Community

Show is genius and I've seen it countless amount of times!

Only reason it's not a 10 is because of Season 4, if you know you know

Community is one of the most underrated comedies of all-time. It's a comedy that takes place at Greendale Community College and follows the lives of its students, most adults looking to better their lives. I don't even k ow how to describe how much I love this incredible show! It's easily one of my all-time favorite comedies. All you have to do is read through the reviews to see how much everyone liked this show. You'll find it hard to find anyone who's actually watched the show who doesn't love it. It's one of the rare shows where the entire cast is hilarious and there's not a wink link among them. It stars Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Danny Purdi, Chevy Chase & Ken Jeong. They all give outstanding performances here. I've probably seen the entire series 3 or 4 times through and still find it just as funny as I did the first time. This is a must watch!

Community is one of the smartest and most endearing sitcoms ever created. Despite its ups and downs, its creative lacks, the behind the scenes drama, I still would recommend it to anyone who considers themselves a fan of movies or tv shows, or anyone who's just a bit trope-savvy and enjoys cleverness and absurd humor. The comforting nature of the show comes from its setting: a school, a community college of dubious prestige where "lesser people" find each other and find value in their own messy existence. They have adventures and discoveries in the setting of the school, they fight, they fall in love. It takes the very concept of a teen sitcom and adds an extremely important factor: the playfulness. The playfulness of living a boring day of school, a boring event, like a life-changing movie-like adventure. That's how being in school feels like, and it's weird that the only show that captures it is a show about adults: every mystery turns into a true-crime fiction, every paint-ball game into a western/star wars fantasy war, every discovery into something magical. The show is not just "parodying" these stories, the show is the characters basically reenacting, living their lives as these stories. There's a kind of childish joy in seeing a blanket fort turn into a crazy underground city, or an investigation into a dead yam turn into a law&order episode. Rather, there's a joy in watching the characters basically pretending that this is the case, themselves playing characters, creating a make-believe world out of a trivial day of school, thrilling and fun but also ultimately safe and comforting. You can feel Harmon's joy of the creative process through the characters, and I'm willing to bet a lot of the actors in the cast had a blast. The 4th season (the one everyone hates) is not as bad as people say, it's just a pointless and functional imitation of the previous seasons. Pierce was probably one of the most interesting characters to put in the main cast of a show like this, shame for all that's happened. The later seasons feel a bit tired, but you can't deny that there's a lot of great moments in seasons 5 and 6, as short-lived and unlucky they were. It's amazing on first watch and still holds up on the third.

The promos for this series really turned me off. Another dreary, predictable story about the uncaring horny guy pursuing the lovely stand-offish female? Wow was I wrong! These characters are refreshingly complex and give us lots of surprises in an all too short half-hour. The concept of a bunch of mismatched community college students bumbling through life is rich with possibilities and, speaking as a former community college student, has the ring of truth all the way through. All the actors are wonderful -- especially Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie. The cherry on top is the amazing Chevy Chase, so oft-criticized for being the self-indulgent ham, who delivers as nuanced and compelling ensemble-sensitive performance as you are ever going to see. My sense is that this show has got some serious legs!

As a European, I am not really a big fan of typical US comedy. Yeah I can laugh at some scenes of friends, Seinfeld or any other main network sitcom, but they never make want to rewind and watch a joke/situation again.

I only had that with some moments of Scrubs and well.... Community!

First of all thank god for the absence of the laugh tape. I hate that old figment of the 60's etc. If something is funny, it's funny. Not because other people are laughing on tape.

Community has this really quirky well thought sense of humor where every aspect is really worked out. Offcourse there is some typecasting going on like the oh-no-you-didn't African-American woman but Yvette someway makes that type more than a type.

I could give a review of every cast member but all I have to say is: the ones casted as a typical egocentric bastard, pretty girl or anything else are bringing more than just that.

I have to say that Danny Pudi, Chevy Chase and Donald Glover are the absolute funniest written and played characters/types on this show but I have to say: none of the cast hasn't NOT entertained me.

The type of humor really reminds me of scrubs and British humor with more interest to the unexpected. than to the typical expected. Not "just random" humor, but just something else then the thing you've would expect.

Please do not cancel this show soon. It is one of the shows I really look forward to each week.
