NBC's Community Thread - 6/2 - Ep. 13: "Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television"

[big j 33]

Good episode, the show can do the sweeter/more "dramatic" storylines and still do them well, make it funny, and make it their own style.

Troy's development from the dumb and naive jock to a more mature guy at times was finalized tonight, yet he can still do funny things with Abed and at the same time bond with Jeff as an equal. The show is very strong at presenting good character developments amidst all the funny, and make it seem believable.

Some highlights for me:

The disappointed look from Britta to Troy, followed by the enthusiastic approval by Jeff.
The very specific birthday cake

"I want to bathe in manhood"
Troy saying, "I don't usually cry"

my favorite part of Troy's character is easily is frequent tears.
Jeff calling Britta a goon on the phone
Abed getting hit on, realizing it, and still wanting to talk about Farscape

I'm really looking forward to the Christmas claymation episode.

This is the 6th time in a row I said the newest Community was one of the best of the series.

Pierce! Just everything. Can't believe I missed this to watch the Cavs suck.

 

[usainboltisfast]

This was a good episode. Not the funniest but its an episode that all Sitcoms need. This episode gave depth to Troy who most people think is just a dumb character who needed depth.

 

[nayokochan]

This show delivered, yet again. Troy spazzing on Brita and Jeff was kind of

but then again, it was a good moment for his character.

Anybody else recognize the sociology issues the show presents? Or is it that obvious? I guess with the name Community its pretty obvious

I wrote this earlier:

Show is so damn good. There is a clear and insightful message through all this (sometimes) absurd comedy. Can't beat that 

 

[josebronx]

^cosign, wish it wasnt once a week

 

[breezylocks]

thought this episode was great

 

[shogun]

i was hoping shirley would start drinking again in the episode.  her drunk pics being all over the bar was awesome.
annie should've gotten sloppy drunk and took off her sweater.  

chang hasn't been in a few episodes this season.  he's hardly on anymore.

how are the ratings for the show so far?  i know it's in danger of being cancelled.

 

[bkmac]

Avy check 

.

Mixology Certification had its moments. When Pierce couldn't maneuver  into the bar

.

What?! Why would NBC do this? This is a hit show.

 

[big j 33]

Chang has missed some episodes because he was filming Hangover 2.

 

[shogun]

there was an article on yahoo a couple of months ago, saying how the ratings were low and it was one of the shows in danger of being cancelled.
it's in the same time slot competing against the big bang theory, which has almost 3x the viewers.

i think nbc will be patient with it.  they've stuck with 30 rock, its ratings weren't that great either.  but they do win emmys.

No it's not.
Community is probably my favorite show, but it's ratings are not that great. They're decent, but it still lost in ratings this week to Big Bang Theory, which was a rerun. And it's got the lowest ratings of that comedy block, even Outsourced.

 SMH. Outsourced is getting higher ratings than Community? Wow, I wouldn't even think of that...I really hope they keep the show on the air.

 

[damnitzdom]

Outsources isnt that bad minus the most recent episode

 

[venom lyrix]

Community is the best comedy on TV right now, if they cancel this show ever I'm writing angry letters!

 

[big j 33]

Outsourced also benefits from having The Office as a lead-in, as well as being more heavily promoted. Community is by itself going up against one of the biggest comedies, Big Bang Theory.

Yeah, I don't think the show is bad as some people say, but, I see how Outsourced has the viewers from The Office.
Btw, is The Big Bang Theory good?

Five minutes in, there have already been far too many quotables.
