    Fully loaded DVD set of a fantastic freshman season, September 23, 2010

    I’m not going to spend much time talking about how much I like Community. The first season, like most, has some ups and downs but it quickly proved itself to be a bitingly funny comedy that could easily hang with the other Thursday night big boys on NBC.

    That being said, this DVD set has ruined me for all other television shows. There are outtakes, alternative scenes, producer’s cuts, mini episodes, a highlight reel, two featurettes, and 25 commentaries with the cast/crew (that’s one for each episode). Clearly a lot of love has gone into this show AND the DVD content. Of course, how can I look at other shows the same way again? Most can’t even match up to half of what this set offers.

    Right now, Amazon is selling this for 17.99, and you can get 5 dollars off if you put in the code SONYFIVE. Even if you were paying retail price for this, you’d be getting a MAJOR steal. Buy this to not only support Community and its creators, but to support how truly great DVD can be with the right amount of effort involved.

    Funniest show on TV., April 5, 2010

    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.

    I feel a little like I’m cheating, writing a review 19/25 episodes through the season. However, I can strongly recommend Season 1 of Community to anyone who enjoys comedy. The show utilizes a talented cast – not just Joel McHale and Alison Brie, but everyone – for a fun mix of subtle and over-the-top humor. Although it took an episode or two to get up and running, once the writers had a chance to introduce the characters Community’s been consistently funny ever since. I laughed more at “Introduction to Statistics” and the past several post-Olympics episodes than anything since The Norm Show.

    Community doesn’t merely get the easy jokes right, either; the writers and actors do an impressive job with some fairly subversive jokes about race, sex, etc. On top of all that, Community manages to be an upbeat show, which is a pleasant change of pace from stuff like It’s Always Sunny… (which I also enjoy). I wouldn’t go so far as to say it “makes you think,” but Season 1 has been a joy to laugh along with!
