Community

I am not one for hyperbole, especially when dealing with modern cinema and television, but this episode of "Community" was, by far, the season's zenith and the funniest single episode of a sitcom I've seen since Seinfeld. That damn thing was loaded from start to end.

I love this show so, so, so much.

 

I like this show - not sure I love it, but I did love that Mad Men line. Really great episode this past week. Hope they can keep it up.

As it stands, there will be more to watch as it was picked up for a second season:

The show has really been getting better as it has gone along; it's like the opposite version of The Office. At its start, it seemed ponderous, with the focus being the Brita and Jeff love angle, but I think they've gradually scaled back her character ever since the initial episodes.

Also, they keep finding reasons to put Alison Brie in super hot outfits, which is great. (Then again, everything Brie wears becomes super hot, so maybe it isn't intentional on their part.)

 

*Love* me some Alison Brie. Absolutely *love* her.

Also, Chevy Chase is actually pretty damn funny as a crazy old guy. Never thought I'd find him entertaining after my mom basically played Funny Farm on loop during my childhood...

 

What a great ep last night. Between this and the Goodfellas one, it doesn't get much better. Damn what a great show.

 

I thought last night's episode was pure genius. The show is finding its groove.

 

It was a fantastic episode, but I felt like it seemed sort of out of sequence, like it was meant to run earlier in the season and got pushed back. Nothing to back that up, just a feeling I got. An awesome 22 minutes either way.

 

Yeah, don't go with that feeling. I read an article where Dan Harmon talks about the ep, NBCs backing of it and promoting it for sweeps.

Guy at the AVClub calls it perhaps the best episode of TV this season.

p.s. I also loved Detlef Schrempf being on Parks & Rec

 

Tremendous, spot-on episode, and consistently one of the funniest shows on TV.

 

That was fantastic.

"Do you have enough room?"
"Yeah, you don't have to put your seat so far up."
"Yeah, I do."

 

"Jeff Winger... you son of a bitch. I thought you were dead."

"I was sleeping."

 

Thought this week's episode was very good, although I'm a little surprised at the over the top reactions. The meta stuff about the sexual tension at the beginning was funny, but the The cast seems very comfortable together which is rare for a show this new.
