      Nick Offerman Relinquishes the Ron Swanson 'Stache, Bows Down to 'Hero' Sam Elliott

      In NBC’s Parks and Recreation, Nick Offerman rocked one of the most iconic mustaches in pop-culture history as Ron Swanson, the red-tape-hating, red-meat-loving civil servant and reluctant friend to Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope. In case you haven’t noticed, that impressively groomed ‘stache has been MIA since the show’s teary 2015 finale, even as Offerman has become an increasingly prolific presence in TV and film. “The mustache was so utilized and well received in Parks & Recreation that it’s gonna be on the bench for a while,” Offerman told Yahoo Movies at the Los Angeles press day for his latest movie, the poignant comedic drama The Hero starring Sam Elliott as an aging movie star coming to terms with his mortality.

      ‘Trial & Error’: Making a Funny Murderer?

      It’s a great premise, although some viewers will inevitably consider it in poor taste: Trial & Error is a sitcom about a man accused of murdering his wife. The man is a small-town poetry professor played by John Lithgow, who portrays fussy outrage superlatively — especially because it looks as though there’s a reasonable chance that this dithering eccentric may have done the terrible deed. Show creators Jeff Astrof and Matt Miller have recognized the untapped market for true-crime parody, and are shrewd enough to give us a suspect utterly unlike Making of a Murderer’s Steven Avery.
