TV Line reports that Parks and Recreation, the NBC sitcom about small-town bureaucracy, is aiming to shoot part of the premiere of its upcoming fifth season on location in Washington.

The show, created by The Office veterans Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, injected a D.C.-appropriate story thread in its fourth-season finale, when Ben Wyatt, a city manager-turned-political adviser played by Adam Scott, announced he would be taking a campaign job in Washington. Previously, Scott’s character had been running the city council campaign of the show’s lead character, the erstwhile parks administrator Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). The characters were also in an on-again, off-again relationship.

According to TV Line scribe Michael Ausiello, NBC is considering doing it right when it comes to getting D.C. footage by coming here and not to, say, Baltimore, like a certain HBO series just did. Ausiello reports that in addition to Scott, any scenes shot in Washington may very well include Poehler.

Neither D.C.’s Office of Motion Picture and Television Development or NBC returned phone calls to confirm Ausiello’s report.
