Does anyone watch this? I'm halfway into season 2 and it's the best comedy I've seen on tv since Arrested Development.

I've only seen the paintball episode. What else should I watch?

The entire show? It's partly from the same people who did Arrested Development so if you liked that...

Brita isn't supposed to be funny, she's just a love-interest. Which they amusingly reference in one of the episodes, sort-of.

Pierce is probably my favourite character and I agree with Dead that the secondary characters are actually the best thing about the show.

If you liked season two, then season one ought to blow you away.

The episode today was one of a few this year where the shift in tone between the two seasons was a good thing. An episode like that wouldn't have been possible a year ago.

The season finale next week is going to be nuts.

What I don't get is why it doesn't pull better numbers.  I know it's up against another great show in Big Bang Theory (which crushes it in the ratings...we're talking 3:1 here), and one that is aiming at a very similar demographic.  It (Community) has been renewed for another season and CBS seems to like to move BBT around every season so maybe it won't be up against it next year.  I think Community is a much better show, but I understand it's not everybodies cup of tea.

People do not have great taste. I mean, look at Arrested Development.

It's not coming back in January. The remaining episodes will be aired at some point, but it's hard to see it continuing beyond this.

Oh, humanity.
