Community, the tv show

the ken jeong bit was good

As I feared, the Chevy Chase character is turning out to be a little much. Either tone him down or sack him altogether. I like the rest of the cast and the show itself, though.

This show is one where I still haven't been able to form an opinion. I need to see some actual humor come out of the minor characters. as a drama the story arch is still pretty interesting... I mean the main character is cool and I can easily relate to community college type experiences and trying to get "the girl". but if the show doesn't step up soon I won't believe that any of the characters are really that funny.

I'm giving it another week or two.

Episode 1: Total horseshit.
Episode 2: Had moments.

Chevy Chase 2009 would be really, really great as the lead in "Sonofabitch: The Dick Cheney Story"

I laughed.

It's not firing on all cylinders, but I'm already fond of the characters and that makes up for the weaker stuff. Was John Oliver's character a one-off, or is he coming back?

I think he's part of the cast

show needs less chevy chase, more donald glover

this show was awesome, i don't know what you all are talking about

am i the only person who still really likes chevy chase? havent seen the 2nd ep but i thought he was great in the 1st.

im happy to see him get some decent work again.

parks & rec was way better last night. louis ck majik!

yeah but you like glee

reign on chevy, get rid of love interest. terrible actor.

reign IN chevy.

rein?

haha yes. now that i've had coffee and can see & type.

Reign in Chevys

from a lacerated sky

Is this class easy?
...
Do you like Dane Cook?
Yeah, he's awesome.
So far so good.

So, what John Oliver only around for the first episode?

Apparently. :(

Also, Shirley's real reason for going back to school was AWESOME.

what mordy already posted, plus "how 'bout I POUND you like a MAN... that didn't come out right"

"You, go host American Idol."

John Oliver is in at least 3 episodes, for those wondering.

I really liked episode 3! esp the guy from the christopher guest movies what's his name. show has potential.

yeah...not so great yet, but I'm forgiving. After a year Parks and Recreation is finally working, these last two episodes have been great, so I'll give Community a season + to prove itself.

is parks & rec watchable now?

this show is very funny!

uh, kinda sucks

P&R has been my favorite of the NBC Thursday night shows all 3 weeks of the season so far.

P&R is slowly getting better. I watching FlashForward and catching it on Hulu, but I feel like FF has more to prove (I'll stick with it for a month or two, at least) while Parks has improved a lot since Season 1 and seems to be getting into a groove. Community's all right, definitely good enough for me to watch while waiting for Sunny to come on.

Thursday is a pretty great night for TV...Office, Community, 30 Rock (starts in October?), Sunny, Project Runway; it's already taking me a few days to catch up.

p&r has been pretty great so far this season, really strong supporting cast

the best parts of this show thus far have been the scenes with aped and troy during the credits

p&r has been dece. aziz ansari and aubrey plaza and the dude with the tache especially.

rashida jones is attractive but maybe they should make her funny in some way?

not really feelin community so much.

I don't know what show you haters are watching. Community has been tops so far. Funnier than The Office this season, at the very least.

Oh, and for those who even know what I'm talking about, the Community creator was apparently also responsible for Heat Vision And Jack.

wait what ben stiller has returned to tv?

rashida jones ex bf is great in p&r too

yeah it's like a bizarro the office where roy is the funniest character on the show instead of just being this grunty clueless guy

I don't know what show you haters are watching.

its this show called Community.

Maybe it'll get better, but I haven't enjoyed the first few episodes much.

Funnier than The Office this season, at the very least.

Yes, but at this point that's not saying much. It does seem like it is getting funnier as it goes along though.

I'm curious: what's not to like? Like, specifically?

I also wonder if I like this more because I'm a Soup fan. But pretty much everyone in the show is good (including Chevy, who I often think is a humorless turd), the writing is funny. I can see this developing into something really good (the next 30 Rock?) if the premise is something they can work with and expand on.

Also, it's worth noting how solid it is straight out of the gate. I can't say that about most of my favorite sitcoms.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Soup.

But I don't yet LOVE or even like Community that much yet, though it has some moments.

But I also think the first few episodes of every sitcom are awkward and usually terrible.

Except for Arrested Development.

Watched the first few eps of this tonight. I'm sold.

This show got so brilliantly funny so fast I fear for its future. Tonight's ep FTW.

I am looking forward to watching my "legal download" of the most recent episode.

A few years ago, I prematurely called 30 Rock the logical successor of Arrested Development, and I haven't been particularly disappointed on that front. So:

PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SOLD YET! I BELIEVE THAT COMMUNITY IS THE LOGICAL SUCCESSOR OF 30 ROCK. SET YOUR VCRs.

luvin this.

'you're an 8, and that's a british 10'

I nearly choked from laughing when Troy was crawling out of the waiting/testing room like a paralyzed dog.
