Half-hour comedy
Series Premiere Thursday, September 17th 9:30/8:30c

From Dan Harmon (ג€The Sarah Silverman Programג€) and Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo (ג€Arrested Developmentג€) comes ג€œCommunity,ג€ a smart comedy series about a band of misfits who attend Greendale Community College. At the center of the group is Jeff Winger (Joel McHale, ג€œThe Soupג€), a fast-talkinג€™ lawyer whose degree has been revoked. With some help from his fellow classmates, Winger forms a study group who eventually learn more about themselves than their course work.

Also among the series stars who comprise the group are comedy legend Chevy Chase (ג€Chuckג€) as Pierce, a man whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom; Gillian Jacobs (ג€The Book of Danielג€) as Britta, the 28-year old drop out with something to prove; Yvette Nicole Brown (ג€Rules of Engagementג€) as Shirley, a sassy middle-aged divorc

shit is gonna be funny man....

got my boy Joel Mchale, Chevy the legend and that funny ass asian cat that's been killin' lately....

it'll also be funny on a whole other level to all the folks that have had to deal with the hipocrisy and bureaucracy that is attending community college

The pilot is much better than this teaser makes the show look.

I'm excited for this, but Thursday NBC is going to be bloated. Parks & Recreation really picked up steam toward the end of last season (shit was horrible at first), but having this, that, the office and 30 Rock all on back-to-back x2 is going to be overkill.

I'm enjoying the show. Nothing amazing, but pretty entertaining.

It's decent so far

Chevy Chase has been pretty great

the brown kid Abed is annoying as fuck :omgracist:


although him and Troy beatboxing and rapping in spanish over the credits last episode was pretty good

Yeah, I've scrubbed this one already. Talk Soup can be good but McHale = McFail as an actor

I had no idea who Joel McHale was going into this show, I only watched because I wanted to see Chevy Chase again.

The pilot was really strong, the second episode had its moments. The rapping during the credits definitely saved that episode for me. It's still set on my DVR, so I'll ride out the season.

Joel McHale = one of my heroes in life

That said, this show is pretty terrible. Me and the wife abandoned ship during the third episode.

Well, if you want to laugh your ass off, I would recommend recording "The Soup". It airs at 10 eastern time every Friday.

it's a nice diversion from the office/30 rock/parks and recreation craziness.

^ I disagree completely. As cheesy as pam and jim are, the writing/characters are still way better on the office than community.

the great thing about the uk office is we never had to watch tim and dawn turn into a sitcom couple. I think the US version has done a good job with it, but the show should have maybe ended with the wedding. I think them dipping out to get married was a real nice touch and would have been a good way to go out. we dont need to see them as parents and shit. thats what shit like according to jim is for.

Agreed, Creed, Stanley and Kevin put us over the though. Not to mention the drunk redhead and the farmer Dwight.
