Community: season 1, episode 10
"Environmental Science"
November 20, 2009 - 02:11a.m.
As it wraps up its appearances in November sweeps, Community is really on a roll. That's, by my count, four straight really good episodes, with at least three of them being all-time keepers (especially last week's terrific half ...

Community: season 1, episode 9
"Debate 109"
November 13, 2009 - 01:11a.m.
"Debate 109" is the best episode of Community so far, and it shows that not only can the show tell funny stories about amusing characters, but it can tell new KINDS of funny stories about those characters. If it figures ...

"Home Economics"
November 5, 2009 - 08:11p.m.
First of all, my apologies if I get any of the below wrong. I rely heavily on a DVR while writing these things, but this week, I’m hanging out in my hometown where my parents’ DVR only records one ...

Community: season 1, episode 7
"Introduction to Statistics"
October 29, 2009 - 11:10p.m.
“What the hell, VanDerWerff?” some of you have been saying, in so many words. “Community is awesome! Why do you keep giving it B’s!” To that I say, yes, Community is awesome, and I keep giving it B’s ...

Community: season 1, episode 6
"Football, Feminism and You"
October 22, 2009 - 11:10p.m.
“Football, Feminism and You” is the second of the two Community episodes that’s been bouncing around the NBC schedule for a while now, and while it isn’t as disappointing as last week’s episode, it still feels like ...

Community: season 1, episode 5
"Advanced Criminal Law"
October 15, 2009 - 11:10p.m.
“Advanced Criminal Law” looks like it was originally scheduled to air a little earlier in the season and then got bumped back to this week for some reason, and it’s pretty clearly the most inconsistent episode of Community yet ...

Community: season 1, episode 4
"Social Psychology"
October 9, 2009 - 01:10a.m.
In the past couple of weeks, the Internets have been swarmed by people arguing vociferously in comments boards (other than this one, for some reason) over whether or not Community or Modern Family is the big new comedy of the ...

Community: season 1, episode 3
"Introduction to Film"
October 2, 2009 - 01:10a.m.
It’s taken all of three weeks, but even after this episode – probably the weakest the show has done yet – I’m starting to really fall for Community and fall hard. It’s been a long while since I’ve ...

Community: season 1, episode 2
"Spanish 101"
September 25, 2009 - 12:09a.m.
I am not, by my nature, a “laugher.” I can appreciate a well-told joke, but usually with a smile and a nod. I may laugh politely in public, but I spend a lot of time finding things funny without actually ...

Community: season 1, episode 1
"Pilot"
September 17, 2009 - 06:09p.m.
Community debuts tonight at 9:30 p.m. EDT/8:30 p.m. CDT on NBC.
In a lot of ways, Community reminds me of Glee. Both swing wildly between bitingly sarcastic and sweetly winning with little indication that they ...
