It's creative and engaging, I was wondering how they'd pick up season two considering last season's finale was kinda O_o. However, I hope they don't drag it on because I remember reading a review for it and the only thing that struck my mind was that the critic was adamant about the fact that community college as a theme can only churn out so many ideas, it'll be up to the characters to make the show go on and be interesting. | ||

I'd have to say that I really enjoyed the season premiere. Started out a little slow but ended up great. This and Modern Family are the 2 best comedies on tv right now (at least in the US) QFT Put Troy, Abed and Phil in a room. | ||

Much like The Office, I like the less prominent characters more than the "leads." Jeff and Britta are boring, but Troy, Abed, and Annie are all hilarious when they interact. Great show, but I hope they don't get too involved in the love triangle stuff and stay fresh and fun. http://www.avclub.com/articles/community-creator-dan-harmon,45508/ Pretty awesome interview with Dan Harmon.

+ Show Spoiler + What happened with drugs was so brilliant, especially relating it with the fact that Annie had a previous problem and had to go to rehab. This is definitely my favorite show on TV right now. The writing is just so clever. + Show Spoiler + I missed the first few minutes so I'm not sure if Rich was in this episode or not. I'm really interested in how last week's episode's ending would play out. Last week's ending was so hilarious. But I'm getting the feeling the writers are reviving Britta and Jeff or the love triangle after what happened this episode. I'm rooting for Annie, though. | ||

It's nice that the show is loaded with that crap as a show that caters to fans of tv and movies | ||

I can see them pushing out 2 seasons easily without address time has moved on issue. Well Community isn't ignoring time though. It was already part of the plot for 2nd season that Jeff was reluctant to take Anthropology because it could interfere with him graduating in the shortest amount of time possible. They've also graduated classes so even if their looks haven't changed it will be odd to be a 4yr college student at 2yr college when we know what classes they've taken. Even if they fail Anthropology at most it should just be another semester or half a season. Though another possibility for how a third season is possible is that everyone just takes classes at Greendale even though they don't need to as community college classes can still be helpful once you graduate. Annie could take some because their are limits on how many classes she can take in her new college and some people take PE classes because they're a cheap gym membership. However they would have no reason to stay as study group and their reasons to hang out would be purely social (although it pretty much is already). Anyways I don't see any good explanations for how a third+ season could happen, but I'll be glad as long as it does. | ||

This isn't so much of a problem of ratings but plot as most students only take community college for two years. Either everyone fails or there is some dues ex machina event where the schools or Dean messes up and everyone has to take another year. Sure some of them could mess up and have not taken enough classes, but Annie should be able to plan an appropriate course load. One of the recurring jokes is Dean Pelton trying to make Greendale more like a traditional university. For example, Greendale has sports/debate teams and big social events like the transfer dance. So maybe they also have a four year curriculum. Edit: Some community colleges do seem to make the transition to offering bachelor's degrees. Example: St. Petersburg College | ||

( )And GOD, i love it. While the first season had been okay i guess, season two is sooooo fkn awesome i cant even explain. That xmas-episode or the d&d-episode were sooooo good... Chevy Chase and Ken Yeong are simply awesome, Abed as a concept character is so full of win, and while f.e. Chuck completely carried my interest through the chuck/sarah-relationship-thingey i LOVE that the jeff/britta-relationship hasnt been THAT much been touched upon (and god i hope it stays that way). Im damn pumped that it already has been picked up for a 3rd season. man i love that show <33 | ||

At the beginning i was like "oh well...clay...well...lets hope its just 2 minutes" to "uhm...please dont tell me its the whole episode :[ " to "actually, thats REALLY good" to "oh man Abed (((((((( "I guess no other show could have touched that topic (which in its sense was quite sad) and made such a lovely lovely episode surrounding it. D&D is simply named because its the latest "special" episode. But i agree..."modern warfare" was BALLER ! :D <333 | ||

Yeah, I'm glad to see sitcoms like this take off on a major network like NBC, rather than some of the formulaic, cookie cutter sitcoms that clutter the prime time airwaves (this does not include The Office or 30 Rock). Anyone that is a fan of Community should also check out Archer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and The League on FX, all of which are easily on par with Community in the realm of entertainment value and overall hilarity. | ||

My favorite character so far never even showed up on screen. But she was just so awesome. Who would be awesome enough to play 'The best of the best' as they're about to die? This show has impressed me so much with how thoughtful and well-read the writers are. Not to mention the amazing things you don't even notice until someone points them out to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tP0ubODOUQ | ||

(just to compare, Community has about twice less viewers per episode than NBC's "The Office") Community is so great, would be a shame if it got canned. All i would be left with would be modern family. Good comedies are so hard to come by. Especially now that 30 rock is exploring the new and unexplored world of comedies that think they don't have to be funny. | ||

Like i said, just watch the first 6 eps and if you still don't like it, it's not for you. Then again i have never met anyone that didn't like it past ep 6. | ||

