I'm the same with a really easily triggered embarisment squick, I can't even watch a full ep of The Office at all, and I never miss a moment of Community! Love it to bits. I think in the two years its' been on, I've had to skip maybe 10 seconds due to embarisment squick, which is unheard of, even in other sitcoms I watch (rare thought they are), like Big Bang Theory. I am still suprised that Troy won the match, espeicaly over Abed, but he does grow on you a lot. After the ep he did this season guest starring Lavar Burton, I get pretty close to understanding him winning the fandom match. He was AWESOME in that. The actor totaly deserves a Golden Globe nod for it.
And the credits do go away for most of S1, though they pop up every now and then, but they're back in S2 every ep. And every now and then, they get changed up to to better suit an episode's storyline. Like the drawings become halloween themed and such. In S1, they had to cut them to make room for the Troy & Abed shorts at the end of the eps, but in S2, they were able

Troy suddenly goes through a lot of development late in season 1 and into season 2; I didn't notice him much in early season 1 beyond "hmm, hot" but at this point he's seriously my favourite character on currently-airing TV.
It tickles me pink to see a big swath of my Flist succumbing to the awesomeness that is Community one by one. I guess we have the FMM to thank for! Abed is probably the breakthrough character of the show. My understanding is that Abed represented Community in last year's FMM, so the fans decided to rally around Troy this time, and they mounted a hell of a campaign. But a win for Troy is a win for Abed as well, because Troy + Abed = an unbreakable unit. I guarantee that you'll get to love Troy if you keep watching -- he grows a lot as a character in the second half of season 1 and especially in season 2. And Donald Glover has *brilliant* comic timing.
The good thing about the show is that each ep is only 22 mins long and you only have 1 1/2 season to catch up on. It's also a bad thing because you can mainline is very quickly, and afterward, you feel dejected because there is no more new Community. Wahhhh.
COMMUNITY! I love it! I'm so glad you're on board because it's an awesome train ride and they have their moments of pure cheese and look away, yes, but they have so much more to make up for it, too. And the emotional ties keep getting better and no one lives in a bubble and they expect you to remember Old Stuff in newer episodes. So, SO GOOD. (BTW, the D&D episode has the absolute best intro credits evar.)
