Let's set one thing straight, if you are a fan of comedy you need to watch Community.


  1. It’s funny. I mean, I don’t know, maybe you like to watch comedies and not laugh. That’s cool, I guess. But if you like to laugh at comedies and, you know, find them funny, this is the show for you. Because it’s funny.
  2. It’s smart. I know what you’re thinking, “But I watch The Big Bang Theory! It says smart things, doesn’t that make it smart?” Uhhhh…not quite. There’s a difference between clever television and television that happens to have nerds on it. Sorry.
  3. Ensemble cast. There are few things I love more in television shows that a true ensemble cast, and WHAT a cast this is. This is one of those shows where I think I would rather chop off one of my own legs than have to pick a favorite character. They are all well-rounded, well thought-out, and hysterically funny. Oh, and one is now an Oscar winner.
  4. Storylines about things you love. Blanket forts? Check. Pulp Fiction? Check. Claymation? Check. Hating Glee? Check. Epic paintball wars? Check Check. And so much more.
  5. It’s for everyone. I think the show has a reputation for having a very young audience, which I’d say is true (and not a bad thing); but I would just like to point out that it’s still enjoyable for all ages. Case in point: my parents love it—they’re actually the ones that first got me to really get into the show. Some people also worry that they won’t enjoy the show because they won’t catch all of its notorious pop culture references, but I’m going to use my mom as an example here (hi Mom!). My mom is not someone that keeps up with very much TV and certainly not with pop culture trivia, and still loves it. Just throwing that out there.
  6. It’s for you pop culture nerds out there. I know you’re there. Don’t get me wrong—as I said in reason #5, everyone can enjoy and love Community; but I do have to say the love will be that much sweeter if you’re a pop culture nerd that lives for quirky references and full-on movie allegories. You’re gonna love it.

I've heard good things about Community, unfortunately yet to actually watch it thusfar.

Big shows for me recently:
  • Breaking Bad - ugh I know, everyone's been watching it, but it's easily the best TV show I've ever seen. Since I don't have a big TV background, the idea of a "never ending movie" is really unappealing, Breaking Bad's story arch has been consistent and it just feels like one really consistently great long movie.
  • 30 Rock - unfortunately cancelled now, but AMAZING show
  • Parks and Recreation - this show is AWESOME, and unlike most shows, they make things funny because people care, rather than the other way around, which is way too tired and overused
  • Workaholics - hits the same kind of concept as Parks and Rec, at their core they're very similar

Currently I'm watching One Piece on Hulu and Walking Dead(one of the few book-to-screen transitions that went well) on AMC. Not everyone should see One Piece, but most should see Walking Dead.

I don't know how far your in, so no spoilers: I love Breaking Bad, before it's recent cancellation it was easily the best show on television. The smallest things foreshadow the largest events and the saga of Gustavo Fringe is just fucking amazing.
