Wow, isn't Greendale so WACKY and ZANY! High-larious! :rolleyes:
Haha, god, watching Season 4 is a rollercoaster; ups, downs, but mainly just an desire to vomit. Just when you think the show has recaptured some of its magic, you get episodes like this Friday's clanger - an odd pastiche of what made Community so enjoyable, but ultimately just a poor episode.
I think it's time to walk away from this show; I would have given it until the season break, but given Season 4 is a short, 13-episode run I might as well do it at this natural mid-point. Clearly the show has jumped the shark big-time, and while I'll stick around on this thread in case things take a sudden turn for the better, there's no point continuing to watch when I clearly don't enjoy it anymore. RIP Community

This show is simply brilliant with Easter Eggs. I'm rewatching the show at the moment and I just got to the first Paint Ball episode. Tell me what you see here.......
Yes, that is the "Red John" smiley from the Mentalist. Can't believe I missed that the first time round.
I also really, really enjoyed the goodfella's chicken episode. And "He was horny, so he dropped him. Man is evil!".
This show is great. Yes, it has some misses....but it's hits are godlike.0 -

For me anyway, some of the criticism's are way over the top. Is it as good as it was? Nope, but I'm still enjoying it for the most part. Sure it's not as sharp or clever but I personally don't think it's as bad as others make it out here. As a result of this constant negativity, it's one of the few times I've mulled over not reading a TV thread for a show I'm watching.I'm a few behind, but this thread is putting me off from catching up.0 -

It's not without its laughs, but "over the top" is a fairer description of what the show has become - it's simply not the Community I fell for back in series 1/2. The writers have ramped up the wacky, oddball humour to the nth degree; and while the situations have become increasingly daft, arguably the characters have lost all the relatable humanity that made them so great at the start - in some cases like Annie & Abed they've actually regressed (and it started happening in series 3 under Harmon, so I'm not just booing the show because of that whole controversy) whilst others have devolved into caricatures. Remember when Chang was just the slightly weird Spanish teacher? Or Britta was just the straight-man (so to speak), and not ... well, the moron.For me anyway, some of the criticism's are way over the top. Is it as good as it was?

Fair enough if people are still finding enjoyment in the show - each to their own
- but I think it has lost the run of itself completely: oddly enough, as borderline smug as the series has become, the one interesting idea that was picked up then almost immediately dropped was that the study group were actually hated across campus. That would have been an interesting arc to work with across the season; giving the group a chance to evolve once more, and an interesting if unexpected antagonist (the rest of the college). Instead, it was resolved with a quick montage(!) and we defaulted back to wacky hijinks 0 -

To be fair, britta as a moron proved a better character. Straightman britta of early season 1 was dull.
Though it was a balancing act that they've missed a few times.
is still one of my all time favourite jeff lines to her.
Also some episodes to me I always feel sort of get a pass cause they are clearly sold as *holiday specials* the glee episode in particular sticks out as ones where the characters are purposely done a few steps done on realism, so the moron dance makes sense there.
sadly new season writers missed the memo on what is a holiday special and what isnt.0 -
I don't bother commenting on this thread any more - but this... the study group were actually hated across campus. That would have been an interesting arc to work with...
+1
It would have been an epic turn that would have allowed them to reground the characters and undo the sins of season 3.
Instead, Community is now Happy Endings with even more inconsistencies.
No point in me critiquing season 4 again - almost all the shortcomings I've noticed have already been pointed out somewhere. Sad smiley face is enough:0 -
