I think the fact that there was no study room scenes kind of irked me. It's usually what anchors each episode and not having them in this one made it feel flat to me.

I didn't even notice this. You're right, the study room goes a long way toward making it feel like 'Community'.

EDIT: I guess they had the study room in Abed TV (from memory) but I don't think that really counts.

Agree, started happening last season too.

Not a bad episode, but I won't be able to handle a continuation of Abed TV. It sucked.

I actually liked Abed TV (and Greendale Babies was awesome) but I got the feeling it was a one-episode joke, not a continuing theme. Abed had his big realisation at the end that change is OK, that should be the end of that.

Continuing themes this year look like being:
- Troy and Britta (vs Troy and Abed)
- Annie wanting Jeff (lucky bastard)
- The dean's infatuation with Jeff reaching ridiculous levels :(
- The increasing possibility that this is the final season.
 
Damn, less than 4 million, that ain't good at all.

Actually for NBC, the numbers were ok. It'll drop next week is the problem

I don't get the hate for the episode, it was better than most of season 3 but its almost people like to find a way of hating a show
 
It was like the West Wing the season after Sorkin left. It didn't feel the same, especially the dialogue. Fortunately for the West Wing it got better. Hope the same happens here.
 
worst episode agreed, this will be the last season if that's anything to go by, I'm starting to get sick of it now, they need to be actually be funny like season 1 & 2 and stop with the cartoon crap etc.. Im sick of Abed and his scenarios. There characters are getting dull- same old Britta and her weird thing she does, same old Jeff's annoying self centered attitude. Same old Ahbed with his mental issues. Its boring, they need to develop the characters in a different way this season. This shows is one of my favorites but if they keep doing the same shit episode's like these. I will stop watching.

No more Abed episodes.

Good point.

After thinking about it I have come to the realisation that Abed TV wasn't that bad, it was just that I thought Scrubs did the whole sitcom parody thing so much better. The bar was set too high imo.

And Drawn Together did a whole Muppet Babies parody episode which was hilarious.

The Greendale Babies bit was tacky and very awkard to watch.

The gay/Pierce/Pierce's dad ep was the worst one imo.

This episode wasn't great but every season the show always takes a couple of episodes before it gets really funny.

And Abed TV wasn't supposed to be funny. That'sthejoke.jpg
 
Community jumped the shark the minute the writers decided it would be a good idea to have the dean wear a new costume every episode.

It's ironic that they parodied cheap shows like TBBT and 2&1/2M when Community is starting to go down that road of going for a cheap, uninspired laugh.
 
nah it was just the live stream i was watching that was dogshit. the eztv release is fine

I don't suppose you (or anyone) could talk me though this? I managed to get to this page and clicked download. I ended up with two files, one was supposedly the episode and something called TornTV. Neither of which did anything. I am doing it right?

Or is there a better place to download this? Shits me just because we don't live in the US, we can't obtain this through legitimate means (Amazon, iTunes, etc). I mean WTF, do they want my $2.99 or not?
 
Just read through a massive portion of that Reddit page where the writers answered fan questions.. well worth a read. Some great insights and just makes you appreciate it even more!

Also the writers have some glimmer of hope for at least Season 5! So thats encouraging at least..

Cant wait for the next episode.

I didn't hate it, found it pretty funny in parts, but it also felt strange in others. I don't know if it was because it is the first episode of Community I've watched on my computer as opposed to DVD (little things like this really bug me) or because most of the cast have visibly aged since season three (this kind of made it feel like a reunion ep to me). I hate the fact that I'm about to overanalyse a sitcom that I love, but here goes.

I liked the opening credits to Abed's Happy Community College Show (evil Abed!) and enjoyed the randomness of Fred Willard playing Pierce. Was Abed TV filmed after Chevy left? Greendale Babies was great IMO.

Jeff being isolated from the group for most of the episode felt odd, and he punched Leneord in the head. Wtf? The dean moving in next door could have potential

I thought Troy/Bitta was done well and enjoyed the pond scene. So it was Britta that moved into the Dreamatorium room (I thought this was the case but read something the other week that said it was Troy).

Annie and Shirley were the same as always, nothing has changed there. I so have to try the popcorn prank, but surely it would take hours to work (if at all?). Seeing the "Shirley's Sandwiches" sign in the background was a nice touch.

Biggest laugh for me was right at the end.... "Hello, my name is Kevin and I have Changnesia." This will be epic. Wtf happened to Chang in the vents at City College? Just when I was thinking in my head "where the **** is Chang?" and bang, there he is, naked.
 
The episode was OK.

Those declaring it the "worst ever" have very short memories. Community is pretty inconsistent at times and we just remember the best.

FWIW, I think the Todd episode last season was by far the worst.
