This is why the news makes a weird kind of sense to me. The show mostly held steady, maybe lost some of its prestige and maybe some viewers (I wasn't paying attention to numbers like I used to, so I don't know). Bringing back Harmon (maybe for a final season) would definitely make the show more appealing in…
Really, really bad. Easily my least favorite of the series.
Todd's review is pretty much spot on, here.
I'm not sure I agree with your assessment of Jeff's and Shirley's anecdotes—Jeff's thing could have easily been pre-study group, and I could totally a pre-season 1 Jeff bailing at the fear of a kid. And Shirley, with her sordid past and at times over-the-top behavior (foosball, her drinking days) could have had that…
I seem to have liked this more than others. Granted, I've watched a whole lot of Muppets in my day, so I really dug the way they worked within that sensibility.
Okay, so last week I was pleasantly surprised with the space-time convention business because, character woes aside, it was the first well-paced, well-structured episode of the season and those basics of craft are huge for Community. In the past, the episode that didn't land for me were the ones that felt…
Well, he did say he asks midwestspitfire what she rates the episodes, then adjusts up a letter grade for comedies, and down a letter grade for dramas, and I'm pretty sure I saw her give the ep. a D on Twitter, so I guess there is no other possibility than that he would have given the episode a C.
It makes perfect sense. What's driving Abed's behavior now is how close he is to his friends, and his fear of losing them. That was spelled out pretty explicitly last season. Early on, before the study group got very close, Abed wasn't all the concerned about imagining life without them. That fear of abandonment is…
Sorry for all the typos to follow. I have more important things I need to be doing so…..
This is promising. I'm at work and won't get home to watch for another ninety minutes, but I'm happy to see a more positive response than the early reviews let on. I wonder why the critics all disliked this one so much.

And Ken Jeong as Jar Jar Binks.
It seems so……empty in here. Less than a thousand posts. Anywhooooo…I'm at work until 10 (cst), so I don't get to watch the episode until I get home. I will, however, enjoy reading everyone's responses.
I saw it when it first aired and it was in the lower half of my top 10.
Just putting this out there because I know a lot of you love TV, and are inclined toward writing. A very respected, very hip lit journal named Hobart just added a new section to their submission page for "Breaking Bad Fan Fiction."
I don't know, why do people who don't want to take the song to either "get" a song, or at least justify a non-conventional reading of a song, feel that it's okay to dismiss said song in the opening paragraph of an essay on a high-profile pop culture website?
It's sort of accurate, though. Look at the author of this article's year end ballot. I love Springsteen, but Wrecking Ball was barely a decent album, let alone year end list material.
I feel about Shields the way you do about Channel Orange. Shields is just a meh, album with a couple of nice sounding songs.
