anyone watch?

first episode- not bad.

[KatPw]

It was enjoyable. I'm optimistic about the show.

[hammersavage]

A couple dead spots, but the jokes that hit, hit big for me. The breakfast club line, the 'am I deaf' line, the Asbergers line, all really made me laugh. The arab kid was great.


And I like the premise. Joel McHale is hilarious. I'll definitely be a watcher.

[TheGameHHH]

when joel mchale told that kid he had aspergers i nearly shit myself, that was a funny line. it was a decent show, ill prob. watch next week

[STC-Dub]

It is better than Parks and Recreation, I liked it and will keep watching.

[FunkyDrummer]

Here's a taste:

[Willmore]

Not bad. On par with P&R, still nowhere close to 30 Rock, The Office and Sunny.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

fuque, I forgot to DVR it.....

hulu or nbc.com here I cum

[fezident]

"Am I deaf? Can you guys hear me??! Can you hear me talking?!!?"

Loved it.

[Aggie]

I almost never think pilot's are good but thought this was well done. It won me over, mostly because of McHale but they laid a strong foundation. I'm excited for a new comedy.

[burrben]

its funny

[pennington]

I liked it. Even Chevy Chase didn't annoy me in it and that never happens.

If you haven't seen it, it's worth a look over at Hulu.com. Actually, without commercials it moves pretty fast.

[hammersavage]

I think this show is hilarious. When 30 Rock comes back next week, that is quite the comedy lineup.

[Marc with a c]

joel mchale might be sneaking into my top five man crushes.

[red_red_red]

i watched the first 2 episodes on hulu this morning, i enjoyed it. that breakfast club shit in the pilot had me laughing out loud.

[IMSlacker]

John Oliver is hysterical.

[furie]

it's ok. sadly since there aren't many good shows around anymore, this one will do.

[Ocho Cinco]

um... eh. not horrific but eh. i like mchale but this is a little much, i'd much rather watch the soup then this. i may give it one more episode but prob not, there are much better comedies out there

[TheMojoPin]

um... eh. not horrific but eh. i like mchale but this is a little much, i'd much rather watch the soup then this. i may give it one more episode but prob not, there are much better comedies out there

Yeah, I'm not really wowed by it. The sooner they forget Chevy Chase was ever on the show the better.

[Enabler]

I like this show and Parks and Rec. Parks and Rec has gotten better every week as you learn the characters and Community has the same potential.

[TheMojoPin]

I like this show and Parks and Rec. Parks and Rec has gotten better every week as you learn the characters and Community has the same potential.

Yeah, P&R is knocking it out this season. The latest episode was probably the best one so far.

[Willmore]

Yeah, P&R is knocking it out this season. The latest episode was probably the best one so far.

No doubt. I can say the same for Community though, it's almost like the showrunners and writers have all this built up pressure for the first few episodes of the season, but by #4-5, they get into it, and the quality improves. Hype usually kills episodes. Take The Office, the most hyped episodes always stink - Superbowl and now the Wedding episodes all had these cheesy storylines and gags, it was like watching a CBS sitcom, sad.

[Fallon]

Yeah, P&R is knocking it out this season. The latest episode was probably the best one so far.

The guy pleading not to be in the dirt contest with everyone was hilarious. P&R is getting good and so is Community. Both are starting to develop more depth into the other characters.

[hammersavage]

This is a great show, pretty original idea for a new setting as well

Plus i love how Joel McHale deadpans his character on the Soup and lampoons the show in a good natured way on the Soup as well

Anyone watching? I liked the epsidoe where Britta and Jeff were getting whooped by those HS kids with the Duh comebacks. and the Paintball episode with senor Chang. But they killed it when Britta and Jeff got together, now the chemistry is going to be different.

This show gets better and better, Abed is one of my favorite characters now... the chicken finger episode and high school kid episodes were fantastic (haven't seen the paintball one yet, we watch this show on demand and the eps lag a bit)

One of the best shows around. It's up there with Arrested Dev and 30 Rock. I hate when people say "tv sucks" or "there are no good shows". Community is fantastic. I've loved this show forever. I tell everybody I can that they should watch it, and they never do.
What a shame.

I hope they don't ruin it and give Senor Chang a spinoff. Although... if Rabbi Chang got a spinoff... I suppose I'd watch it. :wink:

[Rawkus]

Haven't missed an episode since it started. I tell everyone about it too but it doesn't seem to be getting a lot of heat from what i see. Chevy chase is fucking hilarious, the episode where he's teaching the black chick how to speak in public was so goddamn funny, even though she is the weakest one of them all.

