So this is quickly becoming one of my favorite new shows to hit in the longest time and I thought there were enough other people here that like it to deserve its own thread.
From
Joe and
Anthony Russo of Arrested Development fame, host of The Soup
Joel McCale,
Donald Glover from Derrick Comedy, SNL alumni and 80s movie legend
Chevy Chase, and others comes . . .

Anyway this show is awesome, it has a phenomenal cast, and is by and large, fucking hilarious. Last Thursdays episode might be my favorite yet but even with the few there are its hard to choose.
If nothing else, you should watch Community because the show exudes pure unfiltered happiness and you'll feel good about yourself. Its hard not to watch a new episode without grinning like an idiot for awhile.
Carpe Diem!

I probably should because it looks pretty good.
Abed and Troy Spanish Rap Remix
I'll be missing Community every night because I just happen to have climbing Thursdays until 8
All of the professors have been great so far.
I really like John Oliver too. Especially in Social Psychology when
I went to a community college
it was nowhere near as entertaining as this show
A BIRTHDAY CAKE!
The pilot is easily the weakest ep so far
It keeps getting better; Abed's film was superb, and I actually laughed out loud at last night's episode
And the segments at the end are probably the best thing
On one hand, half his lines felt silly for the sake of silliness
but on the other hand, every one had me in stitches
I would agree with this, and I thought the pilot episode itself was really solid.
Having episodes that revolve primarily around specific characters (Pierce in Spanish 101, Abed in Introduction to Film, and Shirley/Alison in Social Psychology) has been a really good thing.
I hereby deem you, Worthwhile Lurker.
It's gonna get canceled. You already know it.
I want you to go for a swim and tell ten people you love them!
Going for dis on the next Whining Forum.
Who want's to touch me?
It's actually gotten pretty good, especially with Louis C.K. in the cast now.
I hardly ever watch tv, but the OP had me interested at the words "arrested development" and "community college"
one of which I love and wish there was more of, the other of which is unfortunately very relevant to my life
I hope this is good!
guys
this is totally the funniest show since 30 Rock
I need gifs of Pierce's Spanish presentation like now
I actually looked them up just now because I had no idea what they were and they are really impressive.
Ratings are in! We are a hit!

oh man, so epic
did you say S?
Senor Chang and McHale and Chevdogs...
fucking wonderful
also i love abed
but it also improved on NBC's numbers in that slot and NBC doesn't have a whole lot else to put on anyways and they let kath & kim run for a whole season so
this show is clever and I like it
cool, now I have a new show to watch
now if only Fox would move Fringe to Wednesdays or something so I wouldn't have to wait until later to watch it on Hulu.
