NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” received a third-season order Friday, apparently to lock in a schedule for cast members Amy Poehler (“Baby Mama”), Paul Schneider (“Bright Star,” “Away We Go”), Rashida Jones (“I Love You, Man”), Nick Offerman (“The Men Who Stare At Goats”), Aubrey Plaza (“Funny People,” “Scott Pilgrim”), Aziz Ansari (“Funny People,” “Get Him To The Greek”) and Chris Pratt (“Bride Wars,” “Jennifer’s Body”), all of whom have busy careers away from the series.

The “Parks” pick-up also practically guarantees 2010-11 pick-ups for fellow NBC sitcoms “Community,” “30 Rock” and “The Office,” all of which pull better ratings than “Parks.”
