I'm making a Community thread (and other former Thursday TV)

captaink

The old one got locked. I'm not doing any fancy first post though.

This week, Community is Law and Order:
http://www.nbc.com/community/video/law-and-order/1397823

I can't wait!

Also last week's episode was really amazing, let's talk about it!

The last two episodes have been a bit disappointing for me

I mean, they're good, they're well written and have lots of character depth

but there aren't many laffs.

I watch Community for Laffs, not pathos.

KalTorak

Blade episode was one of my favorites; I can't quite lay my finger on why.

Pillows vs. Blankets was also one of my favorites, and I know exactly why.

#pipe

Pillows vs Blankets was amazing

AMAZING. Start to finish.

I see what you mean, but I still thought last week's episode was extremely compelling even if it wasn't as funny as the show can be

now, the episode about the Dean shooting a new commercial for the school? that was an episode I thought ought to have been funnier than it was.

I found the last one really funny actually.

But Abed can make me laugh pretty much by doing anything, so your mileage may vary.

Annie was quite good in both though.

Parks and Rec has been pretty great as well lately.

See I guess that gets to subjectivity of comedy because that's like, one of my all time funniest community episodes.

I really liked the opening bit in Tom's apartment, and Ron Swanson on meditation. The rest was pretty average.

Annie doing her terribly overblown British impression and Troy freaking while under the truth serum were probably my favorite moments of the most recent episode. And while there might have been less jokes than Pillows and Blankets on the whole, I would have to say that I like the last two episodes more than that saga, as great as it was.

Also, props to Subway for letting the Community staff do whatever the hell they want with their brand while giving them the precious ad revenue that cannot be siphoned from time shift viewers (that seem to be the majority of the shows viewers) in the quantities that it can be from those watching on TV in realtime. That whole storyline was my favorite part of that episode, as I'm sure it was for many.

Vann Diras

the dean documentary episode is hilarious

just

so funny

The Geebs That Is A Pony

subway got a huge chunk of publicity for product placement in chuck

I guess they saw another low-rated cult nbc show and were like "heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey guys what's up"

Rehab

I think Subway also secretly sponsors Blamimations.

the blade episode is one of my all time favorites

it just hits all the right notes

KalTorak

it should probably be troubling how much the "You're the opposite of Batman!" "You don't know what that means!" exchange got me thinking about the opposite of Batman.

Does anyone watch The Office still? Last week's made me want to punch Catherine Tate in the goddamn mouth.

I've been watching it intermittently; I felt the exact same way.

Bedlam

The office is completly horrible.

NeoToma

Has anyone posted Joel McHale's Day in the Life?

http://www.hulu.com/watch/348524/a-day-in-the-life-joel-mchale

First half is him doing The soup and the second half is him filming the Season finale of Community
It's really weird to think about him having to memorize an entire Winger monologue in a Day. But I guess that's what being an star actor is all about.

lostwords

It's a downer to me that I'd rather have up all night in place of the office at this point to improve that whole comedy block. Though I gotta say abc's Wednesdays with happy endings, modern family, and suburgatory and fox tuesday with raising hope and new girl are giving it a run for their money. Not to mention hbo sitcoms like eastbound and down (best season that just ended), girls and veep looking really good too. Basically it is a pretty great time for tv sitcoms

KalTorak

New Girl is surprisingly fantastic.

Centipede Damascus

it's only been a couple of weeks but I already miss Happy Endings

The Geek

I am a couple episodes behind on 30 Rock, need to sit down with Hulu sometime this week.


Also, I wish Community was on Netflix so I could start watching.

I'm actually really surprised that I enjoy it as much as well.

It is entirely dependent on the supporting cast though. I dislike Zooey's character the most.

Bedigunz

Did anyone watch Veep? I saw the first episode and was incredibly let down. I just wasn't feeling it.

The Geebs That Is A Pony

I liked it a bunch

rhylith

I thought veep was pretty damn funny.

Tonight:

Blankzilla

As someone who has watched probably 200+ episodes of Law and Order through my life

I am so fucking excited

captaink

Oh man, it's the live episode of 30 Rock tonight.

AND the Debate Episode of Parks and Rec.

captaink

Oh and Don Glover plays Young Tracy Jordan tonight on 30 Rock.

The_Tuninator

The Community take on the L&O intro is the best thing.

Bucketman

Man where id try find that Spider-Man tie? The only ones I could find were for kids and thus far too short

Ubik

oh my god Community and Law & Order

i don't think there could be a more perfect show for me unless Parks and Rec or Arrested Development made a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode
