"Party Down" star Adam Scott will be moving to Indiana for his next TV job. Pawnee, Ind., to be exact.Scott will join the cast of "Parks and Recreation" for the final episodes of this season and become a cast regular next season (the show's already been picked up for 2010-11). He'll be playing a love interest for Leslie (Amy Poehler), Variety reports.
Scott will also get a first-look production deal with Universal Media Studios as part of his agreement to join the series.
His signing with "Parks and Rec" means that he'll be leaving Starz's cult favorite "Party Down" -- though viewers won't notice anything for a while. The show has already filmed all of its second season, which premieres in April 23. If the show is picked up for a third season, he would likely appear in a couple of episodes, Variety says.
Scott's casting on "Parks and Rec" follows that of "Brothers & Sisters" star Rob Lowe, who will begin a guest arc on the show toward the end of the season.
Scott's credits also include HBO's "Tell Me You Love Me," "Knocked Up" and "Step Brothers."

Wow they are making some big changes on Parks & Recs. Lets hope it works out. Although Season 1 was lackluster, I really have enjoyed Season 2
The real question is why NBC renewed Parks and Recreation at all. The show has horrible ratings and has shown no sign of improving.
Why spend more money on a proven loser?
I just hope the show does not do what 30 Rock did and just becomes a show revolving around one big name guest every show.....it got really old on 30 Rock to the point where the show is not even close to being as funny as it was its first and second seasons.
i love this show! its the only show on nbc that i watch