Looking forward to season 3 and especially how the whole thing around pierce (<3) ends up playing out.. The only thing this episode i found disappointing is that while clearly following a star wars theme...they did not fit pierce into the role of darth vader. Wouldve been epic ((also the missing Chang made it slightly less enjoyable than part 1) Nevertheless, hell of a double-episode. --------------- now chuck, himym, parks and recreation and tbbt are also close to their respective season endings... gonna be a sad summer in regards to comedies ( | ||

Obvious stereotypes with characters walled-into them, like cool-jock-guy-one-million-selfconfidence, hot-honest-semi-nerd-girl... blablalblaba crap. Community's a comedy that spoofs and/or pays homage to popular film/television while also providing a sense of character growth and camaraderie. The "sterotypes" exist primarily to serve both and become much less important as each character gains perspective or grows up. And if one of the characters is overly stereotypical, you can bet that another member of the study group will call them out. That being said, the first episode is easily the worst with possible exception of the first episode of the second semester. Please watch a few more episodes (I would even suggest skipping the first episode) before you come to a conclusion. I think you will find that Greendale is an accepting place. | ||

The first few episodes of this show were actually pretty terrible. I stopped watching after the first two episodes, then decided to tune in again in mid-season and discovered it had suddenly become great. After going back and watching the episodes I missed, I'd say that they don't actually start getting good until episode 6 or so. | ||

Earlier in this thread some of you were talking about how the show has so many hidden things that you dont really see unless you're really paying attention (like Abed delivering the baby in the background). Has anyone noticed this? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qIQXx.png) I guess you couldn't have unless you watch Cougar Town (I don't even know what its about). But in the episode where Abed and Jeff have that conversation, Abed tells him how he was invited to the set of Cougar Town and he had a background role (after which he pooped his pants). APPARENTELY IT REALLY HAPPENED! Season 3 starts on my B-Day =D | ||

After the first few episodes Donald Glover easily became my favorite character. Troy "Butt Soup" Barns FTW!!! The Troy and Abed stuff at the end of episodes has me laughing for days. Glovers stand up is funny as shit as well and he also raps under the name Childish Gambino and he has some pretty legit stuff. Just my 2 cents on Community Oh yah, who else thinks Allison Brie (Annie) is extremely attractive? | ||

I stayed up until 3AM last night, I couldn't stop watching the next episode. I only did stop because I had to change disks, so I called it a night, but I definately would have kept going. Right now I'm up to the one where Pierce is in the hospital "bequething" things... God, I love that the season has as many episodes in at as it does, I want the feeling to go on forever (also, I'm tired of buying tv shows on DVD that only end up with, like, 13 episodes... wtf is that about?). Can't wait for p-ball round 2. Very pumped, best show of all time IMO. | ||

This episode really reminded me of the third season of Arrested Development with all the self-referential hints of the show's troubles... the song at the beginning about having to appeal more to the mainstream, the dean saying that this year is gonna be just like the last two but with less money, and the final line "this is gonna be our last year". Also, have to give a nod to Jeff and Annie singing the line "We're gonna sleep together" at the beginning. They do tease us. | ||

That's a bit much to fit into 20 minutes and still keep the show tight. I don't think it was one of the better episodes but I think it would be a mistake to write the series off for it. If you aren't watching the extra behind the scenes clips on NBC.com, you really should. I noticed some things in them that I missed in the broadcast. At the end of the dance number, the Human Being mascot is hanging from the ceiling and twirling. They also seemed to dial down how close Jeff and Annie get during the dance in the broadcast version compared to the clip online. Heh. Based on the responses above, that last line alone should be incentive for most of you to check the clips out... :p | ||

It's not comparable. 30 rock has no melancholy, it's just a joke factory. When 30 rock isn't funny, you have problems. Community doesn't work quite the same way. Community is more comparable to Party Down, which was also a very melancholic and dark show. I'm not saying, by the way, that any time that Community isn't funny it must be being melancholic. There have been bad Community jokes. I am merely stating that the lack of funny does not necessarily mean that it is a bad episode. This particular episode is an example where a lack of funny does not correlate. | ||

and uhh, well I remembered Donald from Derrick Comedy so I figured I'd give the show a try since his sketches were pretty good got through the 2 seasons and s3e1 in one sitting. damnnnnnnnnn. pretty glad that Chang is gonna stop being desperate to join the group and be a tiger again. also, this show needs more drunken Duncan. that guy is so underrated. | ||

All of the geek jokes are super mainstream. I remember in the second season reading comments on the AVClub from comic fans about how none of the characters on the show knew what they were talking about. They mention Superman/Batman/Hulk/Spiderman and one or two other famous superheroes, and are also not up to date on the latest in their stories. Basically, most of the people I have met that enjoy the show are not people I would categorize as nerdy. I would not say the same for fans of Community. | ||

i hope the show goes on but honestly it's viewer ship right now is pretty bad compared to a lot of other shows. i'm being a pessimist and saying that it ends at the 3rd season, but i would love to see them graduate. i really hope the series ends with graduation. i just love the show because of how clever it is and how satirical/witty it can be. if you think about it Abed is a perfect personification of the show. oh and gillian jacobs is the hottest chick ever when i saw the gq photo shoot i was like holy shit this is the best thing to happen to me since i found out TL | ||

