Community, the tv show

I FORGOT WHAT I AM AGAIN!

"Be a microscope! No, that's a toilet!"

Good news everyone! Thanks to the recent crisis and the internet furore that followed, the people have once again showed their strength-in-numbers by pushing the ratings for last night's episode up 0.1! SUCK IT NBC

at least Whitney hit a season-low rating. small comforts.

Wow. That's another series high point.

yeah this ep was great

Jim Rash is just as good at a tortured soul role as he is a fussy, fey busybody. Love that guy!

Didn't realize until now that he was Fenton on That 70s Show. Seems obvious now.

And he co-wrote The Descendants!

Hm, just rewatched Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas. I still like it but it doesn't seem as amazing as I thought it was anymore, especially after the last few episodes. I wonder how much I was just impressed by the novelty at the time.

New Harold and Kumar totally borrowed the Claymation Christmas concept!

Ha, I guess there are many Claymation/stop-motion Christmas movies. It was just the first thing I thought of, maybe because they both involved a 'break with reality' of sorts.

Dan Harmon on the Indoor Kids podcast. Talks about Batman, evolutionary biology, and how the quantum mechanics episode was a lot like Bioware/Obsidian game.

YAY

^^^this fucking guy :D

xp me too! i don't know how these things work, but why wouldn't a cable station pick it up? copyright issues? it'd do better on hbo than bored to death, and that's not getting canceled anytime soon.

I only just got the two references, ha.

OMG, Science of Illusion

"it will definitely be back later this spring."

(jumping up and down)

Getting into this in a big way. But back later this spring just means the rest of this season, no? Have new episodes been ordered?

no word about a 4th season yet

According to "Troy and Abed" on Facebook, 12 episodes are set to air.

yeah they were ALWAYS shooting and planning to era the full order of Season 3, and it was always going to be probably returning in the spring, but people freaked out like it was going to get pushed to the summer or aired on Bravo or something because i guess they think Are You There, Chelsea? is going to be a ratings phenomenon. too early to say about it being back in the fall because it's too early to say that about most shows, including 30 Rock.

having seen all of season 1 now, I would have been on this show's bandwagon so much earlier had I seen "Social Psychology", "Interpretive Dance", "Physical Education" and "The Science of Illusion" when they aired

i guess we're a few months away from whiney sheepishy posting about which episodes he really likes

holy hell, from the Wikipedia entry on this season's Halloween ep:

At the start of the episode, Annie goes through Britta's playlist and finds the Beetlejuice soundtrack in it. A man in a Beetlejuice costume then passes behind Annie as she says the name aloud for the third time in the show's history ("Beetlejuice" was also mentioned in "Communication Studies" and "Cooperative Calligraphy").[4] In the film, when someone says "Beetlejuice" three times, the character Betelgeuse would suddenly enter the scene.[5]

that is an insane level of detail

well some site recently figured that out and put together a video of the 3 Beetlejuice scenes (it was either posted upthread or on the sandbox thread). but yeah wiki nerds, go fig.

and of course reading really dry joyless wiki explanations of gags instead of watching is a big source of fuel for whiney's vitriol

wiki whites

the Earth's atmosphere being 78% nitrogen is a big source of fuel for Whiney's vitriol!

when pierce accidentally calls his mom on his pocketphone in season 1, she says 'i saw your father's ghost again'...

Wow, Modern Warfare was really a thing of beauty, wasn't it?

DUN DUN

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SHOW

Community + Law & Order. really i can't think of anything better.

i hope detective munch has a cameo

Or Ice T gets an "on the down low" comment in.

damn that episode lol

wait is this on the air

not for a couple months

a tv dude on twitter was saying that nbc's "the firm" bombed so badly on its first airing that it's probably kaput, which means the thursday @ 10 hour will be open. bring back the thursday three-hour comedy bloc, nbc!!

also tomorrow we'll see how the chelsea/whitney comedy hour fares in the ratings

NBC is so dumb right now in general, I don't know why they thought The Firm would work as a series in 2012.

I literally cannot wait for the blanket fort civil war episode.

i half-watched The Firm and mostly just felt bad for Molly Parker

kinda hate that there's all this advance discussion & anticipation of the premises/concepts of upcoming episodes -- one of my favorite things about the first paintball episode or the My Dinner With Andre episode is that i had NO idea about them ahead of time, was a lot more exciting that way imo
