Television Community (NBC)

Any other fans?

I like Britta and adore Jeff (Joel McHale is one hot looking guy ) and love Abed's meta references. It's such an entertaining and good show, shame about the low ratings, the Americans really cannot appreciate great comedy series.

I'm a fan of the show. I think the first season was better than the current one. The paintball episode was epic. I've got a bit of a thing for Annie.

Yeah, "Modern Weltfare" is genuinely the best episode I've EVER seen on a tv show. Pure genius.

As for the comparison first to second season, well it depends. Season 2 is trying to shed light to the background of the characters. I think it's fine, because if you neglect character development a sitcom will sooner or later become bland.

That said, I preferred Chang in season 1 (he's so much funnier as a teacher) and yeah, season 1 had my two favourite episodes, Contemporary American Poultry and Modern Welfare.

But I love the show, it's fun, it's not bland and it is always trying things out - makes for a nice change from crap like Two and a half Men.

I've got no problem with them building characters(as it is pretty damn important), I just feel the first season was funnier. Also, while I've always liked how 'meta' the show is, sometimes it can get stuck too far in its own 'metaness'. If that makes sense.

Christ.

If you're going to be a snob, make sure you have good tastes.

It's a mediocre show, let's not try and make out like it's immensely superior to Two and a Half Men. And it's a good thing that American audiences have started to see sense by not watching this sort of pap.

It is the funniest show on TV.

Not even close

Do you watch enough comedy shows to make such a judgment?

It is the funniest show on TV.

Its funny, buts it not even the funniest show on Thursday night on NBC

 

[holdsteady]

It's far better than 30 Rock and Parks.

It's only rival is Peep Show.

No it isn't

Thick of It
It's Always Sunny
Curb
Peep Show
Louie

It's probably better than current 30 Rock though.

 

[Hectic]

Great show, along with Parks & Recreation

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

Working my way through the first season, I love it.

 

[Heffo]

Found out about through Donald Glover, who raps as Childish Gambino, about 2 weeks ago. I subsequently went on to watch all of the current episodes in a week.

Really good programme and some of the characters are great, I love the Troy and Abed bromance. I agree the paintball episode was epic.

 

[Brophs]

The second season gets a bit silly in trying to be quirky.

 

[datura]

The 2nd season has been a bit of a disappointment so far.

 

[Lailiani]

This episode was just fine, but I don't like how pathetic Britta's become.

 

[GingerPrince11]

Troy and Abed in the morningggggg!

 

[United87]

I'm only about half way through season one, I think it's missing a certain something to make it great, the characters seems a bit hollow. That being said Park and rec got steadily better and hope for same with this show as the writing is intelligent and funny.

As feel good comedy goes I think it's a tier below Parks and Recreation and Modern family and a few tiers above The big bang theory,HIMYM and Two and a half men...so far.

Video: Community's Alison Brie and Gillian Jacobs's Lesbian Lingerie Shoot for GQ: Video: GQ

As funny as I find Community, I'm at least 50% there for Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie.

[United87]

Gillian Jacobs looks like a very hot burn victim.

 

[JezChan]

Quality show; deserves a lot more attention than it actually gets.

Great show, its too clever to be mainstream...

The second half of the first season is where the show find its footing.

 

[olesmyhero]

The last episode was brilliant. Best episode in a while.

 

[JezChan]

The first season, though starting a little slow, is definitely worth it since it pins down identities to all the characters and the way they work. Once that's down, the rest is history

 

[Brophs]

It's been pulled from the schedule for the moment, which is surely a precursor to being cancelled. Which is a shame as this season, while it hasn't been great, has shown signs of improving after a poor second season.

 

[Zen]

Poor second season? Almost every fan AND critic of the show says the second season is far superior to the first -_-

Thought the second season was really good. 5 or 6 poor episodes, 7 or 8 good episodes and then 4 or 5 great episodes. Not bad for me.

But it's shit that it's being cancelled.

And no more Annie

Strangely enough I form opinions based on watching the show and not on reading blogs or reviews. I didn't like it all that much, if others did, good luck to them.

Millions of people liked Transformers 3.....still doesn't change the fact it's a terrible film.

In this analogy is my opinion Transformers 3? What or who are the millions then?

 

[Zen]

Basically you not liking the second season don't mean it was poor....assuming you meant in comparison to the first, which it is clearly superior than in almost every way for a sitcom.

I don't even know I ended up here, I don't really like the show anyway. It's a pretty well written sitcom with great chemistry though and well it's a shame something like that gets cancelled when trash like Whitney and others manage to stay on air, the terrible ratings system smh. I sense the best network sitcom in Parks and Recs could be next :'(

 

[Cina]

The first season of P&R was rubbish though so that was always going to affect it.

Well I didn't think I'd have to write "IMO" after everything I post on here just in case people thought I was stating my opinion as some sort of incontrovertible fact. Which is why I don't agree it was 'clearly' better.

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

Second season had some really good episodes and some quite lame ones. I've been really enjoying this season though. What kind of universe would cancel Community but leave How I Met Your Mother/Two and a Half Men limping along forever?

 

[Big-Red]

Quite frankly the season can be as bad as it wants if it ends as strongly as Community did last season.

Last episode was good too....IMO. Pierce's pieces were unreal.

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

Apparantly all 22 episodes NBC ordered for this season will end up being shown eventually. No chance of a fourth season now though.
