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.

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

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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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

I watched that after the Firefly clips, so technically, it wasn't my primary impetus.

You know what I did cave and watch with your recommendations directly in mind, bon? Archer. And I'm enjoying the fuck out of it. I should listen more, fine.
But, Jesus, it's so fucking wrong.
