Man, I quote Jerry Minor every time I say "Life is precious and God and the Bible," which I'm sure reaches the triple digits in any given year.

Epic, yeah, the negotiations were wonderful. Sheldon and Amy are a dream team. I also adore Bernadette and Raj (not as a couple, as separate characters).

Haven't had a chance to watch "Parks and Rec" or "Community" yet. Need to get on that.

They just re-ran the episode with their "Bollywood" number the other night, I stopped what I was doing (in another room) to watch. So awesome.

Aw, shoot, I missed it - and I love that episode.

Sheldon yelling at Howard and Leonard was hilarious, the look on Parson's face when they did cuddle.. so funny.

Community was aces last night. I am so glad that we didn't delete it from the DVR, since I watched it again this afternoon.

Because books.

Jean, Community is fantastic.

I'm surprised how much I'm liking 30 Rock. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are amazing, and the stuff says Jack Donaghy is brilliant.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So, if I was to finally give up on catching up on previous seasons of Community and just watch what's currently available on Hulu, would I be missing out on crucial backstory or otherwise diminishing the goodness?

Mostly I think you'll be missing a lot of the inside jokes, like why it was funny in this year's Halloween ep that Troy wanted to go to the school Halloween party to eat the taco meat the dean bought, rather than anything major arc wise.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Was the taco meat a reference to something?

Oh, duh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's the sort of show that rewards (and encourages) rewatching anyway, so you'll get the jokes soon enough. Probably ones we missed the first time round too. They're pretty jam packed.

Oh, good. I am jumping in. And if I can ever manage to watch a few DVDs, Season 1 is up next in the Netflix queue.
