I loved it too. :) I love him on the Soup but haven't seen him act before. Hilarious. I loved it so much and laughed so hard.
I thought it was great too. I loved the "what's happening?! Am I deaf?!?!" line. Hilarious!!!
this is just the best i really cant wait till more people start getting into it...i think that he should have done something like this a long time ago...i just love this man...i like the part where her was like..." oh im sorry i grew up on tv"...u know the part about the black lady...that was awesome
One of my new favorite shows - loved each character and what they bring. The spanish professor was so funny this week. Lots of laughs and I hope this show sticks around.
I started watching this show for Joel McHale, since I am a The Soup fan, and it made me laugh so much!!! It has the clasic, super funny Indian guy in it like any good comedy. I believe, as the story builds, it WILL get even more funny!
im bringing back this thread because i love this show.especially the paintball episode. =)
We love this show-- it appeals to all the ages in our household. And it doesn't get any funnier than that paintball episode!Looking forward to the new season, and in the meantime, we're re-watching the first season on DVR!
The Dungeons and Dragons episode was classic!
Best sitcom currently on TV by far, and a great alternative for people who appreciate hefty doses of both edginess and sincerity in their comedy. Community walks the line between hilarious and heartfelt so, so well--I'm laughing hysterically one minute and feeling inspired and genuinely touched the next. Dan Harmon and co. are comedic artisans in my opinion. Love love love.
The episode with LeVar Burton was the best. After watching it, I listened to the Reading Rainbow theme song like 5 times a day for a week.
It hasn't been cancelled yet according to the networks. Just pulled from the mid season lineup.
NBC entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt on Friday kicked off the broadcast networks’ segment of the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena by almost immediately fielding questions about Community‘s MIA status from the midseason schedule as well as the acclaimed if undersampled comedy’s long-term fate.First and foremost, Greenblatt made clear that Community “has not been cancelled,” and will return to the lineup… at a to-be-determined date this spring.
“When I announced our midseason changes last fall and took Community off the schedule, I failed to explicitly say that it would be back,” he explained. “I want to expel any notion that it is just disappearing off the schedule.”
For now, it remains unclear where exactly where our friends at Greendale will call home when they return to the lineup. “Community was moved to 8 o’clock a couple of years ago, and that’s an incredibly competitive time slot now on Thursday,” Greenblatt said, candidly. “I’m really curious to see what something else” — in this case, 30 Rock — “will do there. We have a really tight schedule with comedies [so it's] really going to be a matter of looking at what happens with the six comedies we’ve got at midseason.”
As for any Season 4 prospects for Community, Greenblatt says it’s far too soon to tell. “We’re just going to look at the success of what pilots yield, what the scheduling needs are and make that decision closer to the upfront [in May].”
What has anybody heard about The Firm? The 2 hour premiere is on tonight and I'm trying to watch it--but have managed to get a bad cold and doubt I'm going to make it through the whole thing. Guess it's supposed to be 10 years after the events of the book by John Grisham. Oh--and what is Community? Don't think I've ever heard of it.
Community is a comedy Carole and I haven't heard a whole lot about The Firm.... I have it recorded to try out though.

I don't watch this one Carole but I know others like it.....
I ADORE this show with its wackiness!! The holiday specials never fail to make me giggle.
Community won Favorite Comedy & Ensemble in TV Guide's Fan Favorites Vote
renewed for another season!! Saved by the fans they said :)
The Greendale Gang is getting brand-new leadership.David Guarascio and Moses Port (Just Shoot Me, Aliens in America) are joining NBC’s Community as exec producers/showrunners, TVLine has confirmed. The duo will replace series creator Dan Harmon, who will now serve as a consulting producer — which, Harmon suggests, is little more than a vanity title.
“You may have read that I am technically ‘signed on,’ by default, to be an executive consulting something or other,” Harmon shared Saturday via his Tumblr page. “However, if I actually chose to go to the office, I wouldn’t have any power. … I would be ‘offering’ thoughts on other people’s scripts, not allowed to rewrite them… not allowed to say whether a single joke was funny or go near the edit bay etc.
“I’m not saying you can’t make a good version of Community without me,” he continued, “but I am definitely saying that you can’t make my version of it unless I have the option of saying, ‘It has to be like this or I quit’ roughly eight times a day.”
The replacement of Harmon comes on the heels of co-showrunners Neil Goldman and Garrett Donovan moving to the Fox comedy Ben & Kate, and Chris McKenna vacating his role as co-exec producer.
Harmon claims that Sony Pictures TV, the studio that makes Community, pulled the trigger on this transition without attempting to extend his most recent, one-year deal. “[T]heir reasons for replacing me are clearly none of my business,” he writes, “and I kind of don’t want to hear what their complaints are because I’m sure it would hurt my feelings even more now that I’d be listening for free.”
