Do you need any more reasons to watch Community?
Yes.


Okay, here's a few:

-It's hilarious.
-It's one of the smartest shows on network TV right now.
-It's got a great ensemble cast.
-It's amazingly self-aware, but not in a smug way.
-The way it uses movie parodies is downright brilliant (eg. this paintball episode, or the episodes this season that parodied zombie movies and space movies).

I could go on, but I'll just say that Community is one of the best shows on TV right now, and that I pity the fool that isn't watching it. The first few episodes were kind of so-so, but it's really developed into something special.

I've never regretted not relying on network television sitcoms for my comedic needs. Books and movies do the job well. For one thing, network sitcoms all tend to be jealously formulaic. Individual episodes also tend to be silo'd to prevent any sort of character-arc from developing because, well, we can't have that in a comedy, can we? The last good network sitcom I've ever seen was Arrested Development, which at least made an earnest attempt to buck these boring conventions. And look at the show now...oh wait, it was cancelled.

However, in the years spent here, I've learned that Sarzy and I have very comparable tastes in movies, which counts for quite a lot, so his endorsement has prompted me to check this show out.

Cheers!

(Not Cheers the TV show, I meant Cheers in the goodbye/thanks/good job combo.)
