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.

The Nielson Ratings system is a dinosaur. I'm sure it's hurting television more than helping it.

Also, in the era of multiple TV's per household, only one in each home counts.

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.

There's always Mad Men. Her and Christina Hendricks. Awesome.

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.
