my "manually marked seen" plays don't count in the highscore. That is just mean!
Still waiting for that movie!
So many layers to this show ! 10/10 #sixseasonsandamovie
REMEMBER: When this show was originally airing on NBC's Thursday night lineup, it was the MOST DVRed show EVER on television...however, time-shifted views were NOT counted by Nielsen ratings system.
According to Nielsen's, the most watched TV show at the same time was the malignant "Big Bang Theory."
That means that, at the same time Community was setting records in time-shifted watches, the "most-watched while airing" show about "nerds," Big Bang Theory was really only popular with people who were too dumb to know how to set their DVRs to record it.
If Nielsen had been counting actual views instead of only counting self-reported views on the air-date of a show, then Community would have rightfully lasted longer and had more influence and that pile of garbage that is "Big Bang Theory" wouldn't never have gone on to make the world even stupider than it was without it.
First 4 seasons are perfect. Last 2 seasons awful.
I love this show with all my heart. Its one of the best pieces of media that got me through the pandemic. Let's hope that the movie will actually happen! #sixseasonsandamovie
I've watched this too many times to count at this point...
6 seasons and a movie....... PLEASE?!?!
Sadly It's way too underrated
Just rewatch (again, 5th time I think) and have to say what I never expressed right, the shows is good till the 4 season, 5 season starts its downfall though still good. But this is one of my favorites. The IT Crowd is on pair with the first seasons of Community, though one of my favorites is Fawlty Towers.... or Fawrty Towels, Farty Towwels....
Where's that goddamn movie already??
So McHale say's it has been cancelled by Yahoo now after the 6th season... can we have the movie now please? Kickstarter maybe? I'm game.
Six seasons and a movie!
#SixSeasonsAndAMovie is real!!! Yahoo just renewed it!
One of the best short comedies around.
how can someone watch 50 episodes, 189 times??
it's so good it's so good it's so gooooood!!!
A few thoughts after I rewatched the show in 2024:
-Community is one of the greatest shows of all time.
-Britta, Abed, Chang and Professor Buzz Hickey are amazing characters with incredible actors playing them.
-Season 4 is not as bad as many people write. For me season 4 is good as season 3 is.
-Season 1 to 4 are each a 10 for me. Maybe 1 and 2 are a little bit better than 3 and 4.
-Season 5 is the best season of all of them
-Season 6 is the "worst" of all seasons. Part of it because the character of Francesca dosen't work for me.
"I don't like Community" okay? and I don't like your stupid little face what about it
Love this show but for me it loses a lot after Pierce got cut. I’ve seen the seasons with Pierce about twice as many times as the seasons without him, it just isn’t the same. Much like with The Office after Michael left, most of my viewings of Community stop after Pierce has “died”, I just can’t get into the seasons without him.
Still though, this is a fantastic show that every fan of comedy should watch at least once.
those who get it, get it. not a serious show, and there's absolutely nothing to connect to. I can see why some people don't like it, but for me, it's everything a person could possibly want in a TV show.
the only problem is that some characters leave the show too early (duncan, shirley, troy), but besides that, it's a perfect series
Community is a really remarkable and unique show for what it is. It's constantly pushing the limits of a sitcom and often breaches into other genres. Though it definitely has its major upside and downs, most notably in later seasons, I would go as far to say it's one of the best shows of its time
Great show, wished we got into it when it was still on a hype. Enjoyed the full run, and I'd watch it again!
Other than season four, this show is perfect.
Dan Harmon, you sunnofabitch, you did it again, Im in. Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Now lets make a pillow, no a blanket fort. Erase that, let`s have a 50.000 US$ dollars paintball match.
This show is for those that like flawed likable and developing characters with some surrealism thrown into the mixture. The comedy is similar to Rick and Morty, however, lighter. The episodes, at least in the first 3 seasons, are excellent.
can a show get better than this?
Wow...I watched all episodes until a week...and it was AWESOME! Community is one of the best tv shows I´ve ever seen in my life...and there are a lot of tv shows in my watchlist! 10/10
#SixSeasonsAndAMovie
Oh yeah! Can't wait.
Finally！！3 days to go！Six seasons and a movie！
I'm so glad this has its own personalised "Streets Ahead" for a 10/10 rating. One of the best things on TV that's not on TV.
That is a comedy series. Don't miss it. Dat Troy...
It's my favorite show in the last year,some reports said the show was killed,I'm really really sad about it,but this app shows it still has season 5,wish it's true.
Season 4 was meh and losing Troy was a big blow but I still love this show.
This the best serial I've ever seen in my whole life..!!! Feeling depressed that its finished...
Yahoo renewed community yesss
Can't believe he really end
I was hoping for season 6.... and of course then a movie. And just now I found out it got cancelled. Guys, I will miss you so much (except season 4).... and a farewell to the Dean. Will miss the costume/crazy idea of the week from him.
