At last night’s Parks and Recreation panel at the PaleyFest moderated by TVLine’s Michael Ausiello, the show’s co-creator/showrunner Mike Schur laughed off speculation that co-star Rob Lowe could be leaving Parks to replace Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men. Per TVLine, he first suggested that several other Parks co-stars were joining other shows, including Hawaii Five-0, but later explained that Lowe — who skipped the panel because he was on the East Coast looking at colleges with his children — is a full-time castmember and will remain sofor many years to come. Of course, Parks and Recreation itself is yet to to renewed for next season.

if p&r stays on beyond this season, that is… with ratings like that it should be axed.
I love Parks, but I do not love Lowe on it. I’d be happy to see him jump ship.
Hope Parks & Rec doesn’t go anywhere. It’s the most underrated show on television right now.
Why would Lowe want to stay on the best comedy on NBC when he could be a retread Sheen on a Lorre hackfest?
Because he will get paid. And P&R is a bubble show that has a small group of followers but not a ton of universal appeal. More money, more job security, and definitely, definitely more fame given the debacle unfolding at 2.5 Men.
If only Rob Lowe could act. Or be funny.
He is pretty though.
