From Dan Harmon ("The Sarah Silverman Program") and Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo ("Arrested Development") comes "Community," 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 At the center of the group is Jeff Winger (Joel McHale, "The Soup"), a fast-talkin' lawyer whose degree has been revoked.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 ("Chuck") as Pierce, a man whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom; Gillian Jacobs ("The Book of Daniel") as Britta, the 28-year old drop out with something to prove; Yvette Nicole Brown ("Rules of Engagement") as Shirley, a sassy middle-aged divorcée; Danny Pudi ("Greek") as Abed, a pop culture junkie; Alison Brie ("Mad Men") as Annie, a high-strung perfectionist; Donald Glover ("30 Rock") as Troy, a former high school football star trying to find his way and Ken Jeong ("The Hangover") as Spanish professor, Señor Chang.



So how bad was this show? Maybe I was too hyped for it, I don't know. But the way it was built up as the funniest new show and one of the best shows of the fall, this pilot episode bombed. I don't think I've ever seen that much forced humor in the span of twenty minutes before. Maybe I'll give it a couple more episodes, see where it goes. But if the rest of the show is like this first episode, then instant bomb.

Only thing I laughed at the whole episode was the "I'mma give my book to Slumdog Millionaire over here." At least Allison Brie (the brunette) was hot, otherwise I'd have changed channel halfway through.

I don't know, I thought this was pretty funny in it's own way. I was really looking forward to it, I'm sure it'll get better after those first few awkward episode.

Wasn't too bad but I think it has potential.

I was let down. I'll still give it another try but it far from impressed me. I'd rather watch a repeat of The Soup. I thought Joel McHale did a good job acting it was just the script that sucked.

I enjoyed the show. I especially like The Office-Community double header.

The show's pretty good, I liked the second episode more than the pilot. The Spanish rap thing at the end was hilarious. And Ken Jeong as the Spanish teacher was great.

Community only airs one more episode in the post-Office slot (9:30pm), after that it moves to 8:00pm.

And yea Ken Jeong was great "People say...why don't you teach photography??"

This show is a total dump!!! Have watched it three times and thrown in the towel. McHale is alright but that's about it. Really had high hopes, too...

Sorry you feel that way man, I think the show is getting better with each episode. It reminds me a lot of the humor we see in something like 30 Rock, which I love.

Smoke up Johnny!

re: Community

I agree, I think it's getting better and better, with the last episode being the best so far. I think the sneezing scene with Pierce and Troy has been one of the funniest if not the funniest scene to date, I was laughing so hard.

Hopefully the move to 8:00pm next week won't hurt the ratings.

I like the way there are many side stories with very diverse people throughout the episodes. If it just followed one main character, the show would get boring and fast. But right now it is one of my favorite shows.

I watched the 3rd episode and I liked it

I laughed at the "Girly Sneeze" scenes and Abed was funny

This past episode was stellar (just finally got around to seeing it on nbc.com). I noticed right away their Spanish book is the same one I used, and that is still sitting on top of my TV shelf, a few years ago in community college Awesome Batman bits, and Chevy Chase was hilarious in this episode.
