Up All Night is still finding its voice, but it's coming along.
Because of the comparably smaller main cast, I tend to think of it as less "sprawly" than Community, but in both cases I think the casting is good and the chemistry between the leads is a pleasure to watch.

Bah! Whitney sucks and Up All Night isn't on the same level. Community needs to exist!

So I just finished watching season 2 of this show and OhMyGod is it FUNNY!!! I ended up having to buy the first season too after my computer crashed and I lost all the episodes I'd downloaded and I am now going to lend them out to all my friends to get them hooked on this show too.
That paintball two-parter to end the season on was absolutley AMAZING! The first season's paintball episode was really great and then this one just took it to a whole new level. All the Western touches in the first part and then the Star Wars ones in the second had me in stitches. I totally second Cobie's shout out of Vicki's line about dancing on the table-top ("This is the only life I know") as being the line of the season. SO HILARIOUS!
I rewatched the entire first season straight after I'd finished it and I'm going to do it again with the second. There are so many great jokes and scenes that are just as funny the second time around.
All that said, there have been a few clunker episodes each season. I really hated that Psychology test storyline from the first season where Abed foiled Annie and Professor Duncan's test. I don't remember being a big fan of that Jeff pool-class episode either. This season had that Chang in jail episode and especially that Pulp Fiction/My Dinner with Andre episode that didn't work for me. So many of the others have been absolute gold though.
As for characters, Jeff and Annie are probably my favourites of the main bunch - but I love all the minor/side characters too, ESPECIALLY Dean Pelton! I don't think I have ever not found him funny in a scene.
Which brings me to my one big problem with the show -
Shirley. I don't think I have ever found her funny in a scene. She almost drags the whole show down for me. I have to fast-forward through almost every line she has when I rewatch first season episodes. I feel she became more likeable somehow in the second season but I still don't find anything about her, her storylines, or the actress playing her funny.
No show is perfect though so I can overlook that minor annoyance and appreciate the really top-notch creative/comedic brilliance that the rest of the show displays.
Wish season 3 would hurry up and finish over there so I can get that DVD too.

What, no comments about this week's episode?
Actually kind of "meh" for me.
I did think the anime foosball sequence was funny. And the ending with 'lil Jeff and 'lil Shirley walking off together was cute.
And now Annie seems to have the hots for abed. The only guy she hasn't had a crush on is Pierce.
Speaking of which we are *way* overdue for a Chevy-centric episode...

It was kinda meh, but meh Community is still better than just about everything else... I'm still in shock from the upcoming hiatus...
I do love when Troy goes all squealy, as in "You were supposed to tone us down!"

I think this episode suffered from not having señor chang or the dean. They tend to spice things up.
And I demand more Britta, who is my favorite character this season.

Yeah, I have to say that I liked the basic idea of the episode, but it kind of fell flat.

Too much Shirley--she's best used more judiciously I think to make her funny or heart warming. Agree about Chang and the Dean. I'm still cracking up over the Dean going crazy director a few weeks ago.

 I loved seeing Shirley in this capacity, actually. Seeing her sordid past as "Big Cheddar" kind of opened up a new little window on her personality.

I'll agree with that... I'm probably being too harsh on the episode. I think it was mainly the switch to 'Japanimation', which would have wowed on any other show, just fell flat with me on Community which is already head and shoulders above everything else. The episode didn't really need that bit of extra.
Aww, heck! Any ep with Abed as Batman is a winner!! Troy forcing himself to play along with Annie's wacky scheme was adorable.
I can't not love this show!!!

ATTENTION!!!
The best episode of the season is in progress right now!!!!
Every season there are fall on your face genius episodes! This is one.
'Baby Boomer Santa' is probably the greatest moment of my year.

This one is going to need to be re-watched over and over for general awesomeness, and to catch all the little groovy lines!

Danny Pudi and Yvette Nicole Brown (Abed and Shirley) made awesome cameos on "Chuck" last week. Pudi was playing a "replacement Lester" and absolutely nailed Vik Sahay's mannerisms. It was really funny.
I guess Ryan "Captain Awesome" McPartlin was also on Community earlier this season as well (still waiting for Season 2 on Netflix).

Yay! It's now totally confirmed that Community will be coming back at some vague, unspecified future time!
