There's an epic four part avclub interview with Dan Harmon: http://www.avclub.com/articles/dan-harmon-walks-us-through-communitys-second-seas,57085/ http://www.avclub.com/articles/dan-harmon-walks-us-through-communitys-second-seas,57209/1/ The other parts haven't been posted yet. If...
The directed by credit also caught my eye. I explain to my wife that it was Moss from the IT Crowd (which she loves). I know he did the pilot for the US IT Crowd with McHale that never got picked up, so maybe that's the connection. I think if I saw My Dinner With Andre I would have wet myself...
Referring to a Desi as an Asian is one of the biggest topic derailers in all the forums I've been on. For some reason, it really touches a nerve with a lot of the posters. When I was in college, the Asian Student Union was comprised of South and East Asians so I've never had a problem with it...
The love scene was an instant classic, but I have to say that, having played AD&D all throughout high school (and note that I successfully moved out of my mother's basement, got married, and have kids), I was disappointed at the lack of ultra nerdy AD&D references. Other than Chang being a Drow...
Whom do you like better, Jeff or Troy?
Why, Chang of course, And not just because Ken Jeong is Korean. It's because he's a doctor. BTW, Community ranks very high for me in terms of laughter density. This is a very important metric for me -- The Office is slowly losing it's laughter...
The reason I love Community so much is that the writing is so smart and clever, and it has one of the finest casts on TV, with every one of them able to wring laughs from line readings alone. There's eye candy (blonde and brunette), a diverse cast of characters, and amazing production values...
I absolutely loved the Raising Hope pilot, but I'm only mildly enjoying the rest of the series, which puts it at the level of My Name is Earl Season 3. IASIP is a raucous hoot, but it lacks any emotional resonance. The League was better last season than this season, when some of the...
I'd turn it around on you, Dave, to tell us what you're watching that's so great you haven't really given Community a shot. I personally watch almost every sitcom, even the cable ones, and Community is better than all of them season except 30 Rock, which is having a huge resurgence this season...
Abed's meta reference to bottle episodes was pretty funny: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottle_episode The monkey being Annie's Boobs never clicked with me until I read this thread. So it's even funnier. And props to the AD&D alignment chart. I can appreciate it as a geek who...
"Well he sure hates the government" I felt like the first three eps of the season were a series of body blows but no real knockout punch. Episode four was a series of headshots.
My wife and I were gasping for breath over Dean Pelton's orgasmic facial display as the City College Dean whispered a threat into his ear. And Troy's line reading of "yeah, this is a sticker" was inexplicably hilarious. I mean, it was all in the delivery. And it killed. I've said it...
