Community: The Complete First Season
Smooth talking ex-lawyer Jeff Winger has got a lot to learn, and he’s come to Greendale Community College to avoid every bit of it. Unfortunately for Jeff, he’s not the only misfit to enroll here, and people in need have an odd way of finding each other. First, his fake study group becomes a real study group. Then, over the course of a strange year – from Mexican Halloween to the final ‘Tranny Dance’ – including bad trips, great debates, drunk dials, food fights, epic paintball battles and sinister chicken finger conspiracies – the group becomes a family, something Jeff never wanted, but clearly needs. Starring Joel McHale (TV’s The Soup), Ken Jeong (The Hangover) and Emmy Award winner Chevy Chase.Community hits an ingenious balance: it’s both a top-notch sitcom about a gaggle of misfits at a community college and a satire on the very nature of sitcoms. Jeff (Joel McHale of The Soup), a fast-talking suspended lawyer seeking an authentic undergraduate degree, forms a Spanish study group

I skipped the premier of “Community” last fall. The promos didn’t make the show seem very interesting. However, I happened to spot it on Hulu a few weeks later and decided to give it a try. Needless to say, I burned through all the back episode in no time and couldn’t wait for more. The show is funny, touching and intelligent. “Community” struggled a bit to find its voice during this first season, but by the time they got to the “epic” paintball episode, all the pieces were solidly in place.
Don’t miss the beginning of this journey! Get the DVD. It’s the next best thing to enrolling in Greendale Community College yourself!

So as I’m waiting for a release date for the first season of NBC’s new show community, I thought I would write a review of the first season. I can not recommend this show enough. The first view episodes are a little rough as the cast was struggling with where they wanted the show to go and their chemistry, but by the end of the season I found myself not able to wait a week for the next episode. Many people have problems with Chevy Chase, but I thought he really brought the show together and was just flat out hilarious. While the main character Jeff (Joel McHale) is enough to keep you entertained, he is joined by an incredibly talented and hilarious cast. Middle-aged divorcée Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown), and Britta Perry(Gillian Jacobs) a mid-twenties woman returning to school who plays Jeff’s main love interest are among other main characters. Along with them are Troy and Abed (who together deliver a very amusing bromance), a high school graduate who lost her scholarship after an addiction to adderall, and of course, the ever funny Pierce Hawthorne(Chevy Chase) a retired older man who is for some random reason back at community college. Ken Jeong joins the cast in the second episode as the students mentally insane spanish teacher, Senor Chang.
This show never gets old, especially with guest actors such as Jack Black , Owen Wilson, and Katharine McPhee. I can not recommend this show enough!

In my opinion, Community is amazing! The writing is witty, the characters are great, and it is just genuinely enjoyable to watch. It is great to see Chevy Chase again, and he is hysterical! Abbed may be one of the greatest television characters ever created. If you like the office or 30 rock, you’ll probably love this show. If you don’t, you still may love this show. Give it a shot!
I, along with many other people I know, were thrilled with this show from the beginning. Some others that I know needed a little bit of time to get acquainted with the characters before they really got into it. So I urge you, if you’re a little skeptical after the pilot give it a chance for another episode or two.

This show is UNBELIEVABLY FUNNY. So you can compare your taste to mine, here are the other shows I watch regularly: How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, The Office, Parks & Rec, House, Lost, The Mentalist, and 24. With Community, I was hooked from the first episode.
What makes this show great? Rapid-fire wit (emphasis on rapid-fire … and equal emphasis on wit!), great writing, an innately funny premise that leaves itself open to endless hilarious storylines (the show peeks into the lives of an eclectic, neurotic, lovable, unlikely group of friends at a community college), perfect comedic timing, brilliant characters the likes of which you haven’t seen on TV in a long time, and an ensemble cast with real, natural chemistry (their performances are often applause-worthy). Last but not least, the comedy on this show is INTELLIGENT. It will appeal to you if you’re pop-culturally literate and enjoy smart humor.
Community never fails to deliver. The LEAST funny episodes of this show are still far funnier than most of the standard fare out there. And the MOST funny episodes of this show will challenge your continence. Yes, it’s really that good.