This is one f the best shows on tv, excluding season 4.
This serie is amazing !
My favorite comedy show.
Six seasons and a movie!!!!!
PLEASE.
Cool...Cool, Cool, Cool!
This show is streets ahead.
It's all downhill after season 2.
Drop off in fourth season.
This show was fantastic, even through season 3 when it fell a bit it was still the best show out there. But now it is nothing more than an empty shell of its former glory. There's no emotion, it isn't very funny, the tv references aren't clever in any way, it's none of the neurotic crazy stuff that Dan Harmon did so well. Unless there's a big turn around soon, it's time to let it die.
uhm so... since when is community's rating of 10 called "streets ahead"? <3
great show with brilliant ideas
loved it
6 seasons and a movies
One of the best comedy show ever :D
All I can say is, this show is Meta.
Can't believe it took me 3yrs to watch this show, its truly amazing!
Just finished with Season 1 and this show is hilarious from all frontiers... Pierce is the best character for sure, his witty remarks are genius. Best episode of season 1 is the paintball one.
This episode is freaking awesome!
Love it! (via tvQ iPhone App)
Pure genius! (via tvQ iPhone App)
Darkness, you are wrong. Watch the new episodes again ;-P
Best comedy nowadays.
I'm streets behind. It's been on my watchlist for a while. About the sixth episode in, something snapped and I'm burning through them at any available time I have.
Someone here is streets behind.
think its getting boring now!
I'm going to eat spaceman paninis with black Hitler and there's nothing you can do about it!!!
Six Season and a Movie , P.S the last three seasons weren't that bad
There is a reason this show has a cult following; this is one of the most creative and hilarious shows I've ever watched, while still somehow being easy to manage. However, with the show peaking at seasons 2 and 3, and seasons 4,5, and 6 not being as good, I must dock it down by one rating level.
This series is amazing. Hands down the best sitcom i have watched.EVER. The ending was one of the best endings i have seen for a tv show and it had me depressed for like a week. Highly recommend
And it's back! I'm starting to think that the shows I watch are partially immune to cancellation (Community, Primeval, The Killing (US))!
Vince Gilligan is in da house!
Great show, I've grown more and more respect for it over the years. But it's not going to be around in the current form for much longer I'm afraid. Season 5 already has a change of (regular) cast members.
If you didn't start season 4 yet, hear my advice: NOPE, DON'T DO IT TO YOURSELF EVER SEASON 3 IS THE LAST ONE BYE
One of my favorite tv shows, I didn't enjoy the first episode much so give it a few episodes it'll grow on you.
This show was hilarious but I did find some episodes hard to get through. Was sad when Donald Glover left since his character Troy was my favorite but I am glad everyone’s coming back for a community movie. After the departure of Shirley and Troy the show was still enjoyable but the writing wasn't as good or funny as when they were there.
When I first watched Community, it was already off the air, and I binged the entire thing. As I made my way through, it quickly became one of my favorite shows. However, upon rewatching it a few times over the years, it definitely lost some of its luster. While I rated the entirety of the program an eight, I still think that's being generous. In reality, this show was a handful of really great episodes, mainly those w/ a thematic nature, surrounded by a lot of bad television. Over the years, a number of fans leaned on the idea that this was dependent upon Dan Harmon leaving the program as show runner after three seasons, as the fourth season was considered weak in comparison to the first three, and the fifth was a return to greatness. I don't subscribe to this hypothesis, though. I felt that the fourth season, while not in the same tone as the first three, was just as good. The fifth season made changes that didn't fit w/ the current of the program, and as for the sixth, much of that was truly awful television. The ending of the show felt pushed together, b/c for all the Annie-Jeff will they, won't they talk, the reality was that the writers really didn't explore this much beyond the first couple seasons. Yes, there were the furtive glances and off-handed remarks, but in totality, there wasn't much exploration of this storyline. Thus, in the finale, Jeff's outpouring of emotion toward Annie was really out of the blue. And, more than anything, the homophobic jokes and toilet humor by Chang really killed any semblance of a mood. I saw no purpose to those, but it gave me some insight into Dan Harmon's abilities as a writer, and it told me that he really was overhyped. For every great idea he had, he had seven or eight that were unremarkable or outright terrible.
Through all of this, the show was solid throughout the first two seasons and midway through the third, but the writing seemed to take a nosedive at that point. While some of the program's best episodes were aired during the third season, the writers also began leaning heavily into certain characteristics of the characters: Shirley's cloying behavior, Annie's neuroticism, Pierce's political incorrectness, Troy's ridiculousness, Britta's , Abed's tenuous grip on reality, Jeff's superficiality, and worst of all, Chang's full-blown psychopathy and the dean's creepiness.
