This episode was funny. It is clearly written by hollywood about hollywood, with alot of references to movies, and tv. Particularly from the 80's. I think it has the potential for being a great series. Or falling flat by beating the same jokes and themes to death.

It has a Bill Murray, John Candy, Chevy Chase Movie from the 80's feeling. It does this with deliberate self mocking by labeling various moments with Movies reference.

I liked it. The cast is large so hopefully they will expand in possibilities of the various characters and situations and not let it become old in 3 episodes.

I love this show! It makes you think of how things were when we were back in school. It's funny and has a kind of feel like Parks and The Office yet, They are not tied to an office so they can do more with the show.

Community is a writers show. It almost feels like an exercise for professional TV watchers. They deftly explore tropes and modern conventions that most viewers take for example. I cannot recommend this show enough. Definitely one of the smartest shows on television today.

Yes, they rip them off, or parody them, or copy them; but they do it in such a clever way that you forget that they are borrowing plots, or settings, or themes... It is creative, witty, and fun. I love this effin show!

The pilot episode of "Community" holds a lot of promise for an intelligent and witty sitcom. No spoilers from me; the show centers on Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), a fast talking lawyer who has been suspended by the State Bar for not having a real degree. This first episode introduces all of the major characters and through a clever plot device gives us some of their background biographies as well.

I was somewhat surprised to find Chevy Chase playing Pierce, an older student with a poor understanding of modern rules of behavior towards women. This could be an interesting character if allowed to develop.

Hopefully the rest of the season will be as good as this one.

I had no idea what this show was about but decided to watch it and see. I found it amusing. The characters are somewhat stereotypical but the acting is good. I would watch another episode, although my college days are long over and normally do not reminisce about the times. I was an older studious student type with an agenda and did minimal socializing. I found the sororities too demanding for the amount of support and friendship they offer. This is the other side of college life where the students learn more about themselves and life from each other than the courses offered at the institution can teach them. The writers clearly have a sense of humor and that's something everyone needs to get through life easily.

I liked this. Unsure because reviewers in the papers like it so much and they are usually so tragically wrong. It may slide downhill, but I like the cast - especially "Jeff". Thank you, Amazon, for the introduction.

Wow, no wonder they showed this episode for free. It was great, and shows a whole lot of potential. All of the characters are likable and the dialogue is very clever and witty. I can't wait for Doctor Ken's character to be introduced!

This was so funny, I found myself LOL randomly throughout the episode. It's part Breakfast Club (even without the direct references),part The Office, with a Splash of Seinfeld-like humor. "Annie Adderol" is my favorite, but all of the characters are likable and possess a complexity that I can't wait to watch unravel. I found myself thinking that each of them is similar to specific people in my life.

It's refreshing to watch a show about real people, with real writing, as opposed to some of the crap that's on TV right now. I haven't wached NBC regularly since Friends ended, but I think I can make an exception for Community. It's about time!

One of the funniest shows I have seen in a long time! I can't wait for more episodes!
