Yes, the ratings juggernaut powerhouse Community.

When has Community ever being sainted for me?

What? I disagree. I didn't even know people felt that way about those early episodes. Say what you want about their quality, but 30 Rock was always on a pace of its own. I remember watching the pilot for and the lesbian episode and thinking "This show is still adjusting, but man do I like the pace". Both shows I feel…

Charlie in High Fidelity is actually engaging in some level and you see that not only her, but people around her still believe her bullshit (Rob just happened to get a moment of self-awareness to get that). Here it felt contrived, like "insert random personality trait" immediately.

But the problem wasn't only dialogue pace, but gag pace as well. Hell, I don't even remember many gags. There were a few I guess, but even those were probably quick, few and far between. More gags would be nice.

I didn't like her character at all, and it might make me sound like a jerk, but I really want them to get rid of her. I mean, they gave her a storyline right in episode 2, before Betsy Brandt or Wendell Pierce get their own (who are, frankly, better actors), before we really start seeing anything related to the…

I really hope they quit the talking to the camera angle soon. It's annoying. We don't need this gimmick anymore. It has rarely been put to good use. And even when put to good use, it can be frustrating and at some point, dries up (like The Office U.S. and Parks becoming hit or miss with it as soon as seasons four and…

I think he was a reporter-turned-anchor.

Really? I think pace is one of the issues of this show. Inconsistent, and sometimes too slow for the dialogue they have. I'm not expecting balls-to-the-wall fast like Happy Endings, but there are several scenes that could have felt more dynamic with one or two jokes more.

Yeah, very bland. It's a shame it appears to have so many Happy Endings writers on the crew, it could use more pace or to be a bit hightened. And I'm not expecting greatness right out of the gate, but they got such generic stories for the second episode, and such broad characteristics for the characters (I really…

I liked all the scenes with Will Arnett and Maya Angelou.

Example: Claire Danes

They have actually said in the past that the place they were in when they wrote Time To pretend and Kids is not somewhere they went to go back because they weren't happy back then. So it really is the easy way out, because it's about then being happy rather sacrificing themselves for their music (which sounds unfair…

When a band doesn't have the talent to meet their ambitions, it's ok to say stuff like that. Good music from the familiar is still better than bad music from the unexpected by the simple fact that it's, you know, good.

There is nothing undeserved about any of the awards Claire Danes and Henry Bromell won, you crazy.

That sweet, sweet Coen Brothers sound.

I'm laughing so hard at this line! Hahahahahahaha.

He doesn't bring them down - you just assume that because he is comparing them to TBBT in a favorable look at that show. I honestly feel AV Club commenters are exaggerating.

They are not psychopaths, and characters can be insecure, but it isn't about insecurity.

Huge difference between having insecure characters and insecurity being the main theme of the show.