[Crossweird]

The paintball episode was, without hyperbole, the best sitcom episode that I've seen in years.

Abed: "Come with me if you don't want paint on your clothes."

Awesome.

[Fallon]

Troy being offended at Abed's dream was hilarious.

[fezident]

Uh oh.
These last two episodes have really not been funny.
Troy's birthday episode was the weakest of the entire series! And the Xmas animation episode was truly unfunny (perhaps by design).

The need to get those characters back on the campus, and interacting with each other.

[Gutter]

i thought the animation episode was a riot.......Pierce as a teddy bear was BRILLIANT!!! and "troy soldier"? c'mon...thats funny. i lost my shit when teddy Pierce went down the slide towards the end.....i knew he would stumble down it and it would look hilarious......i thought it was funny and well done animation wise......and yes....i was stoned out of my mind. :smoke:

[fezident]

I wasn't feelin' that animated episode. Not at all.
The ANIMATION was cute but, other than that... it felt flat. The actors were clearly not in the room together when they recorded their voices. There was NONE of the show's usual overlapping quips and conversations. None of the snappy patter. And none of those moments wherein the entire group talks over each other. It really felt stale.

The animation was pretty cute though. Gotta hand it to 'em.

[CYYYFYYY]

I love community but I agree the animations was a bad episode.

[Gutter]

get high and watch it again.

[StanUpshaw]

Any episode without a little Annie fan service is a bit of a disappointment.

spoiler alert.....



i think that was the worst decision ever putting Nona in the finals.....Jillian absolutely deserved it......Ramsey had that whole talk with her and she killed it the last 2 services and won that challenge that none of the other chefs came close on.....she won a few other challenges during that last stretch too. Jillian should be there vs. Russell.

Definitely the least atlented season. I would've thought he'd put Jillian up there too. I wish he would've just shit-canned the three of them and called it a season, I'm not a fan of any of them.

[Gutter]

yea, i was hoping he'd call it quits on this one too. there have been seasons like this before, but usually by the end, they at least have 2 or 3 ppl with some actual talent.....this year, we're down to the finals and ppl cut in week 3 from other seasons would cook circles around these goons.

ANNNNYONE that made it through the first cut of Master Chef would have done better.

[pennington]

The ANIMATION was cute but, other than that... it felt flat. The actors were clearly not in the room together when they recorded their voices.

I have to give them credit for doing something new but it was missing something. This whole season feels that way. It's like they're trying too hard to come up with episodes that are different.

Maybe they need to get the cast back in class and throw in an occasional special episode. I also preferred it when Senor Chang was a teacher rather than a student.

[Enabler]

I couldnt make it through the whole animated episode either. I hated it. And I dont understand why they dont use Chang more. Maybe they peaked with the Trampoline and Blanket Fort episodes.

[Chimee]

I didn't get to watch the Christmas episode because, for some reason, my Directv recorded 25 minutes of MSNBC and then the last five minutes of Community.

[Snacks]

I was looking forward to this animated episode but it turned out like most things that look good at first, complete shit.

Bingo.
The thing that makes Community somewhat unique is realism.
There is no narrator, no flashbacks, no whip-pans to some other location, nothing. It's entirely "real".
(unlike Arrested Dev, Always Sunny,30 Rock, Family Guy....)

I also like that they never really leave the campus. The "spaceship" episode, Troy's birthday episode, and the animated episode are, easily, the worst episodes of the series. Not coincedentally... they are the episodes where the producers are attempting something different for the sake of being different. It's gimmicky.

Real? What show are you watching?

They abandoned any pretense of reality as of the paintball episode. The show is a cartoon now. Each episode some new wacky shit happens, then the next week they start over like nothing ever happened.


Not to mention them constantly breaking the 4th wall...even having the fucking characters talk about how "meta" they're being. You are literally RETARDED if you think one of this show's attributes is its realism.

[fezident]

I'm obviously referring to the construct of the show.
The show itself is presented as "real". Obviously, the paintball episodes falls under the "gimmick" heading that I mentioned earlier.
The show DOES have continuity. They make references to past episodes and classes. They graduate. Pierce is still in a wheelchair, etc etc.

The CONSTRUCTION of the show, as clearly voiced several times on the dvd commentary by the creators and producers and cast, is to keep in based in reality in terms of time. No cut-aways, no whip pans, no flashbacks, no voiceovers.. and to keep it grounded.

[StanUpshaw]

Sorry, there's nothing obvious about the gibberish you just typed.

