Last week's episode was the best thing on TV since the end of Arrested Development. The Pool stuff was a bit much, but everything with white/brown Abed was amazing.

Hooray!

I'm happy. I didn't like the pool episode, tbh, but the one before it was the best. Troy grinding on Chang was hilarious.

Community definitely gets too self-referential and it becomes off-putting, almost as bad as how every episode of Modern Family ends with some sort of lesson/recap. I don't know why I dislike that in Modern Family and not in The Inbetweeners, but I do. Modern Family is still great if only for Phil.

Yeah. I've read the cast members talk about how the show's creator has had a very definite idea of the characters right from the get-go ("he's got such an amazing vision" blah blah), and I think it shows.

It's not like 30 Rock, where the first season came across like a feeling-out process, and they weren't sure how to use all the characters, or even which ones would be the center of the show.

I dunno how that'll play out in the long run. I really like the show but I can see how it would grate on some people.

Yep. Just Shoot Me, Suddenly Susan, and Veronica's Closet got picked up for additional seasons by NBC.

According to the logic of Community fans, I guess that means that they were quality shows

Don't forget Caroline in the City!

Agreed re: the Community storylines, they're blowing through them. I dont think there will be much left past a second season.

Now Better Off Ted deserved more time, i feel they only scratched the tip of that iceberg.

This is why, instead of having a 5-6 seasons, Community should just be a solid 2-3. A great tv show with great 2-3 seasons > a tv show that was great for maybe two seasons and is now a shadow of its former self and will only continue to air until the creators just think it's not popular enough to support anymore.

So yeah, The Office sucks now.

what was the official jumping the shark for you? For me it was them getting married really fucking quickly. Or was it the buying the house? I don't know. It was all rushed and pretty bad.

I dunno, man. I just haven't been able to watch the show since like season 3.

But I guess if I were to nail an official jumping the shark point, it's the wedding. Not because of the actual wedding itself, but because that's where the show should have ended.

Watching the baby episode last week confirmed that yes - the office has indeed jumped the shark. Any time a comedy show introduces a baby into the mix, it has jumped the shark.

Those of you who think Community sucks, when did you watch it? At the beginning of the season? It had a really rocky start there. Some episodes weren't even remotely funny, but eventually they hit their sweet spot and it's been hilarious ever since.

Like are they pregnant or did they full on give birth already?

I think it really should have ended when Jim busts in at the end of season 4 I think? and asks Pam if she wants to go to dinner. Seriously. We knew what was going to happen right then and there.

I mean there were still a lot of funny moments after, but the actual story was dead. It was on fucking life support. What's next? Someone is going to try to seduce them? They're going to separate? They're going to get back together? They're going to have doubts but stay together? adjfadkjf they trapped themselves in a corner with the story. They decided to center the whole show around Jim and Pam's relationship and then when they got them together there's nowhere to go except down the cliche path.

I saw that NBC intended to Friends-ify The Office from the first few episodes. I bailed after the third or fourth episode. Community is lucky that The Office is being used as the Friends replacement, so it doesn't have execs forcing Jeff/Brita romance into every episode. It has only flirted here and there with the inter-character romance that tends to get out of hand and ruin light-hearted shows.
