Community, the tv show

yes re pft

just caught up on last 2 eps. was that paul f. tompkins as the farscape/gay dude? the animation episode was awesome, i wonder what the budget is for something like that

Seriously, the way they're able to wrench cash out of NBC's cold, dead hands for a consistently low-rated series is kind of remarkable. I mean, "Layla" in the mob movie episode? Shit ain't cheap.

i dunno...i'm sure one-offs are more costly per episode than if that was what they did every week, but it's not like the stop motion shows on Adult Swim have huge budgets. and pop music licensing is something most network shows shell out cash for constantly.

got the s1 dvd for xmas, the out-takes are wonderful, esp troy & abed...

on 2nd viewing i really do love the bar episode

haha. i watched the two rerun episodes tonight too. they were both great. zombies + bar episodes.

I think they were positioned as opposite ends of the spectrum for any potential new viewers. Begin with the over-the-top crowd pleaser, close with the quiet character piece and watch how we pull both off with ease.

^^ agree that that's how they came off, but apparently they were going to show the conspiracy episode instead of the zombie one until the network remembered that the conspiracy one is full of people fake-shooting each other.

did they show rape episodes of all the cop shows that usually feature murders, too? or one of the occasional 'we handle child abductions too' episodes?

idk u would have to check with their showrunner on twitter.

finally, a direct line to air my grievances

malcolm jamal warner is playing shirley's husband!

saw Shirley on a Two And A Half Men rerun, first time i've seen her act in anything else

She's done a lot of commercials over the years.

GUYS GUYS GUYS

Brown Jamie Lee Curtis

i'm sirius fm

looooooool

nice sweater

my dad gave it to me

That was a little on the nose, but still hilarious.

TWIST

oh man, for a second there all the shipper bones in my body were crying in happiness

SPOILER FREE

I knew when Jeff was running in the rain that he was going where he was going, because going to that other person would be to cheesy/sentimental even for this show.

also, MEZZANINE?!!

so, perfect couples...

what's worse: a terrible single camera sitcom or a terrible multi-camera sitcom? i theorize that the best single camera sitcom is always better than the best multi-camera sitcom, but that even the worst multi-camera sitcom is more tolerable than a bad single camera sitcom.

re: Perfect Couples

I think I've grown to absolutely despise Olivia Munn.

is that the waitress from it's always sunny?

it is!!!

Yeah, I knew she was going to be in this (and the other brunette is the pregnant agent from Flash Forward).

This is the pilot, right? It's really trying too hard.

probably for the best. i feel like if there was a little less noise this would be even worse

so the one relationship has a tempestuous hate/sex relationship, the other the wife is a controlling shrew, and the third couple is the straight-man?

Interested to see how this does, because the shows we all hate seem to end up being rather popular with the unwashed masses.

i don't know about that. i hated Hank and they cancelled that. also there was that really terrible relationship show recently that i can't even remember the name of that was terrible and swiftly gone

Is "100 Questions" the worst show in recent history?

Honey Nut SeriO's

man this show is bad. how do some shows get everything so wrong?

not community...

they forgot to write joekz

i feel like a laugh track could help this show bc then i'd know which lines i'm supposed to laugh at

there's a couples show on abc inbetween the shows i like on wed. night and its bad like this. both shows have normal scary people as leads. like people from commercials.

"does your dead mom's window open or not?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

sitcoms made by normal unfunny people. they are so bad.

"Everbody Hurts"--NOOOOOOO!

wow, can they show that much nipple on network television?

so glad that jenna elfman show isn't on anymore. i felt compelled to watch it for some reason. just horrible. i can't watch the william shatner one either.

i must confess i often skip community to watch big bang theory. but i will see all the communities eventually. on one of those nights when they show like six in a row.

i'm shocked that you find bbt funnier than community, scott. have u seen the bbt w/out laugh track vid that was going around for a bit?

mike and molly is terrible too. poor swoosie kurtz. she deserves so much more in life.

i can't help it! i like both of them. big bang theory isn't as good lately. but i still like it.

no i didn't see show without laugh track.

they did basically this exact same joke (all the dressed people in the bedroom while one dude is naked) in friends with chandler in a bathtub
