NBC's ["Parks and Recreation"](http://www.nbc.com/parks-and-recreation/ ""Parks and Recreation"" ) is as much an under-the-radar, word-of-mouth phenomenon as a prime-time TV show on a major network can possibly be. Maybe, then, it's kind of the sitcom equivalent of Neutral Milk Hotel... though none of the "Parks and Rec" stars have been hiding from the public eye for the past decade or so. Last night, the show made a pretty great reference to Neutral Milk Hotel and their semi-reclusive frontman Jeff Mangum, as The New York Times points out.

And look, they totally spelled Mangum's name right!
