Geez, now I'm going to pack Season 1 of Community when I head to Vegas in a few hours in hopes of converting my fiance's family! (So far, I've shown them the beauty of Better off Ted and The IT Crowd).

Oh, and I got a smartphone for my birthday and my new ringtone is the Parks and Rec theme song! (I'm having waaay to much fun with ringtones and notification sounds!)

I was hesitant about Community because I really didn't like Jeff in the pilot and almost turned it off about half way through he was just so smarmy and unappealing. But I stuck through and now I think it's brilliant.

I watched teh first 4 episodes and then Will came over and so I watched them again with him. The little end bits are the best.

askye, I had the same reaction + was bored at the pilot. That's why i gave the show up. Then I saw paintball and got sucked right in.

Yeah, I was meh on the pilot and decided not to keep watching the first time. I had thought that I watched a couple more episodes that first season, but when I watched the DVDs I didn't remember anything so I guess not.

I hadn't watched any of it, but kept seeing it being mentioned flatteringly. My only sitcom was Raising Hope, though, and I was pretty content with that. Then the # of mentions on IO9 of geek-friendly content became too much, and by the time they revealed the Firefly death pact, I just had to go look. I was home sick for a day, mainlined season 1, and now I'm a raging raving born-again Community fan, probably one of the worst kinds.

I have to admit, the Chase factor kept me away, and probably would have kept doing so, if people here hadn't been talking about it.

I find I like Chevy Chase even less after becoming a Community fan¹, but I can handle Pierce appropriately. I don't find him a Rygel (which I never quite forgave Farscape for), because even though he's despicable, it does seem to be clear why he's a regular. I do miss Chang a bit, since they toned him down this season. That's the kind of nasty I'm wholeheartedly behind.

¹: I skip the commentaries he's on, and I don't watch much cast stuff that he appears in. He just spoils it for me.

Since the show doesn't need me to like Pierce, I mind Chevy less than I thought I would. He doesn't even ruin the commentaries for me, though he doesn't add value.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with this.
