TVLine, covering the “Parks and Recreation” Paley Festival in Los Angeles, reports that Rob Lowe will not be replacing Charlie Sheen on “Two and a Half Men”:
Showrunner Mike Schur laughed off baseless rumors that Lowe would be leaving Parks for Two and a Half Men. Initially, he teased that several other Pawnee stars were joining new shows too, Hawaii Five-0 included, but later in the program Schur explained that Lowe — who had to skip the panel because he was on the East Coast looking at colleges with his children — is a full-time castmember and will remain such for many years to come.
“Parks” isn’t yet renewed for a fourth season but Amy Poehler is very optimistic: “I think this is the beginning of us being around for a long time.”
Poehler also revealed she wants a fellow SNL vet, Bill Murray, to play the mayor of Pawnee.
New episodes of "Parks" resume next Thursday.
