Community, the tv show

i like and watch big bang, but community's on a whole different level imo. big bang's plotlines tend toward the dumb/cliche and the characters have felt unappealingly static this season.

i thought tonight's community was a stellar return. "i will shatter your world.

nah sorry i think community is funnier i just felt the need to stand up for tbbt

I realized as I was watching Donald Glover's hilarious scene with Malcolm Jamal Warner: Glover was one year old when The Cosby Show debuted. I dunno, that just kind of blew my mind.

sometimes I wish tv was just Community & Parks/Rec & 30 Rock

cougar town is p. feh

Cougar Town is like a progression of Scrubs. Funny, but less...zany?

I only saw the beginning of last night's (Community) ep, but Brown Jamie Lee Curtis caught me by surprise and I haven't laughed that hard at a tv show in a long time.

just saw this on twitter: "Community hit a season high in 18-49 demo vs. Idol/Big Bang Theory"

Who is this kettle-corn popping phantom?

Better news: Outsourced hit a season low.

Troy & Abed In The Morning particularly awesome this week!

How great would it be if Community became the new Friends and went on for like a dozens seasons!! They'll have to figure out why these characters would stick around a Community College for 12 years of course.

they all become teachers at a community college.

love that John Oliver is getting more of a role

also: his cosby sweater!

Great episode. Kind of a cheap laugh but Chang's entrance totally destroyed me.

he's just a master of physical comedy, nothing cheap about that imo

just saw this on twitter: "Community hit a season high in 18-49 demo vs. Idol/Big Bang Theory"

glad to hear this. am loving this show so much and hope it never ends/falls off.

fyi, it was a season high for community. they are still doing well below idol/bbt numbers

yeah it was a little ambiguously phrased but i don't think anyone who has any concept of how highly rated BBT or Idol is interpreted it that way.

i spell 'kettlecorn' with a q-u

skot is usually my MOR trad sitcom bro, disappointed to hear he doesn't share my mild affection for Better With You or Mike & Molly

i would REALLY like to know what redeeming qualities you find in Better With You! it's in the dictionary under the word generic, etc, etc. i mean, i don't even think its worth trashing cuz its so negligable. want it gone already.

the women on Mike & Molly are fine and i enjoy my hero Swoosie as much as ever, but i kinda can't stand big dude OR his cop sidekick. they really really really turn me off/rub me the wrong way/etc. and they just ain't funny. not even James Burrows can turn this sow's ear into, um, gold cloth or whatever. and he is a genius! he helped make the MTM show, the Bob Newhart Show, Rhoda, Laverne & Shirley, Taxi, The Associates, Cheers, Wings, Frasier, Friends, Newsradio, 3rd Rock From The Sun, Will & Grace, Two And A Half Men, and The Big Bang Theory the fine shows that they are and were. But he also worked on Dear John, Dharma & Greg, Caroline In The City, The Class, Back To You, and Gary Unmarried, and no amount of genius could make those stinkers float. and i put Mike & Molly in the same stinky boat.

"negligible" even

Better With You - for people who think Modern Family is just too darn edgy! It's OK.

So many boobs in this show.

Watching the Mafia Movie one. This has to be the best episode of "Community" ever.

Found an even older "streets ahead" use on ILM (the Rehabilitaing The Adverts thread).

Kind of agree and disagree! To me they're mid-way between the two categories you've defined. Buzzcocks and Wire are streets ahead of The Adverts and Penetration, who in turn would be well ahead of say, Slaughter and the Dogs or Eater. That's not to say that the one 'fun at the time single' some of those 3rd div drongos released isn't still fantastic fun once in a while.

"I love you, drugs!"

dildopolis

Not necessarily bad, but a little too obv. sitcommy, this one? You could see the premises be set up and labored over.

Yeah, it was a little broad, but I thought it still brought the lols.

Omfg Chang slayed this tonight.

8=>

jeff and britta in cat costumes and sunglasses with heads tilted identically = amazing.

also the "period fairy" which opens up new dimensions of wau in annie's backstory.

thought that was a rather weak episode minus changs love for Johnny Gill.

The Johnny Gill was a v. nice touch.

woah

jeff, the liar!!!!!

annie, the day-planner, herself a recovering headcase!

troy, the obtuse!!

HOLY SHIT OMG this EPISODE

Yeah this is streets ahead thus far.

i cannot stop laughing

the people who wrote this episode have played d&d before. i'd say a lot.

Pierce is so evil!

Aww, Fat Neil. :(

one of the best community episodes ever

Yeah, that was great. I assume it would've been even better for people who know the ins & outs of Dungeons & Dragons.