In fact, here is a direct quote from part one of that interview: It wasn’t until we got picked up for a third season that there started to be discussions about how to freeze time and keep people going to a community college for 20 years, with the low-hanging fruit answer being, “Stop saying it’s Halloween every October, stop saying that Annie is now 21 and then 22, stop saying that it’s a four-year degree. Just drop it and be Welcome Back, Kotter.” Not a noble suggestion. Not one with the audience’s mind and heart in interest. Not thinking of people as individuals, just thinking of the audience as this big blob of money that watches or doesn’t watch. And I know in my heart of hearts, I would bet my life on it, that if you think the show would be disappointing if, in year five, they all simultaneously left Greendale, blew it up with dynamite and started working at a pet shop across the street… If you think that’s disappointing, you have no idea how disappointing it would be if, at the end of year four, Jeff looked at his degree and went, “Wait a minute! You spelled ‘degree’ wrong! Another four years!” You may think that’s gonna make the show last eight years, but it ain’t. | ||

And i do agree with him on late game shenanigans like Jeff looked at his degree and went, “Wait a minute! You spelled ‘degree’ wrong!

But you can quite easily run community each season as a semester giving it enough time for 2 3 more seasons which i do think their writers can do before coming up with random shit which you can often find in other shows past their 5th season. But i guess you could end it and end on top before any show of decline in quality but fans will always beg for more until disappointed. | ||

I agree that they should stop after 4 years, It will be sad to end the show, but not as sad as That 70's show's last few years. (Still 1979 guys? Oh Eric's leaving?) | ||

Yup and hell in a perfect world for dan it would end on season 4 not brought up for renewal and so ppl wont blame him or the writers for not playing it out longer but nbc and the show will reign supreme like arrested development or firefly.

Well there is doing the show while you can still come up with good ideas and then just doing it for a profit. I think once you replace a character it's become pretty obvious that the show ran it's course. I'm just saying 4 seasons is a good number but in general fans would love a 5 6th season 7+ is almost guaranteed to be mediocre with a few episodes that are really good, little spotlights of brilliance. It's just that fan crave more until it lets them down and i'm just thinking they can do more then 4 seasons without a drop in quality. | ||

Hopefully no cancellation because this is the only good comedy show out there. Big Bang is getting stale, I watch 2.5 men for Sheen, HIMYM is turning Barney Stinson much less awesome than before. | ||

Not enough people watch in general, but also not enough watch on their actual TVs. A lot of people watch online at places like Hulu (which isn't as important for ratings), or through extra-legal means which do not get counted at all. | ||

Agreed, episode 1 was really busy with a lot of story lines but I liked it, it was well done and last week's was a nice annie/jeff episode but like annie/jeff in a creepy way. I guess everything feels heavy handed, I hope they have a good one next week EDIT: Ah, I just realized the writer for this week's episode was the new one they hired so hopefully she won't be writing again lol... | ||

Todd's "none taken" was kinda funny but they abused the shit out of it before he flipped out. Chang detective was... insightful. "The kind of arms that had elbows..." entertaining for a while, hope they don't do it again. | ||

Interesting angle too, separating Jeff from the rest. i know right abed leaves it's like and it's like everyone else gets to do their own thing. of course we see how everyone's relationships get fucked up. in the troy scenario it's just random bad luck. i still dont' get why annie had a gun though. i'm gonna go watch the episode again though theres 6 scenarios and i can only remember like 4 of them after watching once. such a good episode. shows how everyone interacts within the group | ||

I am hopeful that they will have an episode or two involving shirley doing things that shirley wouldn't normally do in the near future (and would be very surprised if they didn't have one). As it is though, she is definitely the cookie cutter boring character that no one likes. | ||

Jeff is a problem, and he seems to be realizing it. It always surprises me how dark this show can be under it's bubbly exterior. It would seem like all of the other timelines are worse than the one where Jeff goes to get the Pizza, since they get into lots of fights and bad physical stuff happens, but in all of those they just seem like fights they have anyways. The one where Jeff leaves seems really tragic for him since he realizes how much of a negative effect he has on the group. I'm sad for Jeff. Also, no, Britta was amazing in this episode.

While I didn't like the way the ending was done it was interesting because it meant Jeff likely didn't fill the answers out randomly and instead just said he did to make the group feel better which was a better ploy to get the group to calm down then his crap story. | ||

Don't get me wrong, community has been doing unrealistic things since season one, but the show episodes don't feel as coherent as they used to. My favorite episode this season was the competing model UNs. Everything fit together well. Compare that to this weeks episode: evil air conditioning men vs the plumbers, Pierce's dad had an Ivory wig for some stupid reason, Jeff killed someone but no one cares, Pierce loving the gay community (which is so totally out of character). They're abandoned that amazing self referencing humor for oddball jokes. It feels like lazy writing, or more likely, the network trying to get capture a new audience to improve ratings. | ||

