she would have a totally different hairstyle.