It sounds like what happened is that you listened to some DVD commentaries and heard the creators backhandedly shitting on other series and tried to pass it off as an original thought.

It still makes no sense why it's more "real" to have your wacky, utterly implausible gags occur linearly, rather than have the wacky, utterly implausible gags occur in the "Remember that time when..." style. Explain how that is "real" or "grounded".

I have to agree with you. Even though I love this show its not some ground breaking, different show. It actually has done everything Fezident said it doesnt do.

[fezident]

Every single sitcom is unrealistic.
No person has the crazy DAILY adventures and misunderstandings of Lucille Ball, or Ralph Kramden, or Jack Tripper, and on and on and on. The very nature of a sitcom has to be unrealistic.
Some sitcoms take it a step beyond that. The very laws of physics don't apply. Fonzie has magic powers. People can't get injured. That kinda thing.
Lately, there is pattern forming wherein sitcoms cut-away from the characters to reveal a moment/flashback/dream etc. These moments are not "real". These moments are visible only to us, the home viewer. The other characters on the show, in those moments, do not see what we see.
Community has a few dozen episodes in the can. Within that lot, only a view of episodes break the rules of THEIR reality in THEIR sitcom universe. That's what made the paintball episode so much different than the rest of the series. It's a wink to the audience. Same goes for when Abed, the character who is obsessed with movies/tv says aloud "oh, this is a bottle episode" or what have you. It's a wink.

That's the reality I was referring to.


We're not talking about a documentary here. Obviously, a man as truly stupid as Pierce could never have amassed a fortune as a CEO of a company. No more than, "a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away" everybody speaks in english and looks & dresses exactly like us... right down to our shoelaces and leather belts.
Of course I understand these differences in "realism.. for the sake of the story".
In Community, they(the creators) carved a niche for THEIR reality and for their tone of the show... and now they're breaking it.

[Barnaby Jones]

This show is great!

What's up with them showing more of the other students in the college? All though I have nothing against Leonard and Magnitude. "Pop Pop!"

Shirley, Britta and Pierce seemed to have bit parts in the recent episode and Chang wasn't even there I don't think.

the previous two were kinda centered on pierce. i never saw the need for shirley to have a big role; she's easily the least interesting character. magnitude sucks balls. chang does need to be more involved. maybe he was off filming a movie?

Uh-oh, community pulled from midseason lineup. They say it's not permanent, but it's not a good sign at all.

Its been kinda lagging and ratings have gone down..

And unless you are incredibly stupid, Community college does not last 3 years...

Isn't it 18m-24 mos tops Associate Degree school?

So the premise as it pertains to a long run was flawed to begin with...

This season has had its ups and downs but Im not shocked by this at all. This show never had good ratings. Season 1 avg only 5 million viewers and ranked 97th overall and last season avg 4.4 million and was ranked 115 overall. I was more surprised that it came back for a 3rd season after those ratings. Too much competition on Thursdays at 8!

Its 4 full time semesters if you take a full college load of 12-15 credits, so you could get your asst degree in 2 years. The show was only doing 1 semester per season if Im correct?! But that alone would be 4 seasons plus I dont think they were taking that many classes so they could have strung this along for 7 or 8 seasons if the show was doing well.

Well, they always seem to have other classes other than the ones on the show.

And Jeff wants to get done with it ASAP to get back his law degree and what not, i wouldn't think he would stay there long.

They could try to transfer to a 4 year but greendale is a huge part of the show..

[Fallon]

That's terrible news!

A friend of mine tried to watch last weeks episode and she hated it. I guess it's too quirky.

it's fucking tv, and a comedy at that

I guess im reading too much into it..

[Chimee]

I could see them doing some shenanigans if they made it to the end of a fourth semester where the Dean doesn't count it and they're stuck at Greendale until the show hits syndication.

[Bob Impact]

I guess im reading too much into it..

I was gonna say, yeah, this is far too much analysis of the timeline of a sitcom.

It's also very rare that damn near an entire office stays together for 7 years too, they should change the entire cast of The Office.

[sailor]

wasn't 90210 on for like a decade?

[Snacks]

wasn't 90210 on for like a decade?

Yes but they werent in high school for 10 years.

[pennington]

I losing interest in this show as well.

Originally the main character was Jeff interacting with the characters around him. He was the fast-talking lawyer; now Joel McHale looks tired all the time and that unshaven look is getting old. The show revolves around Abed and Troy too much.