I think the weakest part of the whole show was few first episodes, but I'm glad I didn't stop watching it (or maybe I got to like them more). Annie is so cute and hot (wish they shew her..eyes..more), Pierce's character is really great, only Britta is kinda obnoxious :/ One thing I don't like is what they did to Chang, loved him as a crazy teacher much more. | ||

I like britta. but i agree with you about chang, he was awesome when he was in a position of power (or semi-power) but for a while he was just some crazy guy. I like that they gave him a powerful role again (sort of) by making him security guard. | ||

If they have to really shut down production, I guess they can really milk it by producing a movie, in which EVERYONE will watch. | ||

Apparently NBC didn't include this show in their Spring line-up, and only just this week, confirmed that it isn't cancelled. It has, however, taken a mid-season hiatus. When asked it their would be a fourth season, the NBC "Chief" would not confirm. There will be twelve more episodes to finish out season 3, but then that might be it for "Community". This might be an even worse tragedy than what happened to Arrested Development. Just like AD, this is a show with more personality than any one episode or time-slot. People need time to come to appreciate just how good it is. Most TV shows become successful by hooking the audience quickly. Community is better than them. This is a show people might like, but come to love, season by season. Let's just hope that NBC is wise enough to look past immediate short-term numbers, and plan for the long-game. | ||

Ionno with the introduction of the dream-a-torium(modeled after the holodeck in TNG) their antics are starting to appear less whimsical and more delusional, which would fit to some aspect of the dysfunctional of the group which is closer to working to an always sunny vibe where there is truly something wrong there, which i am fine with and it does seem intentional as with abeds uncontrollable christmas and horror fiction in seven spooky steps | ||

Community doesn't have a style that allows for such interruptions. They really fall out of tone with the rest of the episodes, especially because they have never used them like this in the last 3 seasons. I am more on the fence about the subway plug. On the one hand, it almost seems like a satire of product placement. On the other hand, it is still a lot of in-your-face product placement. Maybe they were putting on a satire, maybe they really just sold out so big that it has become comical. But I do wonder about one thing: There was a joke about the subway manager refusing to get up and get his own coat, wanting to have it handed to him. When they didn't hand him the coat, he decided to keep sitting there. I didn't get it. Was it just a really bad joke, or was there something more to it? I could write it off as a bad joke, but it just felt like there was something more to it. Anyone have any ideas on that? | ||

I feel the problem the show is running into is it's lack of sustained development. I thought the two parter was great because we had a splice in Abed and Troy from the first part that was further developed in the pillow episode. Unfortunately(to some) they didn't choose to prolong the conflict over two weeks and make it feel like a series that REALLY continues subsequent to every episode. Sure the jokes and some of the minor plot references/development is affected by past episodes, but overall the show has very little connection between every episode. I mean in the first season they were at least linked by Chang and his Spanish class, but now there seems to be no point. | ||

Personally, absolutely loved it. The concept was crazy and Troy's reaction to 'not getting' Inception because there were 'too many layers' seems appropriate to describe the layers of the end of the episode. And the further setting up of Britta and Tory should present some good little moments. | ||

Regardless, I feel they brought it back with this episode. One of my favorites in fact. I also loved the Omar Little refrences. No doubt. Also since Starburns just died due to some meth lab related accident, I'm expecting we'll be seeing Gus Fring's cameo sometime soon. Can't wait | ||

Regardless, I feel they brought it back with this episode. One of my favorites in fact. I also loved the Omar Little refrences. No doubt. Also since Starburns just died due to some meth lab related accident, I'm expecting we'll be seeing Gus Fring's cameo sometime soon. Can't wait Yeah it was the same guy who played Omar that played the biology teacher right? Great episode, loved it | ||

"Eight plus two, times five..." "Ten after eight." "I'm gifted in other ways!" "Holy crap, we are definitely dissecting pine cones next year!" Also holy shit Star Burns o.O ================== EDIT: Huh. Am I the only one who still watches this show? D: I wonder if them getting expelled is an attempt to somehow make the show last longer. Maybe this way it can somehow last longer than four seasons? Anywyas, that episode was so very short. :/ | ||

"I made a rule that the AC Repair school has to act like a normal school. I can do that because I'm their messiah." "Troy and Abed shooting LAVA" Loved everything about these three episodes. The middle one unfortunately would have been "good enough" on its own, but it was definitely overshined by the first and last episodes which were GREAT. Better than paintball. | ||

I agree that some episodes were good and fun to watch. The whole premise, however, has become quite surreal and less realistic (yes, I know its TV!)- a departure from the earlier works. The show was Greendale Centric which is now a second feature. Humor is less subtle and more overt. Neither of those things are bad in itself, but it is not the same program I loved in Season 1 and 2. The proof is in this thread. People are, imo, less enthusiastic than before. Don't get me wrong- I am glad that the show will be back. Redemption in Season 4, and hopefully two more seasons and a movie to come! | ||

