![]() Star Trek: Voyager’s “Critical Care” does more than make fun of Jerry The same wife who ran off with Gar and left the poor sad husband all alone. Why did the husband do this? Because his wife asked him to. So the husband did whatever he could for Gar, even if it meant helping him do something less than honest. The husband knew Gar, as Gar and the husband’s wife were close. The Voyager comes across this character as they look for a thief named Gar, who stole The Doctor from the ship to sell him. In the season seven episode “Critical Care” ( 7×05), O’Heir is seen playing an alien, only intensified in the credits as “Husband”. What those same fans may not realize or remember is that the actor who played Jerry, Jim O’Heir, was in Star Trek: Voyager and he basically played a more depressing version of his Parks and Rec character. ![]() A binging rewatch may just be what the doctor ordered, though, or you can check out our list of shows with similar humor.Jim O’Heir basically played a sad version of Jerry Gergich in Star Trek: Voyager.įans of the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation (or Parks and Rec) will fondly remember Jerry Gergich, the bumbling but dedicated civil servant how only wanted to put in a hard day of work and go home to his shockingly attractive family. While a Parks and Rec revival would literally be the universe treating itself the way it should, it doesn’t look like a reboot is happening for now. Even if you don’t consider the countless iconic guest appearances or the pure comedic gold sprinkled throughout each and every episode, the show gave us the now A-list Marvel and action star Chris Pratt, the iconic Li'l Sebastian, and even a holiday people actually want to celebrate every year - and that honestly just scratches the surface. There’s a reason we’re still talking about Parks and Rec over half a decade later: the show gave us so much. This episode really showcases how much Ron had grown to care and depend on Leslie and the other characters. It takes a while, but the two spill the beans on why they’ve been so angry with one another. The two can’t even be in the same room together, so their friends lock them in the Parks and Rec department to sort it out. (Image credit: Youtube) Honorable Mention: Leslie and Ron (Season 7, Episode 4)īetween the time jump that happened in between Season 6 and 7, Ron and Leslie had a massive falling out. In a side plot, Ron Swanson has to figure out how to eat a banana, and ends up hiding it in a burger like you hide a pill from a dog. After Chris Traeger gets “one of his running feet” caught in a coyote trap that is loose on the floor and loses his cool probably more than he does in the whole series, the pair (and in Chris’s fit of rage, the whole department) is fired and Leslie gets to work finding a suitable replacement. The burn-out slackers of the Animal Control department show up occasionally from Season 2 to 5, but in this particular episode Leslie Knope has had enough of their shenanigans. ![]() Wittels was also a writer and producer on the show, but passed away before the series’ end, making his character even more dear to the hearts of fans and those who worked on the show. This episode has so many funny moments, and it’s pretty much impossible to have a “best of” Parks and Rec list without somehow including the Animal Control duo of Brett and Harris, played by Colton Dunn and Harris Wittels, respectively.
