It's a really good show. Ironically, the weakest parts of the show are the two "leads": Chevy Chase (who has aged into a Dick Cheney lookalike, surprisingly enough) and the guy from "the Soup."
There's no way to pre-order the fictional Blu-Ray edition of Season one of Community on that page. That page is there just in case NBC makes a Blu-Ray edition at some time. Dumbass.
I'm a couple of weeks behind on the DVR. We just watched the paintball ep tonight.
It was exceedingly funny but is the Talk Soup guy trying to turn into the next Joe Piscopo or what? Every episode lately seems to be another excuse for him to show us that 'roids are a hell of a drug.
The season finale was all about how awesome Joel McHale is and how every hot chick on campus wants to be with him. It ends with him kissing the big tittied brunette from Mad Men.
What really pissed me off about it was that this show could have still been good with Jeff and Britta together. The rest of the cast is good enough to carry the show without all the "will they won't they" stuff. This was nothing more than horrible end of the season twist crap in a show that doesn't need it.

Yeah, for a while, it looked like the writers understood that. Too bad they felt the need to go down the same path as Moonlighting, Cheers, Friends and about a million other cliched programs.
The Community panel at SDCC was really crowded, cause they brought the whole crew of the show, not just the actors. I was standing outside with like 30 other people waiting to be let in, when some dude and his entourage walked past the line and right into the room. Everyone was like "who's that douchebag?". Then we realized it was Starburns and his posse.
(I caught the second half of the panel. It was awesome. Abed and Spiderman sang the theme from Fievel.)
Meh. Now, only if they would simply focus on the show and stop trying to come up with "event" episodes (i.e. Edgar Wright, Betty, White, Cordry, the upcoming Claymation episode, the upcoming Apollo-13 episode, etc). This is what shows do when they are either terrified of their new fame, and are trying to find overt ways to improve what is already good enough, OR, The Suits step in and try to milk the show dry for all its marketing worth...
Yeah, this is the same thing that happens to pretty much any successful NBC Thursday night show that isn't "Seinfeld": as soon as it gets popular, the suits decide to make it an "event" program and start cramming it full of guest stars and/or doing gimmick episodes.
See, eg, "supersized Friends and/or the Office," the ten gazillion guest stars on "Will and Grace," the Quentin Tarantino directed episode of "ER," etc.
As the Greendale study group gathers in the library, they wonder whether they will see their old friend Pierce (Chevy Chase), who left the study group in a huff after last spring’s paintball game. Jeff (Joel McHale) quickly butts heads with their new biology teacher Professor Kane (Michael K. Williams, “The Wire,”) and is kicked out of class – leading to a crisis within the group about whether they will all stay together. Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) is feeling empowered after a summer at “Dean Camp” but finds a new nemesis in Vice Dean Laybourne (John Goodman), dean of the highly regarded Air Conditioning Repair Annex at Greendale. Gillian Jacobs, Alison Brie, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Pudi, Donald Glover and Ken Jeong also star.
NBC pulls Community for now, whitney is still on and they're putting a shitty show about that shitty bitch from E! on their schedule. Its like they're trying their hardest to suck.
Problem is I think the audience for Community is a smarter, more savy bunch. I bet a large amount of the Community audience may watch the show in was that the ratings do not track.
I agree. I also think that the NBC Thursday lineup is shittier than its ever been. They should be leading off with 30 Rock and then Community and follow them up with the office and the shittier version of the office.
I think a lot of people are watching it online just because of that. Its more convenient for me to watch all the comedies I watch in one sitting on Hulu instead of watching random half hours on different networks.
There's three shows that I watch every week that are the only ones on that night I watch. All on different networks. I usually save them to watch all at once because stopping what I'm doing for half an hour a night is silly. I watch these shows on Hulu. That should count just as much as watching in on live TV, if not more. I bet that online viewings on Hulu or networks websites are more accurate than the Nelson system.
TBS should try to get the show. They've been trying to brand themselves as a comedy channel and they have no problems with having NBC's sloppy seconds.
signed up for Hulu+'s week free trial to watch this. Just finished the first season, the paintball war was by far the best episode. Oh my fucking gob I laughed so hard. On to Season 2!
The season 2 paintball finale was epic. I thought it was gonna be a repeat of the hilarious season 1 paintball war but it was so much more than that. Chevy Chases villainistic role in the group cracks me up but it looks like they finished that plotline. Ken Jeong is hilarious as Ben Chang. I don't think there's a single person this show could go without.
Really mem!? you have to do that shit in here? Keep your guys' cat fights in the politics forum. I want to enjoy Allison Brie's boobs.
While I understand and empathize with you, Doog, I think you need to take this up with Rex for initiating this new tactic. He's spoiled threads that many others like so it is fair for him to get the same treatment, IMO. Luckily, neither Rex nor I have revived the Chuck thread recently.
Now, only if they would simply focus on the show and stop trying to come up with "event" episodes (i.e. Edgar Wright, Betty, White, Cordry, the upcoming Claymation episode, the upcoming Apollo-13 episode, etc).

I think it's hilarious. Serves The Pussy right to get it in threads he enjoys. Good job, MEM.
