Community, the tv show

15 MINUTES, Y'ALL!!!

"Can it, boobs!"

Felt off, airless, a bit too predictable. Did Cougartown really need to be a continuing thing? Would prefer it if they just moved moved moved.

Did like the Doctor Who bit, though.

I hope that's the last show for a while where the group analyzes its own dynamic. I thought it was a good episode, but that topic is stale.

it's the kind of thing that head writers like to talk about in extensive online interviews but nobody else gives a shit about. just give us the funny.

<3 all the British TV stuff.

Cougarton Abbey

hopefully pierce being back in the group means an end to the in-fighting plotlines, because that was old last season. less yelling, more zings!

but still some quality stuff tonight. i liked shirley quietly suggesting they use abed's catatonia as a chance to baptize him.

liked the 2001 and Shining nods but would've liked a full blown Kubrick ep more

I was dying already the instant Abed said "I'm on episode six", enough that my wife paused the episode and made me explain why I was laughing so hard and I said pretty much what Britta said 20 seconds later when we pushed play again.

I'm annoyed they just didn't use Dr Who and used some lame stand in.

Ep was kinda lame, but they always start slow. Not feeling the lizard but I <3 the 'lets breaking bad together' w/ omar line.

'Cut it boobs' p much the only line i lol'd at, along with the rectum bit.

Nah that was great, I hope it's the new Kickpuncher.

Episode was fun but kinda felt like they were trying to cram too much in, maybe the Dean/Goodman stuff could have waited an episode or two. Better than the start of S2 though. Shirley had most of the best moments although the idea of Chang as the security guard has serious lol potential.

thought the shot of jeff in the tunnels when the smoke starts rolling down towards him and chang scampers down a side corridor was amazing

Did Cougartown really need to be a continuing thing?

YES. COUGAR TOWN JOKES NEVER GET OLD.

YOU ARE THE OPPOSITE OF BATMAN.

i was impressed by this too! the whole episode looked very good. also britta went back to having wavy hair and i thought she looked amazing, especially in that gray shirt in the tag.

this was awful

Martin Starr's on next week, playing one Professor Cligoris.

I'm w/ flopson - if it carries on like this I might well have to consider myself an outright non-fan.

i loled.

also britta went back to having wavy hair and i thought she looked amazing,

Dan Harmon was saying on one of the DVD commentaries that they got so much flack for changing Britta's hair in season two. I didn't even notice she'd changed it back.

We had to stop the DVR because we were laughing so hard at "you've really thought this through" on the Dean's monkey hotel plans.

No way was this awful. I agree with Matt though - too much stuff. So far The Office, BBT and this have all started off pretty good and in the absence of ANYTHING FUNNY AT ALL on British TV I'm happy with that.

Think they were just getting their ducks in a row really, seemed to be a lot of scene setting crammed into 20mins.

yeah the episode felt a little strained in the agenda setting and the unsubtle "for you new viewers we want to attract and keep, this is starburns, he has star-shaped sideburns" stuff but still had some big laughs

this episode seemed the same as most of the episodes, to me

i for one always find starburns-has-starburns jokes funny.

also, i thought the dean's entrance was hilarious ('how ya like me now, bitches?!') and that set me up for the rest of the episode.

Pros: "We're gonna sleep together". Abed's high pitch noise. Monkey hotel. Pierce being good, Jeff being bad

Cons: That beginning song in general. Group dynamics analysis. Chang too far off the deep end to ever have any semblance of realism. Not many funny jokes this time

Abed being a pathetic spazz who has to be coddled and manipulated by his friends was ugh, much prefer when he's quietly the most together and self-aware person in the group

well, it IS kind of traumatic when your favorite show ends

i wonder how many people on ilx made that sound a year ago when they found out parks & recreation wasn't coming back until mid-season

otm. the dean made me laugh the most this episode.

I don't think a relatively harmless high pitched noise is criteria enough to be all "pathetic spazz".

But otm, about the dean being awesome. He's been the opposite of Chang. When Chang was getting worse Dean was getting better.

He never had to be coddled by his friends

someone disagreed with me, i must defend my point! oh wait it was lorax nm

guys don't fight. don't be like community episode 3.1

but I would like to see some dude's defense for ripping on a guy for having autistic tendencies

oh wait he's some dude. he doesn't have to defend himself

sorry for ripping on you, homie

I rarely suggest ban anyone but there you go

lol c'mon Lorax, you were reading a little too much into some dude's post

you're right or you're wrong. if he saw abed as a pathetic spazz he was wrong. simple as that

Spaz US or spaz UK?

he's usually not. squealing and then going catatonic because of a TV show being on hiatus is not really typical of the character in earlier episodes is all i was saying.

I rarely suggest ban anyone but there you go I gave you one a long time ago

high five?

I loved it. Then I read everyone being all "stop being all about the dynamics of the group and shit" and I loved it a little less. On reflection, they should do that.

British people don't pronounce Deirdre like "deir-drah" though. We say "deir-dree". At least, I do.

considering that the s2 finale was basically a cliffhanger about pierce leaving the group, i took it as a given that they'd have to address that in the premiere. if we get three or four episodes into the season and the group dynamic stuff is still dominating the stories, then i'll complain.
