Thursday night marks the send-off for “Community” season 5, and potentially the series itself with “Basic Sandwich.” Sadly, we’ve been in shoes like this before with the show. Even if viewers and some people at NBC like it, the ratings still aren’t great. The relative success of “About a Boy” and “Growing Up Fisher” complicate […]
There are few things with “Community” that we can really qualify as surprises anymore, and one of them is finding out that there may be some sort of secret area of Greendale that was previously undiscovered by the current committee. Given that we just had a lengthy story about whether Nicolas Cage was good or […]
Thursday’s night’s episode of “Community” was the first part of the season finale, and also a pretty silly episode about the grand takeover of Greendale Community College by Subway. There were times where we wondered if it was too esoteric, but the story at the center of it all was very entertaining: The Save Greendale […]

The headline of this ratings story is a sad one: The idea of “six seasons and a movie” for “Community” is starting to slowly slip away. The latest ratings for Thursday night show the series at yet another series low, and this one is the sort that few series typically survive with. The rating that […]
“Community” tonight was weird … but did you really expect anything else? Abed’s storyline may be one of the strangest things that we have ever seen on this show, and that’s saying something when you remember some of the stuff that the show has put on the air over the years. Sometimes, being strange is […]
“Community” is getting very close now to wrapping up its fifth season, but before we look forward to Thursday night’s “Basic Story” (which is the penultimate episode of the year), let’s take another look back at “G.I. Jeff.” As we said this our review last week, this was either an episode that you really loved […]
Danny Pudi has had a great opportunity the past fives years to play one of the most-iconic comedy characters out there in Abed Nadir … so is it possible that there could be a sixth? The “Community” renewal debate is something that all fans are familiar with right now, and we’re right in the middle […]
Going into Thursday night’s “Community” episode “G.I. Jeff,” our expectations were a little mixed. Typically, the show’s animated episodes are extremely funny, but when you are doing something as specific as referencing “G.I. Joe,” it’s a little bit riskier. We never watched the cartoon as a kid, and felt like most of the references would […]
Season 5 of “Community” has been a great collection of episodes so far, and definitely has been worlds ahead of the “gas leak year” that we had on the show in early 2013. There is stronger comedy, better characters, and Dan Harmon back in the saddle with Chris McKenna to make sure that the entire […]
The last time that Subway had a dalliance with a show airing on NBC, it was for “Chuck” in an effort to keep the show on the air. Over time, the show and fans were so grateful that it practically became another character. So is the relationship between “Community‘ and the sandwich shop going to be […]
