Does Anyone Else Watch COMMUNITY?

[clever name]

I'm starting to sound redundant but that episode was brilliant..just brilliant.

And then Donald Glover, who used to write 30 Rock, on the live episode as a young Tracy..too funny.

[The Josh]

Very interesting article about Starburns.

[Jordan Catalano]

And the L&O Medical Examiner as the biology teacher? C'mon! LOL!!

[The Josh]

Garrett singing Ave Maria might be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[Jordan Catalano]

And that was Garrett, with....Ave Maria?

It's not ideal, but a renewal is a renewal

I'll get excited when it's official.

Talk to me about crazy town banana pants.

[Jordan Catalano]

But really, that was amazing. And that plotline should have been the series finale.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

This is the best day ever. And that includes me meeting Vanessa Williams earlier today.

I'm thrilled it's coming back, shortened season or not. And this episode tonight was breathtaking.

Finally watched this episode:

So there was a noir/gangster-themed paintball tournament that did not get its own episode? LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

I do hope we see Dean in a Patty Hearst, Stockholm Syndrome-realness costume.

The bait and switch mental ward theory was amazing and I wouldn't be surprised if that was responding to fan theories on the internet. Garrett as a psychiatrist there, specifically his voice, was genius.

[MotorTink]

I loved the whole reenactments in the asylum. perfect!

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

That whole exchange about how long people go to community colleges was great.

"People are ALWAYS saying that!"

I think this season has been extraordinary. I can't call it yet, but I'm feeling like it even surpasses season 2.

[strummergirl]

I forgot to include my favorite exchange in the episode:

"Fries!"

"GET OUT!!!!!"

I feel like this season it is more unabashedly crazy and its true self this season. Last year you still had some attempts to make it more TV sitcom trope-y and a feel of restraint even in the homage episodes. Plus I feel characters, specifically Chang, Britta, and Dean, have never been used better than this season.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Well, last year they were more focused on film genere parodies and this entire season (especially if you rewatch and put them in the order they were originally supposed to air) is all about sending up tv tropes.

[clever name]

ok, I know I keep saying this but I have to say it again..this episode was just brilliant.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Geography of Global Conflict
Remedial Chaos Theory
Documentary Filmmaking: Redux
Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism
Regional Holiday Music
Pillows And Blankets
Basic Lupine Urology
Curriculum Unavailable


I would say those have been the top episodes of this season.

[eatlasagna]

loved the line about Mork and Mindy crazy and not current Robin Williams Crazy! haha

[strummergirl]

Remedial Chaos Theory, Curriculum Unavailable, Documentary Filmmaking: Redux, and Regional Holiday Music are definitely in the top 5. Cannot wait for the finale. Sounds like gangbusters.

New NBC Schedule - Community is moving to Friday

[frogs_fan85]

Could they have a worse lead-in? Maybe with the move ratings expectations will be lower and season 5 becomes more of a possibility? Fingers crossed.

[eatlasagna]

i like Grimm! haha

oooh i can't wait to hear all of Joel McHale's jokes on The Soup now!

[clever name]

Not happy about Dan Harmon stepping down, but I can deal with or without Pierce.

[strummergirl]

If Harmon steps down, nobody except Megan Ganz should replace him. She has written some of the best episodes in the show's history and she seems to be waiting in the wings that I'll be shocked if she didn't replace him. I do hope he does stay unless he has another show on the horizon that has pulled him away from this show, not unlike a lot of TV show-runners.

I can see the decision and over-lap with the Grimm fan base but not Whitney who doesn't really fit any of the established shows. My mother contends that the show got better but then I read about the show having a coming-out episode with guy who played Jonathan from 30 Rock and my eyes rolled out of my head.

[Plum]

First of all, no one said Harmon is stepping down; he just hasn't signed a new contract yet. Second, there's no way Megan Ganz is going to run a show at this stage in her career - she's only been a staff writer for a few years.

Third...Community can do worse than Fridays, IMO. Sure, Whitney is an abomination, but won't it be nice not to compete against Big Bang Theory and Idol for once? Anyway, if this turns out to be the last season and Harmon (because I do think he'll be running the show) has sufficient advance notice, he can end it with graduation and everything coming full circle, and I think I'd be pretty satisfied with that.
