No they haven't, I watched it the other day.

On a second viewing the seasons after 2 are fecking awful.

Completely forgot about the ham-fisted attempts to get new members in the group after Pierce and Troy left (or got fired). The less said about the "gas leak" season the better. The only saving grace is Dean Pelton.

Leans far too heavily on the meta angles and Abed becomes incredibly irritating.

On Netflix?

It's still on Amazon Prime's episode list, but it's not on Netflix (it should be ep 14 between Celebrity Pharmacology and Early 21st Century Romanticism)



I'd extend the good seasons as far as Season 3. Goes downhill quickly after that. Season 6 is pretty awful.

Weird show started great peaked really soon then got gradually worse until the last two seasons in particular were truly awful.

However have us Troy and Abed plus Annie's boobs

Started this on Netflix. Watched about 5 episodes already tonight and just laughing at this. Again, my time of humour.

I dont know why, but in episode 1 I just started cracking up at aspergers / ass burgers (burgers for the ass).
I also like that nearly every episode has a little bit with Troy and Abed (eg them making fun of people end of ep4 until Jeff says, I can hear you)

The depth in writing is fantastic. The hidden easter eggs in the show are just awesome fun when you read up on them. You miss so much stuff that happens in the background.

I always maintain once Donald Glover left the show died and i believe Dan Harmon admitted as such .

I would put it in my top five comedy shows but it will never top the likes of Parks and Recreation for me because it did die a slow death after Chevy and Glover left


Edit found it.

I watched a little of Parks and Rec but didn't get into it that much.

Superstore was imo better

Superstore is good in the way Brooklyn 99 is. You can dip in and out any episode in any order without missing anything and have an enjoyable 20 odd minutes

Some people saying the show dropped off in later seasons. I've found a significant drop off with season 2 to be honest. Season one had me in stitches nearly every episode. Haven't had many laughs half way into season 2.

I've loved season 1 so far
I did read an episode of this (like with scrubs) is no longer available due to blackface?

No they did 2 and one was banned with Chang dressed as a dark elf. People can argue but Shirley mentioned hate crime so it was clearly intended to look at such.

Absolutely love this show so far (season 1 still)
Its a nice dose of humour, and im enjoying the different aspects of the characters. Nobody really annoys me which is great.

Finally finished all 6 seasons after I stopped watching around mid-season 4 couple years ago. What a wonderful show, the ending left me completely empty, ended up re-watching it from season 1 immediately because I don't feel like watching anything else

Also I found out Netflix removed the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons episode, which is a shame, as it is probably one of my favorite episode, in any tv history, ever.

Won't be the same with Troy, Shirley and even as troublesome as he is, Pierce. Hopefully they can them on board. Troy, at least.

Can not wait. Been rewatching over last couple of weeks. Early seasons are obviously the high points, but I felt last season and some of season 5 was good too. I hope Frankie comes back as well.

you mean “without”? (after Chase‘s alleged comments, can’t see Pierce coming back)

Hoping it’s good but think they’ll struggle to recapture that early dynamic/surreal stories.
