    it would be cool if the fifth season of community was more like the first season of community

    before they realized they were famous and began to freak out about how long it would last, back when they were just some dudes making a sitcom

    also it would be cool if they just fucking pulled the trigger on jeff and annie already jesus christ

    So the first episode
    Is about Abed trying to recreate the pilot of the series because he feels like they've gotten too crazy and need to go back to their roots

    God.

    Fucking.

    Dammit.

    Because Abed pretends the show is a shitty sitcom during a hunger games ripoff was so much better

    justfied is remarkably good

    I'm glad Rachael and Tim were more prominent in season 4, they were kinda underutilised until then (and their appearances are often so good).

    I'm very glad Timothy Olyphant got Justified and got to stop just being the best part of really shitty movies

    2 is still the peak of that show, but 4 is very good nonetheless. And it has the funniest Boyd Crowder moment.

    I love Timothy Olyphant in The Girl Next Door. The film isn't super great but his character is fantastic.

    I also want him to continue his crusade to star in all of FX's original shows.

    He's been in Justified, The League and Archer, come on It's Always Sunny...

    TV thread, I have been told by an old friend that I simply have to watch Under the Dome and that it is amazing. I'd like a second opinion. Thoughts?

    Its not a marvel of TV or anything but it is tolerable. Some of the characters are pretty good. Give it a few episodes and see what you think? I like it

    30 Rock update: That live show was so good. I wasn't sure if I should watch another episode right after because I didn't know what would top it but Kelsey Grammer cameo oh my god.

    It's freakish how consistent that show was. I think the only dip for me was for a few episodes late in S4 and early in season S5 but apart from that it's full-bore gold from about S1E08 until the season 7 finale.

    Easily one of the greatest sitcoms of all time.

    Bucho on

    It doesn't elicit a lot of big laughs for me and my brain is always highlighting characters that get shafted for screen-time, but it is good comfort food. I'm really glad they culled Tracey's entourage and gave Grizz and Dotcom character development.
