What do you think about the show "Community?"

Oooooh, I think? Hard to say since I have the whole thing on DVD currently...
Should be pretty great, since the best quality it's ever been released in prior to now were 720p broadcasts and Amazon Prime digital streaming, so finally having the show in glorious 1080p quality (on physical media) is gonna be fantastic.

Me, when I first heard about this news:

Isn't that assuming it's mastered to that resolution?
It is, yup -- Dan Harmon's talked about how the show was digitally-filmed in native 2K, but has never gotten a Blu-Ray release, and how upset that's made him, since it's such a gorgeously-shot series.
 
That's cool. I checked the link yesterday...wish they said something about special features (or lack thereof).
 
We startwd watching and just started season 4. Loving it!!

Also recently saw Joel McHale standup, he was great
 
only ever saw the first three seasons on netflix, I keep meaning to go back and find the other three. I loved the early season 3 episode where we first saw the darkest timeline :)
 
Hulu has all the seasons
oh that might be a good option , I dont have Hulu yet but have been thinking about it . Of course, just like netflix I imagine the catalog might not be exactly the same. Still makes me sad I can only watch Frasier on netflix if Im south of the boarder.


AKA as the current timeline. ;)

The blu-ray is only $54 on Amazon.

hmm, not a bad price, I got a few seasons on DVD as a gift, I guess I should see what it would cost to get the rest of the seasons

There's a lot of overlap between netflix and hulu but each has unique content. I think it's worth the monthly cost for both since i don't have cable
 
They had a funny bit on the Joel McHale show with Joel McHale when Gillian Jacobs came on as a guest. They said there'd never be a Community movie, and Gillian cried out that it was a tragedy, because the movie was going to be Donald Glover's "big break." LOL

I enjoyed the first few seasons, but I didn't like a few creative decisions they made. I felt the Dean should have had a smaller role, I didn't like all the weird directions they went with Chang (I liked him better as a Spanish teacher). And when Troy sailed off, it just kind of broke the show.

I particularly enjoyed Chevy Chase's open hostility to the show. And Annie's Boobs.
 
The DVD of the show is only $36 which is awesome. It's not perfect but the show is so much fun and the characters actually grew. And yeah Chang was just wierd, but fuck it I went with it.
 
I like the exchange at the end:
Dart "Chang was a Spanish teacher?"
Chang "Yup! And I haven't been well utilized since."

Chang had a lot of great moments but they never really wrote him consistently from one episode to the next, and I don't like what they did with him at the end of season 3 with the Emperor Chang arc.
 
Yeah Chang had his moments but he was probably the least interesting character.

The show is pretty amazing though. I just love all the meta humour, and they do such a good job sending up geek culture.

Troy and Abed are my heroes, and Jeff is hot. :o