John Goodman's character hasn't added much but I like what they've done to expand Dean Pelton's role. Except for Jeff, they're trying too hard to cram in wackiness for every character in every episode and it's losing it's effectiveness.

I'll probably hang in there for the duration, but I record the shows now and get to them later.

[Gutter]

If you really like the show, than please tell NBC what a bunch of fucking idiots they're being. Community has been removed from the mid-season line up and is apparently on the chopping block. Somehow, Whiney still survives.

This show lost it's way faster than any other show I can think of. It's right up there with Lost in terms of it starting off as one thing, and meandering it's way into something a lot less focused. Good riddance.
PS- please give Annie and/or the Dean a spinoff.

I find it totally the opposite. I feel like the first handful of episodes no one there really knew what the characters should be or what the show's tone should be and they managed to make everything cohesive and original in that first season.

Agreed. I almost dropped out after 3 or 4 episodes before they found their groove. The pizza party episode a few weeks back was especially great.

[disneyspy]

i'm with furie,this show started out good and now just shits the bed with its stupidity

[fezident]

This show jumped the parking-lot-winnebago-spaceship-simulator a long time ago.

30 ROCK eats a big mexican dinner,pulls its pants down and shits all over this shows stupid face

i liked the dice roll/alternate timeline episode.

I actually think Dude! is Gvac though.

[Dan G]

That was out of the creators control. The 7 timeline episode was supposed to be the 3rd episode of the season, unfortunately it wasn't completed in time, so they aired it as the 4th. If you notice, Troy and Abed's apartment number is 303 signifying Season 3 episode 3.

Still, even with a 2 week break, it's awfully close to air similar episodes, just looked worse having to air them back-to-back.

[Fallon]

And 30rock is terrible.

Kenneth is the worst.

Should have guessed something was up when one of the stars of the show did a phone in on After O&A. Yet another show I like gets axed, sigh.

They worked the word "Beetlejuice" into one episode per season for three seasons. Long way to go for a throwaway joke.

Oh shit! Now its been said twice in this thread. One more time and Fat Sunny will show up to tell us how his garden is doing.

I wonder if he had that board summer party...

[fezident]

Just listened to an interview with Joel McHale and Adam Carolla.
Adam asked him -point blank- "I heard the show was canceled... is that true?"

Joel replied "the official word is the we've been 'benched'. We will not be part of the winter schedule, but we were told that we WILL be returning in the fall."


Whatever THAT means.... it doesn't look good for the future of the show.

[pennington]

Whatever THAT means.... it doesn't look good for the future of the show.

I heard that Carolla podcast too. I think it means that if there's a hole in NBC's fall schedule, they'll be picked-up. This is what CBS has been doing with "Rules of Engagement" for 4 years.

I've been watching "Community" since the first episode and I understand the characters. The problem is it must be very difficult for new viewers to get into. It'll be hard for the ratings to improve (although it will probably be one of those shows that does well in syndication if they can come up with enough episodes).

[Rhah]

Hah, song Troy was humming in last episode is real:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XXvuUp-KY5g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Enabler]

:lol::lol::lol: I love when Troy hums that song. He hummed it in the halloween episode too I think.

Last weeks foosball episode was really good. I think I got my first Shirley laugh.

[pennington]

It premiered last night after it's long hiatus. Looks like we'll be seeing more Shirley; she's going into business with Pierce and she married Theo from The Cosby Show.

Since NBC is not doing well in the ratings, there is still a chance it will be renewed. At least it hasn't been officially cancelled yet.

[StanUpshaw]

Not a great episode by any stretch of the imagination, but I guess I'm glad it's back.

[sailor]

I thought it was very good.

just glad it is back .. far better than whitney or 30 rock

I thought it was very good.

I see. Very interesting, sailor.

Very interesting indeed.

[sailor]

I see. Very interesting, sailor.

You too. And stuff.

[Fallon]

Ratings up 38% than Community usually does, highest non sports 8pm NBC show since January 2011 and it beat idol in the 18-34 demo.

At least that's what I read today.

[StanUpshaw]

America demands Annie's Boobs!

[pennington]

Is anybody still watching this? The show seems so gray and depressed this season.

[fezident]

It took me only two seasons to go from LOVING that show to completely not caring about it.

It was unique. But it was gimmicky. I punched out.


Having said that, in 6 years, when they release a crowd-funded movie.... I suppose I'll watch it.

[CYYYFYYY]

I still like it a lot. I figure this will be the last season sadly enough. I felt there were 3 real good episodes this season. The quarter in the butt, Volcano, and Dungeons and Dragons
