Well, I've been working a crush on Joel McHale for years, and that was all before I knew how HOT be looked in undies! Freakin' sweet! The man can rock old-school gym shorts too.
Yes, this week's episode continued the upward trend for COMMUNITY on Thursdays/NBC. It's humble yet promising beginning has blossomed into full-frontal funnery you don't wanna miss. Please stop not watching it.
GOOD NEWS-- it has been confirmed by EW.COM that NBC's entire Thursday night comedy block has been renewed for next season, REJOICE!
So, what have you to say about White Abed? Or Leonard, the latest minor recurring character standout (alongside such luminaries as Star-Burns)?
Who is happy that Chevy Chase found this vehicle and is back at last?
Share your love of Britta, Annie, Shirley, Troy and the whole gang!

Community is awesome!!!
The Christmas episode alone should make anyone a fan of the series ...

Abed (really the character playing him) is genius. His Batman impression literally had my laughing my ass off.
Troy is also comic genius. The final bits with Abed (as I said in the other thread) are my favorite. I've seen the actor who plays Troy do some stand-up (not live, on TV) and its hilarious.
Annie is also awesome. She's on Mad Men where she's completely serious and very likeable. Here, she really shines. I loved the episode where her and Jeff had awkward romantic moments.
Britta is totally hot but they do a good job giving you reasons to find her annoying.
And of course, my favorite is the Asian Spanish teacher, who is hilarious in everything he's in. I don't know his real name but all I know is I want him to be in every show and every movie I ever watch hereafter.

Actually I think Abed is cute, quite cute in his way. Troy too. Tiny-nips Vaughn also. I love that they've made it ok to call out a guy's tiny nips. I mean, whoever would have thought this would be okay to do? Heehee!
Shirley is awesome, I love, adore, l'amour Annie and Britta both rocks and sucks and is generally outstanding in one extreme or other. Her character is NOT an easy one to pull off. The actress deserves an EMMY nod (along with Abed).
I really need to learn the REAL names of the folks who play these characters other than Joel and Chevy (who both ALSO deserve EMMY nods!!)
Plus the long list of 2nd tier characters (and we all know how I love 2nd tier characters) is ASTOUNDING.
The pool episode has easily been my favorite of a long run of favorite episodes.

"Getting rid o' Britta, I'm gettin' rid o' the B.(she's a G.D.B...)" Great, now that's going to be in my head all day long....
This is a great show! I love watching each episode a few times during the week, and not all funny shows bear repeat viewing. The show started off a bit too much with each episode about Jeff having to choose between being selfish or doing the right thing. (no surprise, he would eventually do the right thing) But now that they've dropped any pretense of a story, they're just letting loose with the funny - which might not be a good thing for every show (I'm talking to you "How I Met Your Mother") - but luckily, the writing is strong enough for it to work.
Star-burns is definitely the breakout star though...

I don't get to watch it as often as I like (due to usually working on Thursdays) but I enjoy it when I do!

Well tonight's ep wasn't super-hilarious but I did enjoy the Pierce/Jeff friendship/family message.
The whole Troy's Nana/Britta thing didn't work for me.
Star-Burns' kid HAS to be his real-life son!
And Kathryn McPhee looks nice as a blonde, though I do love my brown-haired girls...

I think the last two episodes were shown out of order ... Jeff said something about meeting the old man in the pool class's kid on Family Day last week ... and he was flirting with the hot chick in the pool class too before it was shown he got dumped ... sorry to be a continuity cop ... I just thought that was odd ...

Just watched Thursday's ep. I love that they now call Star-Burns that name to his face.
Nice moments for Jeff, Peirce and Shirley this week. It was fun.

OK I just watched this past Thursday's ep on the DVR, and I believe I can state quite frankly and without hyperbole that not only was it the best episode of COMMUNITY ever, it was also the best episode of ~ANY~ TV show ever.

OH YOU DO. For the episodes of Joel McHale in his undies if nothing else...
Even without that I love this show!

I thought they wouldn't be able to top the "Goodfellas" chicken fingers episode but this week's episode was FRIGGIN' BRILLIANT!
Loved when they took out the glee club ...