What might those complaints have been? The buzz is that as creatively brilliant and inventive as he may be, Harmon proved to much for SPTV, and those who worked under him, to handle. As one insider told New York Magazine‘s Vulture column, “Dan is a brilliant at ideas, but he’s terrible at [management].”
NBC last week renewed Community for a 13-episode fourth season, but the network banished the comedy to Fridays at 8:30/7:30 after Whitney. That said, the change in showrunners, as TV Guide Magazine reports, is likely designed to “broaden” the distinctively quirky comedy’s appeal and thus hopefully reach a wider audience.
Community leading man Joel McHale had been dreading the possibility of Harmon exiting, telling TVLine. “Dan’s the creator of the show, so to lose his voice would be pretty crazy…. He gave me the role of a lifetime, so it would be a very weird scenario [to continue] without him.
“I pray that it works out well,” McHale added. “That sounds weird and vague, but I really do. I literally am praying.”
OMG this is the best show ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I'm a big fan. My favorite episode is the one with the timelines to see who gets the pizza.Unfortunately, the creator and write Dan Harmon, was fired. He doesn't even know why! and the two creators of the show 'Two broke girls' will be writing next season. (UGH>) i think it might be terrible
The entire Greendale Gang — Chevy Chase‘s Pierce Hawthorne included — will be in attendance when Season 4 of NBC’s Community arrives in October.Chase, who portrays the moist towelette tycoon, hinted earlier this year that his well-publicized problems with Community creator and then-showrunner Dan Harmon might prompt him and the show to part ways. (We even included Pierce in our list of possibly expendable TV characters — and you overwhelmingly voted that the show would do just fine without him.)
But it perhaps was ultimately much hullabaloo about nothing as our sister site Deadline reports that Chase will in fact join Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, Alison Brie, Yvette Nicole Brown, Donald Glover, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong for Season 4, with David Guarascio and Moses Port on board as the new showrunners and Harmon now in a consulting producer position.
I picked up the third season of Community this past week. For one reason or another I seem to watch Community on DVD as opposed as to when it actually airs. Watched the first disc of the third season of episodes all in a row last night (5-7 episodes?).I'm glad I ran out of episodes on the first disc, though, as I might still be watching (I can say that as there are many more episodes to enjoy on the other discs). Quite a fun evening it was.
heh - and that timeline episodes was one of those on the first disc (from message 26).
PREVIOUSLY ON... | In a season finale designed to double as a series finale if necessary, the Greendale Gang all found happy-ish endings. Most notably, Jeff Winger at long last chose his true friends -- the study group! -- over his former life as a lawyer and opted to seek out his MIA father. Evil Abed was defeated, as well. COMING UP NEXT | If new bosses Moses Port and David Guarascio are to be believed, more of ousted creator Dan Harmon's signature innovation is ahead. "The only thing we care about is keeping it this weird, wonderful gem,” Guarascio has promised. Some Season 4 specifics: an Inspector Spacetime convention (with British comedian Matt Lucas) and Battlestar babe Tricia Helfer; revved-up romance for Britta and Troy; and graduation for some -- but not all.
TVLINE BONUS SPOILER | Daddy Winger isn't the only member of Jeff's family we'll meet this season: His brother is on the way, too.
RETURN DATE | Friday, Oct. 19 at 8:30/7:30c (NBC)
PRE-FINALE EPISODES | The emotional growth Abed seemed to make in “Herstory of Dance” was “real,” according to EPs Moses Port and David Guarascio, who reveal that “he'll continue on that path.” There's also a “hot interaction between Jeff and Annie” on the way, as well as “some implied really hot sex” ahead for Jeff and Britta. (Don't worry, we're as confused as you are.) The co-showrunners also warn fans not to assume “someone – or something – is on the other end” of the changnesia-suffering Chang's phone conversations. “Sure, it seems logical,” they add, “but… this is Chang.” Also ahead for the study groupers: an origins episode, the much-talked-about Freaky Friday-esque half-hour penned by co-star Jim Rash and the resurgence of some paintball fun.MAY 9 SEASON FINALE | “We never really thought about the finale as a series ender,” Port and Guarascio share. “That being said, if it turns out to be a series ender, will it be satisfying? Yes and no. Yes, because it's a really good episode. No, because it will be sad and frustrating as it will mean the show is dead.” As for what the installment — which partially centers on the graduation of at least one Greendaler — entails, Gillian Jacobs tells TVLine, "It's touching, funny and action-y… And we will be the only people on TV doing what we did" in that episode.
i am so glad this is renewed for another season. There are some loose ends that should be tied up before the season finale. This might be wierd but i kind of want to see Jeff and Annie together.