Maybe the fans will get Dan back? Or maybe it just won't be that bad without him? Or something? Positive thoughts right? | ||

http://www.avclub.com/articles/nbc-pulls-community-from-schedule-because-it-wante,86442/ In its seemingly endless campaign to get fans of Community to hate it, NBC pulled the show from its original premiére date of Oct. 19 Monday, with just 11 days to go before its initial airing. According to the Twitter feed of Andy Bobrow, a producer on the show, Sony, the studio that produces the series, was readying screeners for critics when the word came down and was only just able to stop them from being sent out in time. | ||

From urbandictionary: In the United States, the /aks/ variant is a particular feature of African American Vernacular English (AAVE). It is possible that /aks/ variant was also the form most commonly used in the dialect of English to which the slaves were originally exposed, and has persisted in AAVE for the same sociolinguistic reasons that other features persist. The /aks/ variable in AAVE is unique in that it is the only example of such a phonetic shift, and thus is unique to the word "ask." The /aks/ variant is an example of the natural switching of sounds called metathesis. This occurs usually because in the speech sound patterns of that language or dialect that pronunciation may be easier. This is not a degenerate way of speaking. All languages and dialects are linguistically equal as they are all systematic and rule governed. More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American_Vernacular_English | ||

That's what Community is. Whacky situations with a group of lovable characters. Even if season 4 is good it will still have some episodes that are bad as the same can be said for seasons 1-3 with Dan Harmon. The big question to me is not about it's weirdness but how the heck the holiday episodes will make sense given it's "October 19th" premiere and how the Chevy Chase leaving will affect the series. | ||

The other story lines Britta/Troy and Shirley/Annie felt kind of weak but I there just wasn't enough time for them. If the show was longer or if they had just focused more on a few story lines it probably would have been a stronger story though. I'll also leave this here, an interview with Community writer Andy Bobrow about the premiere episode http://splitsider.com/2013/02/talking-to-community-writer-andy-bobrow-about-last-nights-season-premiere/ | ||

This latest one though i felt was the worst of the Halloween episodes yet, and was about at the level of the season 3 Christmas episode(the glee one). The amount of references to previous community dialogue is so over the top i felt that it started to get annoying more than anything, it just feels... forced. Oh god, now i'm doing it! | ||

Opening scene was just all around terrible, Nigel was terrible, Annie's thing was terrible, Chevy seems pretty much right that Pierce basically adds nothing anymore. Jeff has barely done anything and the complete of anything to do with Greendale so far is quite sad. | ||

Also, for the above posts concerning people never changing, I feel like Jeff's behavior has changed somewhat. He seems much more comfortable with the others "lame" behavior now. He went with Annie's whole play acting thing without too much concern and even showed affection for Annie while easily dismissing the age gap and then played with the Thoraxis thing to top it off. While the dialogue concerning Troy and Abed was all about boyfriends, I don't think this caused them to regress in any way. Abed showed that he has grown as he recognizes value in Troy's friendship but doesn't act as though he needs a caretaker. Troy manages to have his relationship with Britta be something separate from Abed in that they don't need to hide things from him or have Britta change to fit Abed, and their friendship isn't weakened by it. I don't feel the few episodes this season have hit the highs that community has in the past, but I also don't feel like they are some kind of low point for the show. | ||

I agree that last night's episode was good. Not season 1/2 good, but certainly comparable to an average season 3 episode, which I still very much enjoyed. I hated the first two this season (don't think I laughed more than once), and was seriously worried that the show was over without Harmon, but last night gave me some hope. I liked the Annie/Jeff stuff, it did a really good job showing how they've developed as characters, and how the "new" writing staff really gets the show. No, their growth as characters isn't organic and doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but that's sort of the point of the show. The whole idea is that Greendale is this absurd fantasy world (not even making passing references to where it is geographically is not an accident) where nothing really quite makes complete sense, and it draws the people who go there into its strangeness. Everyone is turned into a caricature by Greendale, so when the naive and neurotic schoolgirl of season 1 turns into the love-confused quirky womanchild of season 4, it's not that they're riding a tired cliche, it's that they're making fun of it. I do agree with the dude two posts above me that the Troy/Brita thing is stupid, though. It just doesn't make any sense for them to be together. Nothing in their past (besides that dance episode) has indicated that they'd be even remotely close. Troy and Annie, sure, there's an established history there. Jeff and Brita or Jeff and Annie? Makes total sense. I can't think of any conceivable reason besides that one episode where they both secretly like dancing that they would be together. There's no common ground between them besides the group, and there was no indication at all that they were even any more close than the other group members before this season. I think they just wanted a couple so that they could write storylines about a couple, but didn't want to pair off Jeff or Annie because the tension between them is a goldmine. Troy and Brita were all that's left, so they just tossed them together. It's lazy. | ||

Troy and Abed is kinda like Turk and JD. For most of the seasons, Turk and JD (and JD) had that bromance thing going but it was pretty normal. Like, I'd just think, yeah they are best friends with history together. And then Scrubs just blew it out of proportion in s6+ and it was just too much. Same thing with T&A. It's nice they riff together but they are together all the time now. Britta, Shirley and Pierce are just oddballs that add little unless the episode is about them. While I'll still watch Community, it's just not as funny. Season 1 was pretty hilarious and although I understand it's not a show that has to be funny every episode, the lastest episode (as well as the previous two) are just forgetful and I see no point in watching them again. | ||