Recently, it was announced that a Community movie would be produced. I'm not sure how I felt about this, b/c many aspects of this show didn't age well. Dan Harmon also announced that the movie wouldn't rely on aspects of the show that made it really great, such as Dungeons & Dragons or pillow/blanket forts. This might be of concern, if Harmon tried to go w/ old tropes, rather than the fresh takes that made this show great, when it really hit its groove.
Hilarious and unique for its first three seasons, "Community" served as a fresh new look for a quirky sitcom based in a community college. Dan Harmon and the rest of the team help to create some of the most clever and insane episodes of comedic television ever produced, and the loaded main cast keeps the jokes flying for a good while. There are some solid messages throughout the show that build off of friendship, self-acceptance, and community-building. However, the last three seasons are a letdown, especially the final season with its lack of effective humor, flawed casting, poor narrative focus, and terrible character mishandling.
(+) Unique, clever sitcom shenanigans
(+) Good messages in many episodes
(+) Awesome cast with great chemistry despite off-screen drama
(=) Peaks very hard at third season
(-) Atrocious final season
(-) Too much focus on unnecessary love triangle nonsense
Final Verdict: 8.16/10 (Great)
What a great show even many years later. First three seasons 9 or a 10, later ones are a bit less but still end up with an 8 overall. Recommended
Great writing. Brilliant plots. Severely underrated. Would have been a nine but for the weak episodes in the last couple of seasons. Still awaiting the movie.
Man I am gonna miss this show. It was a great story from the beginning to the end, even though they had some changes here and there I adopted to the story and it was worth it. I am ready for that movie.
Seasons 1-3 were brilliant. Season 4 wasn't the train wreck I was expecting. I felt it was a bit scattered at times but managed to find its way to something reasonably watchable. Season 5 had a good beginning, however it absolutely fell apart during the last 3-5 episodes. The saddest part was that I was literally crying with laughter Seasons 1-3, yet I didn't let out a peep during the final 3 episodes.
Ah well. I will remember it for what it truly was - awesome, funny and ridiculous.
This was once a great show...it got bogged down by silly or recycled story-lines. I am going to miss it though, I thought for sure if it got brought back from that horrible 4th season, that it might get #SixSeasonsAndAMovie. I'll miss you, Community! I'll miss that we will never get to see Troy come back a new man, Jeff/Annie get together, and Britta finally take herself seriously.
Probably the best comedy show out there (but then again, I haven't watched season 4 yet)
Currently my favourite comedy show. I hope the fifth season will be better than the fourth was, though, because that one was really bad, to be honest. Might be a little biased, though, because I watched the entire show in one go with the last comedies I watched being The Big Bang Theory and the New Girl Season 3 premiere.
An incredibly charming and hilarious comedy series anchored by a terrible third season after two amazing ones.
Some wonderful characters, few great actors and the first half of season 3 was exceptional.
But overall I expected more and the show should have ended sooner.
The overall premise of the show is incredible. If you're into meta stuff, this show is for you. Although there are several genuinely funny and memorable moments throughout all the seasons, you can certainly tell that the quality of the show started to decrease after season 3. Not in terms of production quality, instead I found the writing a bit disappointing, especially in terms of character development and keeping the essence of the show alive. This was definitely a result of Dan Harmon not being the creator of the show in season 4 and new writers and show creators having to step up and keep the show going, which was most certainly a hard task they were given. Especially Britta and Shirley's character arcs were a bit disappointing, I feel like the writers didn't really know how to add more dimension and likability to the characters. Overall, however, I still feel like this is one of the most unique shows I have ever watched.
Community is a different show for the shake of begin different. Constant fourth wall references quickly started to bother me. And yes there are few gags but to few auctally for a show of 6 seasons. Often time show gets to meta, edgy and weird. Starts as a normal fun sitcom to a something like 'it's alway sunny in Philadelphia ' and not in a nice way. Episode are watchable and I understand the creator decision to pass on the show after 6 season. It's would obviously have started to look repetitive. I feel like for that very same reason they threw original character and introduce new characters in later season but that killed somewhat familiarity in the show. Character always argue and that's what happens most of the time, only few character are given character development choice or at least good believable attempts. To me this show is opposite of 'the office'. In 'the office' out most mundane secen you can have spontaneous jokes because the characters are treated well so there is always something happening that you can watch, but here something insane happens and to stick to level of vewier attention they need to add more insane stuff, and there is that loophole and somewhere between trying to make each episode and season different and top the previous one, familiarity is lost. They do revisit the show hit episodes and remake them in later season, but the fourth wall jokes and meta stuff keep reminding that it's just a show and stop the story from being real. So why 7/10, I guess cause what I said first, it's different.
Average season rating: 7.0
While I could get a more accurate read on how I felt about the series overall by averaging my 110 individual episode ratings, that's far too much work to do manually when I'm supposed to be relaxing with some entertaining TV.
Community is an absolute roller coaster ride, on multiple levels.
