Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine COMMUNITY in its own thread at last!

Agreed...

Also, how brilliant was Dean Pelton's Uncle ("Auntie?") Sam outfit? He's friggin' awesome...

Netflix.ca just picked up the first season. We watched the first episode and it was fun. Though the lead character didn't work for us, the supporting cast were really funny. We'll queue up episode 2 later this week.

Fantastic ep. this week!

Last week's episode was probably my least favorite episode of the entire run. Probably I just need to give it another view. Chang being pathetic doesn't work for me, maybe; I think I prefer him as the power-tripping badass super-jerk.

BUT! After finishing this week's episode, I can again say:

This show is so fantastic, so far above most other shows out there that I feel privledged, honored and even a bit special to get to view it every week. I even feel pity for those who are missing out on this awesomeness...

So glad not to be amongst the pitiable... such an awesome show... agree with you about last week's episode... I'm not crazy about the "Who's Shirley's Babydaddy" plot... they still have to find a better way of integrating Chang into the group...

I just down-loaded the whole first season of this show. Won't be able to watch it until my assignments are all out of the way in a few weeks but I look forward to seeing what all the excitement is about with this show.

Yay! Soon I won't have to pity Blacula anymore!

Sharky, you're right, they just need to let him in the group already... he really really gets on my nerves when he's pathetic... but I sure do love power-mad nutjob Chang...

"Magic user, baby" Chang from the AD&D episode is my favorite variety of Chang...

Second episode was just OK. Surprising because it was Chevy Chase episode, but a lot of the humor fell flat and Joel McHale is just not likable. I know he's playing an unlikable jerk who's supposed to be coming around, but he's just not pulling it off and isn't recommending the series very well. Does it really get better as it goes?

It does... it really, really does... first season episodes about the debate club, paintball, pool, chicken fingers and Christmas, to name a few, are hilarious... give it some more time... Joel will grow on you too...

Halloween episode, complete with Batman impression is beyond hilarious.

The chicken tender episode is 30 minutes of pure brilliance.

But the paintball episode? Perhaps the greatest 30 minutes in the history of network television. I believe all the networks should just quit permanently because it can never be topped.

Stick with it, for sure... I simply cannot imagine someone not growing to love this show and the entire cast (to one extent or another).

And we are not exaggerating about the chicken fingers episode and so many others.

And Cobie is right, the paintball episode is the single most perfect episode of any tv show ever.

Third episode was much better and had a more ensemble feel to it (ostensibly it was an Abed episode, but there was enough meat for everyone). So far the best parts of the show have been the throwaway bits during the credits, but there were few laugh out loud bits scattered throughout as well. I'm back on board now and looking forward to seeing where it goes.

I'm glad that after the "stunt-a-palooza" that was the first half of the season that they're focusing more on the characters and their interactions. I think this show, more than all others, tends to focus on disharmony within the group rather than the group dealing with the "whacky situation of the week." (see the afore mentioned "stunt-a-palooza")

I'm glad to see more Chang lately, but I agree that he's funnier when in a position of power.

OK, we're now hooked plowing through 2 episodes a night. The Halloween episode and the debate were both great. The episode where Joel moves in with Abed was just OK (but the Pierce/Vaughn stuff was really funny). Glad we stuck with it.

Xmas episode was great, but the follow-up flopped a little. Even Community can't make Jack Black funny.

I did like it when they were mean to him though!

Glad you're enjoying it!!

OK, so we've really enjoyed the show until this point, but I honestly wouldn't have said it is as completely hysterical as the hype led us to believe. Then tonight we watched the Abed's secret admirer/Jeff playing pool episode. I thought we would wet ourselves it was so insanely funny. Everything from Bagels through to the Bert & Ernie ending was laugh out loud funny.

being the best isn't always hysterical-- it's smart and clever too...

You still have some excellent episodes in front of you!

(I love that this is highlighted!!!)

Apparently Josh Holloway will be in this year's season finale, which is all kinds of awesome!

I forgot how funny the Abed secret admirer / Jeff playing pool episode was! Man, I've got to get the DVD season and rewatch.

When he decides to become "someone who could approach a girl" and goes into Vampire/Lizard mode, my wife nearly hurt herself she couldn't stop laughing. We had to rewind a few minutes to get the jokes we missed.

Yeah that was a hysterical scene!!

Ooooh, I really enjoyed this week's low-key episode... I think I enjoyed most the surprise ending with Pierce's ladyfriend.

I hope she sticks around.

It was nice to see a prominent role for Troy this week, doing something other than hanging out with Abed.

"That African American police chief character Abed was playing is right."