Because it's easy humor while Community is pretty nerdy and specific. I keep hearing this explanation but its still hard for me to believe. Aren't tv ratings just extrapolations based on a very small sample base? If people are disappointed that the writing has fallen off on community (it has), then the average community viewer would probably commit suicide if they are forced to watch more than 2 episodes of 2.5 men back to back. The writing is just so ridiculously bad I find it really hard that so many people reguarly watch it. | ||

The writing is just so ridiculously bad I find it really hard that so many people reguarly watch it. Unless they've changed the calculation, the Neilson ratings are extrapolated from a fairly small sample size of "typical" families whose viewing habits are tracked through boxes attached to their television. It does not accurately reflect things like internet viewing or recording devices. It's a fairly stupid, outdated system that is riddled with flaws given advancing technology. That's not even factoring in the internal bias that exists since families with a Neilson box KNOW it and will thus adjust their normal viewing habits. | ||

Same reason Maroon 5 is more popular than Shoenberg or Davis or COD is more popular than sc2. People in the aggregate like bad stuff. I guess the show is still interesting just seeing the various misadventures of characters I've become so emotionally invested in, but its not funny. I'm still going to watch the show solely because of this even though its not as entertaining as before. I don't think I really laughed at anything this season except Dean Pelton's dancing with Jeff. The episode in season 2 where Pierce gives his friends "gifts" from his "deathbed" had me in a crippling fit of hilarity. | ||

Community can still be streets ahead! Just in a different way *two beautiful season and one or two good extra episodes. Lets be honest here the third season was crap compared to the first two. | ||

I can't imagine Shirley being ok with having a hole in her wall for a year, although I guess she could makeshift fix it and use it as door. Still it would be hard for her to fit through, but it could be possible. I liked how Troy and Annie initially wanted to come to Shirley's dinner only to realize her family dinner was just as bad as theirs. I would have liked them to more conclusively help Shirley, but it was still a warm episode overall more than a plain laughs episode even though it did have funny moments. Also I did not catch that the Dean was using Jeff's season 1 Halloween costume hence the Dean cutting him off before he could say anything. | ||

They went full fucking big bang theory, because if you're terrible at writing your series just steal from another terrible one that hasn't been funny for 5 seasons. I'm guessing by the end of this season everyone's gonna be in a relationship with either copies of themselves or people they have 0 chemistry with, and with Jeff's resolving his father issues everyone's gonna be happy forever. Why the fuck am I still watching this? | ||

This season has had a lot of range... the one before it with the "whale hunting" was really good and prob in the top 5 of the series overall, this one was absolute horse shit. The convention one was also really bad. I, too, immediately thought of Big Bang Theory watching it, only it was actually worse because it was not only humorless but it didn't have hot blondes with big tits. | ||

The quality is still nowhere near the previous seasons but let us not forget what Community has given us. Therefore I propose that we nominate our best 5 episodes of Community (with honorable mentions, of course). 1. Modern Warfare The first time we realized that Community could produce ART in 20 minutes. This is the perfect episode that can be appreciated in isolation (comedy, action etc), and whilst defining a special episode, never overindulges to maintain that special balance that creates a timeless piece of television. 2. Remedial Chaos Theory Characterization and diversity. It's not about a single punch line. It's not about a single event. It represents the development of characters over the past two seasons in a pseudo-complex reality, culminated and transposed on the mundane. 3. Co-operative Calligraphy A bottle episode with our favorite characters. We know that they are friends but clearly they are so much more. They are a family (community). 4. Epidemiology I watched this episode and thought 'Cool!'. How it was integrated seamlessly into the (season) story I'll never know. 5. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons This was a difficult choice. But to integrate and tackle such a complex story matter without the use of special effects or 'nerdy' humor (the kind of humor that is stereotyped), deserves to be appropriately commended. HONORABLE MENTIONS, in order: Introduction to Statistics (the first great episode) Investigative Journalism (so good on so many levels) Contemporary American Poultry (A great Abed episode done well c.f. Critical Film Studies) Back Rocket Science (Another great spoof without being overdone) Intermediate Documentary Making (An amazing episode preceded by many good episodes and that may represent the high point of Community) A Fist Full of Paintball's (and its sequel) Basic Lupine Urology (another beautifully constructed spoof) Course Listing Unavailable (if nothing else, worthy of mention for asylum delusion) Digital Estate Planning (the last great episode) I fear that the first two (and to a lesser extent, the third) seasons are a once in a lifetime 'event' that will never be matched again. | ||

Documentary Filmmaking: Redux I like how it really gave focus to Dean Pelton and explored his bizarre neuroses and made a few good/subtle pansexual jokes as well. Pelton is one of the funniest characters on the show and the most interestingly written; I like that a show can satirize political correctness, "tolerance", and "diversity" when taken to its logical extreme. 5. Economics of Marine Biology It was a smart commentary about the state of junior college in America and the types of students likely to attend. 6 would be Contemporary American Poultry. Buuuutttt anyway, last nights episode was another big disappointment. This show caught "big bang theory syndrome" pretty badly. | ||

