Community is at its most watchable not when it's tackling some real-world hot-button issue via the guise of a Greendale Community College campus event, but when it's examining the interactions of its main characters. Read full review

We never know how fully such a mix might develop, and in this episode, it seemed undercooked by the end. Read full review

It continues to follow many traditional sitcom models for individual story structure, while also reinventing these themes with diverse and brilliant writing. This show does things that I have never seen a network show try before. I would say it exists somewhere in between Modern Family and Always Sunny, in that it has the ability to reach broader audiences and deserves critical acclaim while still being ridiculous and zany. I can understand how some people cannot completely get behind the lack of over arching story, but the pure humor is beyond that of any other show.… Expand

Consistently smart and funny, probably the best show on television. In a world where Kim Kardashian counts as entertainment, we need as many shows like this as possible.

Love, love, love. I absolutely cannot wait until the next season. The characters actually have depth, though at the same time, they're kind of caricatures. It's weird, but it works.

I kind of loathed the clay-mation episode last season and was glad to see that there wasn't one in this season. This show is especially great for those who catch the references made to different movies, TV shows, etc.… Expand

The most astoundingnly, clever comedy to grace the small screen since Friends and Seinfeld. God, this comedy series just can't be described in words. You have to watch it imo, if you aren't you're really missing out.

OK, well the first season I thought I liked the show, had some interesting twists. But as the second season came along, and now this one...it's just getting weirder and weirder. I just don't enjoy the show any more.
