Kind of disappointed we didn't get some kind of callback to "Learning!"

Seriously? No one itt is talking about the 4th season renewal yet? Only 13 episodes to start, but, hey...

loved every single second of the mental institution.ESPECIALLY (super deep voice) "Let's remove a pen and see what happens."would watch an entire episode of this.

The fact that community colleges are almost all two year institutions, and just dismissed it for the sake of... whatever = PRETTY AWESOME.

Yes, low-voiced professional Garrett was super awesome!

Incredible episode, best of the season so far I reckon.

i liked this one once the "twist" happened but it was weird how the first 2/3rds was basically a fake clips show again but not as funny/dense as the first time they did fake clips
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 11 May 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link
The first clip show ep is top five of all of them for me though. One thing I've missed about this season is the steady stream of batshit classes and odd professors so was happy to see that was still going on.
Also the Dean alerting them to the fire and Chang electrocuting his testicles were awesome. Kinda reminded me that Ken Jeong is really great at physical comedy and hasn't had much time to shine at it this year.

90 minutes of Community this Thursday!

wha? did they make a movie?!

Think they're just burning off the remainder of the episodes.
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Saturday, 12 May 2012 16:46 (eleven years ago) link
They were going to air the final two in an hour next week and have the two hour finale of Awake this week because it's the last day of Sweeps, but Community's ratings are much better than Awake's (which has just been cancelled) so they're just finishing them all this week.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Saturday, 12 May 2012 18:44 (eleven years ago) link
How sad must Awake's ratings be if Community gets better ratings?
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
NBC's drama problem seems a bit worse than their comedy problem. Couldn't believe they were bothering to "fix" Smash but apparently even if descending ratings it's still above anything that previously aired in that slot recently.
― da croupier, Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:06 (eleven years ago) link
You couldn't pay me to sit through another high-concept drama that uses the unsolved mysteries crutch after Lost shit the bed (although Fringe largely sidesteps those pitfalls with a degree of grace). Between that and the slew of clones that turfed out really quickly, I'm not surprised people are a little wary of that sort of thing.

(Re: Awake, obvs.)
Awake was getting less than 1.0 ratings. I don't think they were as bad as The Firm, but still. Thursdays at 10pm has been a dead zone for NBC for years.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:14 (eleven years ago) link
NBC must be hurtling towards some sort of event horizon for low ratings, I wonder how much longer they can carry on like this.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:17 (eleven years ago) link
re: thurs at 10, it's not actually been that long since ER ended, plus there was that lovely Leno Show window, but it's definitely been a sore spot since

the ratings-based color-coding makes this extra awesome
― da croupier, Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:23 (eleven years ago) link
Awake was like a case study in how to make a relatively original, well crafted show as unappealing as possible..."hey would you like to see a really serious-looking actor you've never heard of contemplate 2 alternate realities that both involve the death of a loved one, week after week after week? no? ok nevermind"
― some dude, Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:25 (eleven years ago) link
SUPER OTM re: color coding, it's like watching the blood drain from a body

'joey' looks to be the tipping point
― omar little, Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:28 (eleven years ago) link
imagine a time where NBC's problem was that a show was losing enough viewers from its lead-in to slip down to the top 20
― da croupier, Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:29 (eleven years ago) link
I was coming here to post that! Joey always seemed to me like a bad idea for a spin off, but then again I thought Two and a Half Men was a stupid idea for a sitcom. xp
The color coding on that chart was amazing.

really, who the fuck knows how Community would do if it was stuck between a modern Seinfeld and ER

it MIGHT actually be bigger than Veronica's Closet!

I felt the same way! I remember nbc having new show previews that made this look awesome.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:39 (eleven years ago) link
anyone else remember nbc's weird "hey let's start primetime half an hour earlier!" they used a bunch of crappy castoff shows, i think i remember one w/loni anderson and ernest borgnine?
― omar little, Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:41 (eleven years ago) link
this was mid-'80s i'm thinking.
loni anderson, ernest borgnine and krusty the klown
― da croupier, Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:42 (eleven years ago) link
aw i actually Awake pretty entertaining, though i don't really care about the main "mystery" being solved, it's just double the mind bending soap opera. that said i've never sat through an entire episode
― Nhex, Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:43 (eleven years ago) link
lol i was incorrect, it had jack elam:
Loni Anderson plays a rich girl who loves to play tennis, eat expensive meals, shop, & spend, spend, spend. If I remember correctly, her two comedic godfathers come to live with her in her plush mansion. All of the sudden having money is something they are NOT used to...& that is were the laughs come in.
― omar little, Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:45 (eleven years ago) link
lol nicole do you remember when the networks would have primetime specials where they would show clips from the new shows they're sure you'll love along w/ some old favorites?
