Community! We've had the first twelve episodes air here in Australia and I am a little bit hooked. Well, pretty hooked. I really love it!

It's a lot of fun! And it has a lot of genuine affection for all of its characters and it doesn't rely on embarrassment squick humor either, which I really appreciate. I really *like* all of the characters (except for Pierce, but I don't think we're supposed to like him) and that's generally not something that's true for me in sitcoms or often comedy in general, even the ones I do enjoy.

That is exactly why I like it! Anything that pokes fun at its people is sort of a gentle, lovable humor - you end up caring about them. Their treatment of Abed is a good barometer for that, I think - he could have ended up being treated so differently.

Yes, exactly. I tend to feel like the audience is supposed to laugh *with* the characters and not *at* them. Not always, of course, and it has a few questionable moments, but in general I think that's true.

Yay for fun and relaxation! You deserve it. <3

and I sort of adore it, which is fun considering that I can list the number of sitcoms I have ever liked enough to seek out and watch on purpose on the fingers of one hand, so I'm always pleasantly surprised and pleased when one works for me.
Dude, I know! I never would have checked out this show if it wasn't for John Oliver, and I'm so glad he was attached to this project. Well done, Community.

I didn't even know he was in it until I started watching it! But it was a pleasant surprise. :)

Hahahaha, thanks. /o\ You would think this would be a skill I would have developed at my last job, but apparently not.

That's ok! I think I have some of it, I just haven't really listened to it much. /o\