First, because of the obvious: As with any sitcom, the "funny quotient" and other aspects of writing quality fluctuate greatly between episodes. Some will have you struggling to avoid falling off your chair; others will have you struggling to stay awake. This is expected.
Second, because of stylistic touches: When Community dives into a conceptual episode, it goes deep. They don't necessarily all hit, but even the ones I don't like (whether because I dislike the genre being spoofed, or the alternative production style, whatever) must be respected for their commitment to the gag.
Third, because the show's entire tone shifts from year to year, mostly in the latter seasons. Honestly, once I got past Season 3, most of the remaining episodes were a bit of a slog. This seems to be a common sentiment among fans—one that the show itself lampshades, especially when it comes to the "Year of the Gas Leak" (Season 4). I'm fairly completionist about my TV, and it takes a lot to make me drop a show midway, but if Season 5 hadn't shown some improvement I very well might have bailed early. A few scattered oases of "the old Community" kept me going through the end.
Finally, the show started switching out core cast members about halfway through. Between failing to work out some offscreen drama involving a certain actor, losing multiple actors to outside career and family constraints, and temporarily replacing the series' creator as showrunner (you guessed it, that was Season 4), Community spent most of its latter half trying to reacquaint the audience with its characters every season. That's not an easy task even in the best circumstances, and it was made harder by the show's season length getting slashed almost in half around the same time as cast members started being replaced.
Make no mistake, though: The show is good… at first. It's worth watching. Early Abed is still one of my favorite characters, but so is Professor Hickey—and until halfway through, there is no Buzz Hickey.
If you're not a completionist: You'll do yourself a favor if you just watch the first three seasons, maybe hand-pick a few of the highest-rated episodes from the latter three seasons just for flavor, and then skip to the Season 6 finale (which, despite the unevenness of that final season, is fairly solid).
If you want the bad and the good together: Go ahead and watch it all. You'll probably find stuff to like in the "bad" seasons, like I did.
If you're a completionist: You'll probably muddle through just as I did. Once you're into Season 4 and beyond, be ready to take however much attention you usually devote to watching TV and give half of it to something else: work, a game, a book, etc.; or do what I did and use Community as a backdrop for eating lunch/dinner.
Rating statistics on a per-show or per-season basis would make a great Trakt feature, though. Maybe even a VIP perk?
At any rate, there's a VIP forum thread for it: https://forums.trakt.tv/t/average-ratings-for-seasons-entire-series/1902?u=dgw (please vote if you can!)
For what started as a heartwarming, quirky, and unique show, the latter three seasons tarnished the sweet taste in my mouth in regards to its lasting appeal. Seasons 1-3 was a sophisticated humor comparable to 30 Rock but with the shenanigans of a Workaholics. It is really a nice blend that worked amazingly for nearly 70 episodes, but then characters started to be written off. Was the show still enjoyable at times from seasons 4-6? Sure. But there was a lot of lazy episodes where the jokes weren't as clever. Rumor is that a movie is supposed to follow, but I can definitely say I am only interested if the original cast and writers are back. To those that have not seen the show I would recommend to watch the first three seasons and then just call it quits. Unless you desperately need more content to watch, you are truly just setting yourself up for disappointment in the long run.
Average Season Review: 7.5/10
Recommendation: Watch If You Need Content (For NBC Sitcom Fans)
Season 4 has one advantage: it is short enough to watch this piece of crap and cry about the slow and painful death of an ones awesome series.
So, finally ende Community, and i have a lot of stuff to say. I dont get why people says its good. Yeah, the first 4 seasons are good, but 5 and 6 o damn that was baaaaaad. When it ended it felt like a big it was time!, the fact of actors leaving the show and the creative team runing out of ideas is clear in the last season, and i hate how everything went to hell suddenly and the character became parodies of themselves. I know its hard to end a comedy show. Look what happened with The Office!, season 8 was shit, and then season 9 was a little bit better and the succesfully close the show. Community end feels reaaaaaally false and abrupt, and a show is good if all its seasons are good, so this isnt.
Fell off after 3rd season
it got some nice lines but also too 'casual' in overall.
有亮點但也非常粗糙
Season 1 was the best... everything else that comes after it is just boring, chaotic or political... the usual Hollywood agenda of black victimization, white 'guilt', and gay "segregation", classic american propaganda... it had potential, but I just hate the writers for being this racist...
I am on season 2 and i am already giving up. Boring and repetitive
It’s kinda boring and annoying except scenes of Abed and Troy. Pierce is mostly funny too.
The supposedly main characters- Britta and Jeff are just straight up not original.
Overall, the episodes are repetitive with same old moral of the story format.
Last 2 minutes of every episode feel like i am in church.
Watched the first 3 episodes & couldn't get into it. Wasn't funny to me... Had maybe 1 or 2 laughs.
