Community, the tv show

how could any fan of cop shows want to watch latter-day svu reruns more than prime suspect?? : (

anyway i see that prime suspect is opposite the mentalist, that must be tough.

The Mentalist does much better, but it's been on a pretty steady decline the last two years. People just don't trust NBC to do anything other than Sunday Night Football, I guess.

nbc is in such dire straights that it's really, really hard to predict what's going to be picked up and what won't. instead of having this discussion between episodes every week, just enjoy the episodes as they come.

nude pool ep is peak community imo, i admire the concept episodes and enjoy them a lot, but nude pool was the episode where i thought "goddamn this show has it all figured out."

on the downside i tend to compare non-concept episodes to nude pool, and idk if they've had a non-concept episode that's reached that high point in a while.

Community did get picked up in the UK... on Viva. They showed the first season in double-bills on Tuesdays. They re-ran it once at 2am on weekday mornings. I dunno how the contract works, but I don't see any of the channels where it'd actually pick up a following taking a punt on it.

I don't see any of the channels where it'd actually pick up a following taking a punt on it.

I don't understand it either. It gets shown in Ireland too on some similarly obscure, U.S. centric station. I don't know anyone else who watches it who wasn't told about it by me. I don't get how these deals are done either. Surely it would be huge on E4? Maybe they'll buy it when it gets cancelled.

I did laugh at the "....This is NPR" tag in Shirley's story.

This ep was good, but I think I dug the multi-verse one a bit more.

When are they going to give John Goodman something to do?

Kinda wondering if Inspector Spacetime will be involved at some point where Evil Troy & Evil Abed invade into regular T&A's universe.

also, new community merch!

good stuff

Abed humming the soul tune on loop was one of the best things ever

This being the internet, somebody found exactly what song that was:

They use it on the weather channel.

"chevy chase as judge reinhold" is a weird combination of words

dying now that i recognize that tune

Troy gesturing along with Abed's humming was A fucking +.

best troy & abed joke of the season so far

"The Abed of racism."

"First Annual....Gay Bash.."

If this is how they're going to utilize John Goodman, I approve!

"'sup, girl."

"Pew!"

Spaceman paninis with Black Hitler.

great, great episode

i'm gonna stick my neck out and say i don't really think inspector spacetime is that funny or needs to be brought back over and over

They need to do something with it because as is, you're right, it's not a great running gag.

love the a/c stuff.

is it me or was britta at a funeral TOTALLY FUCKING BEAUTIFUL OMG IM IN LOVE rite?

lol the priest "you're the worst"

britta is ethereally gorgeous this season, but yeah the funeral scene in particular was amazing.

If Harmon isn't working up to an episode at an Inspector Spacetime convention then he's the most wasteful cunt in the world.

I think that Inspector Spacetime has been brought back because of the frankly cray cray fandom that has already sprung up around it. Just go on tumblr if you don't believe me.

^^^

This. I can understand, given the ratings and Harmon's overal approach, why he tosses bones to the rabid fans like this, but the Inspector Spacetime thing seems way too forced and overdone. I was actually fine with it until last night's (otherwise incredible) episode when Troy and Abed just randomly called each other Constable and Inspector.

How quick is the turnaround on these things? Have they seriously had time to rewrite and refilm bits based on fan reaction already?

Judging by the interviews upthread, Elementary Chaos Theory and the Halloween one had already been filmed when the series started. Calling bullshit on this theory.

So do you have filming dates for last nights? Like I said, last night was the first time it actually felt kind of forced. All I'm saying is that it needs to lead to a big payoff.

Why?

Because its getting run into the ground and I'd be a lot more okay with it if there's a payoff.

I don't really see it as being run into the ground any more than any other facet of Troy and Abed's relationship; look at it like it's their handshake.

It isn't really getting run into the ground. I haven't seen the most recent episode but they've barely mentioned it up to now, only hinted at it.

Of all of the batshit criticisms thrown around itt, its kind of funny that you guys are butthurt about me thinking the Inspector Spacetime thing is a little overdone.

you go from 0 to 11 faster than any other poster on this site

I've known goofy dudes like Troy and Abed my whole life who would run shit into the ground with no hope of a payoff in sight.

Because I said I find it funny? You're an asshole.

I expressed a realtively minor criticism of the show and you two were immediately, YOU ARE WRONG. Like, idgi.

I just don't understand how the fuck saying:

Of all of the batshit criticisms thrown around itt, its kind of funny that you guys are butthurt about me thinking the Inspector Spacetime thing is a little overdone.

means I'm at 11.

But I know DJP loves to provoke me, so grain of salt and all.