Maybe Community resembled Big Bang in the Whale episode but this episode resembles BB just because it deals with relationships? It was a funny episode with the Dean, Jeff and Shirley/Annie they also managed to take the not real body switch seriously and somewhat believable given their characters. Troy didn't know how to break up with Britta and so he came up with the body switch gimmick as a way to avoid dealing with heavy emotions. | ||

Today we still have no precedent, and we still have no concrete evidence, but we may have slightly more reason to believe that some people might actually be talking about this, so we can talk about their talking. As first reported by a writer for Hollywookiee who was in attendance at the latest taping of Harmontown, Harmon told his podcast audience that “he has been asked to return to Community.” Almost immediately, the report continues, Harmon asked that this remark be edited out of the podcast, saying that it was just for the live audience to hear. Then, perhaps remembering that some people in his audience may have access to the Internet, he quickly changed his mind, reportedly saying, “Ahhh fuck it. I don’t care who knows!” Harmon also joked that “he would only return if they brought Chevy Chase back too,” an idea that caused him to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Ah life, the divine comedy, etc. Other source: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/dan-harmon-exploring-return-community-558958 | ||

Actually, Harmon's plan was to have them all graduate from community college. That's why he put the characters together in other areas, like Pierce and Shirley working together on their shop, or Abed, Troy and Annie living together, so they'd all have a reason to stay around each other even after graduating. So my ideal situation now is Harmon coming back and letting them all magically graduate in one season and move on with what he originally planned. One can dream.. | ||

There's some characters that are so problematic in terms of development (like Chang, Annie, Troy) that they can't be saved. | ||

http://www.buzzfeed.com/jordanzakarin/dan-harmon-says-hes-returning-to-community When Community returned to NBC for its fourth season, it did so without show creator Dan Harmon. Now he has confirmed that he's making a return to Greendale Community College. "Yes yes yes! I'm back I'm back I'm back," he wrote on Twitter, in response to a fan. "You can thank (Community actor) Joel McHale." The show recently completed its fourth season on May 9th, though it's struggled to maintain much of its original charm since Harmon's departure. However, last month NBC confirmed that it would be bringing Community back for a fifth season, and thankfully it appears that Harmon will be at the helm. | ||

I know Chevy Chase was on his way out and I would argue that it wasn't handled gracefully, but even beside that, I just don't think it had the charm of the first 3 seasons. Season 4 was a mess, that ranged from 'good enough' to bland to trying-to-hard, mostly because of a lack of leadership in the writing and editing room. Dan Harmon, the creator and showrunner, was fired after season 3 because of his difficult work habits, and the simple fact that Community was routinely blitzed by Two and Half Men or Big Bang Theory in the ratings. Season 4 was a last ditch effort to resurrect the show with it's bankable cast (partially as a result of how good Community was). So Sony brought in new show runners in the hope that they could improve the ratings. They couldn't improve them, but they didn't slide either. So basically, NBC renewed the show realizing that it will get the same ratings wherever they slot it, and because they're really, really desperate for programming now that 30 Rock and The Office are over. And Sony finally realized that Harmon himself has a cult following that improves the profile/marketablity/quality of the show. | ||

I do have to see there was a rather large difference on what Community was by the time it hit Season 4. I think it was the Season 4, Thanksgiving episode that I was able to put a finger on part of what it was for me at least. It seems to me in the beginning, Community was very much about subverting common tropes. They would set you up for a typical tv resolution and at the last second withhold the punch and say 'gotcha, thought we were going to end according to the trope didn't you?" Somewhere between season one and the Thanksgiving episode, I think Community started becoming the thing it used to parody. The Thanksgiving schtick was horrible relatives sent them retreating the basement, Abed make-believes Shawshank and then the twist is Shirly was using them as cannon fodder and haha racist Pearce sends the relatives back into the basement. But they really weren't parodying anything typical of tv shows and thanksgiving shows. Part of the thing is I don't recall the endings being quite so earnest in their resolutions and 'lessons.' Jeff and his enstranged dad for instance. Maybe I am remembering wrong because the shows are a bit of a blur now (need to rewatch the first seasons), but I don't recall Jeff's speech's being taken quiet so seriously. Maybe it's his character arc that he start meaning him, but using his speeches as his character development then makes Community as a show seem a little weird compared to the first where it so consistently and seriously stands by its morale-of-the-story. Mind you, Community has generally had the happy ending, but sum up seems far too serious now and makes the tone of the show in a weirdly Aesop Fables zone. Typical as tv show perhaps is how I might call it. It's got the sit-com hijinks and shenagins, but they have started playing them straight. This is Abed's so-called meta. The Season 4 dance for instance. He is supposedly being meta by knowingly creating a double-date scenario. But really he's just lampshading that he's playing it straight... especially once he does the speech at the end and it DOES work. There was almost the commentary on this sort of trope with the 'and now I would like to carry on this conversation in private,' but for the most part, I think they played the trope straight and were not really subverting it all. I think the closest to old Community feel in Season 4 was Basic Human Anatomy written by Jim Rash. That weird, quirky humour was more or less present in that particular episode. Season 4 was enjoyable, but it did feel enjoyable in a more typical sitcom sense. | ||

