I just bought the Season 2 DVD of Community so I'm doing my little part to keep this show on the air.

Enormous DVD sales are what brought FAMILY GUY back to Fox, so this is good! I remember reading awhile back that sales of COMMUNITY Season 1 were bigger than expected for NBC!
Some EMMY love this year would also help tremendously!!

Did I detect a hint of jealousy at the end between Abed and Troy/Britta's hug?
But which one is Abed jealous of?
Abed and Troy. Troybed.
Deep down, Troy knows it too.
Threesome.

Doesn't he seem like the coolest person ever to hang out with?
I hear he got laid a lot.
I shoulda' gone to community college, too.

Up All Night is still finding its voice, but it's coming along.
Because of the comparably smaller main cast, I tend to think of it as less "sprawly" than Community, but in both cases I think the casting is good and the chemistry between the leads is a pleasure to watch.

Bah! Whitney sucks and Up All Night isn't on the same level. Community needs to exist!

So I just finished watching season 2 of this show and OhMyGod is it FUNNY!!! I ended up having to buy the first season too after my computer crashed and I lost all the episodes I'd downloaded and I am now going to lend them out to all my friends to get them hooked on this show too.
That paintball two-parter to end the season on was absolutley AMAZING! The first season's paintball episode was really great and then this one just took it to a whole new level. All the Western touches in the first part and then the Star Wars ones in the second had me in stitches. I totally second Cobie's shout out of Vicki's line about dancing on the table-top ("This is the only life I know") as being the line of the season. SO HILARIOUS!
I rewatched the entire first season straight after I'd finished it and I'm going to do it again with the second. There are so many great jokes and scenes that are just as funny the second time around.
All that said, there have been a few clunker episodes each season. I really hated that Psychology test storyline from the first season where Abed foiled Annie and Professor Duncan's test. I don't remember being a big fan of that Jeff pool-class episode either. This season had that Chang in jail episode and especially that Pulp Fiction/My Dinner with Andre episode that didn't work for me. So many of the others have been absolute gold though.
As for characters, Jeff and Annie are probably my favourites of the main bunch - but I love all the minor/side characters too, ESPECIALLY Dean Pelton! I don't think I have ever not found him funny in a scene.
Which brings me to my one big problem with the show -
Shirley. I don't think I have ever found her funny in a scene. She almost drags the whole show down for me. I have to fast-forward through almost every line she has when I rewatch first season episodes. I feel she became more likeable somehow in the second season but I still don't find anything about her, her storylines, or the actress playing her funny.
No show is perfect though so I can overlook that minor annoyance and appreciate the really top-notch creative/comedic brilliance that the rest of the show displays.
Wish season 3 would hurry up and finish over there so I can get that DVD too.