Shirley seems comparatively weaker as a character when she is doing this transitions from Badass to innocent little protestant like in the last episode. Pierce picked up some amount of slack in that respect. I think Shirley may just be a bit over tasked. | ||

The Dean made that episode, it was ok and had its moments but wasn't on par with the first one. I did like the little nerd off between David Cross and Abed though. | ||

I really liked the episode. I thought it was quintessentially Community without reinventing the wheel. It was funny without calling attention to itself; which is as impossible as it sounds, when you consider the show's self awareness, it's referential nature, and Abed's declaration within the first few minutes. Genius television IMO. Thomas, you should definitely check out Rick and Morty if you haven't already. Created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland- and when you've watched all the episodes in one sitting, go check out Dan Harmon's recent interview- it gives so much insight into both shows. | ||

Tonight will be the first part of the season finale. This season has been short, but a nice return to form with Harmon back. Seems like they missed out on exploring what it's like for Jeff to be a teacher only briefly touching on it during the start. I'm guessing we'll return to that a little bit in the finale episodes as well as the lawsuit. | ||

Season 1, 2 and 3 were the SMARTEST, more intricate, and well-written script I've ever saw coming to life but unfortunately, Harmon just couldn't get the show's spark back on with the departure of many key characters and honestly the cast's acting ability have been falling off a bit (apart from Jeff, Britta, and the principal). | ||

I always thought Community had too many main characters and lacked focus. Maybe instead of having seven members, they could have done with five or six. Particularly, Troy and Abed were too alike despite Troy's athleticism and forays into air conditioning repair, and Abed 'living' TV shows. Britta, Shirley, and Annie each felt a bit thin as characters as well. | ||

There is a glimmer of hope that there could be a sixth season of cult comedy series Community. I have learned that Hulu is in talks with Community producer Sony Pictures TV for more original installments of the show, which was cancelled by NBC earlier this month. Sources stress that conversations are preliminary and is unclear whether they would lead to a deal, but I hear there is will on both sides. That includes Community creator Dan Harmon, who confessed on his blog that he had warmed up to the possibility of continuing the show elsewhere, changing his stance from “eh” when Sony TV called him with the news of the series’ cancellation by NBC to “sure, let’s talk” two days later. Said Harmon, “I’m not going to be the guy that re-cancels cancelled Community.” http://www.deadline.com/2014/05/community-hulu-season-6-dan-harmon/ | ||

Gotta say, this may be the Jim Belushi of community seasons. Not that I expected better of Yahoo... I actually thought Troy would be back. What did Jeff say in the cafeteria? Something something drinkin in the men's room, Trent Reznor, Johnny Cash doing Trent Reznor. I'm assuming it's a reference to NIN - Hurt, but I didn't understand it. | ||

The writing was a little better too. I like that they went back to the old formula of taking a silly concept and use it to sort of illustrate a serious point. The execution could have been much better, that's why I'm giving it 3 meow meow beenz. But seriously, I'm very optimistic. It seems like many of the pieces that made Community great are still there. The whole thing doesn't work well together yet but there's definitely hope. | ||

If the finale episode wasn't enough you can watch this fan send off too. Btw a season 7 is possible, but less likely than even 6. If Yahoo does decide to order a seventh season of Community, it may face some hurdles. Stars Gillian Jacobs and Ken Jeong both have new shows coming up — Jacobs has Judd Apatow’s Love on Netflix, Jeong has Dr. Ken on ABC. http://www.slashfilm.com/yahoo-community-season-7/ | ||

Oddly enough, I really loved the very last episode, despite it being so meta it almost hurt. Oh, well. Nothing will ever beat the first three seasons, it seems. | ||

What did the original guys even do this season? Britta was still good though. | ||

Every joke seemed to end in some meta commentary about how they're a TV show in season 6, and that always seemed to be the justification for every crazy adventure they've been in. It kind of stops being funny eventually. It was just too absurd to be taken seriously, and Community has always been awesome because it was more than just a series of jokes. It had heart, too. Oddly enough, I really loved the very last episode, despite it being so meta it almost hurt. Oh, well. Nothing will ever beat the first three seasons, it seems. while i agree that nothing will approach the first three seasons the show did a pretty admirable job considering the creator was fired for the 4th season, two major cast members left in the 5th season, and the show ended up online for the final season. there were still some standout episodes in the final seasons and the finale (treating the last episode as a finale in case of some scrubs med school like comeback in season 7) was perfect. overall the show just felt like a friend or lover that you still love but are slowly drifting apart from or not totally crazy about anymore. the only other comedy i can tolerate at the moment is silicon valley and it's a completely different show. | ||
