Community

Created and written by Dan Harmon (creator and writer of Rick and Morty) Most of the episodes are directed by the Russo Brothers (Infinity War/Endgame) before they were big names

Great, great show that is also silly and smart

New Girl surprised me years back. I had thought is some Zoey Deschanel chick show. Wrote it off very much like I do anything with America Ferrera.

It is a great show about 5 (off and on 6) friends. The guys end up being far bigger characters than Zoey.

Schmidt is the man

I'll check my services for new girl... i think community is on hbo- I like Dan Harmon though so I might check it out if I can pull away from my treasured trash tv.

Thanks for the suggestions! I've been in rewatch mode vs trash tv for a Loooong time!

Community is on Peacock and Netflix, I think

Awesome! I have Peacock! I'll look that up... OPL is getting tiresome!

Threads like these are way worse than whatever it is you're complaining about.

My post that Inside Out 2 was successful and made $1.7 billion was downvoted

Because it completely ignores that it’s Pixar’s only success in the last 5 years. It’s the one that bucked the trend, not the trend itself. And you can’t seem to admit it, Pixar generally sucks lately. That’s just matter of fact. One good effort in 8 movies (about to be 9) is not a good studio

Cocomo’s post about people downvoting you for stupid contrarian opinions perfectly describes this

So you are tweaking your same incorrect argument from the other day from good turnouts to good efforts? you arent fooling anyone besides maybe yourself with your selection window (5 years) of right after they rallied off 4 huge successes in a row.

excepting Community and New Girl- haven't tried those yet.

I just finished a rewatch (my third or fourth) of Community. It's great. It's a different kind of humor (and very meta at times), and sometimes they tried to be too ambitious with the episodes (i.e. they spoof other shows and genres a good bit), but for the most part it's fantastic. Season 6 is good, but sort of a slog at times mainly because it aired on Yahoo Screen (i.e. not on television), so episodes are closer to 30 minutes than the typical 21/22 minute runtimes.

New Girl is one that I missed when it aired. I discovered it several years later, and really liked it. All I'll say for NG is if you aren't feeling it for the first half of S1, give it time to develop...once they shift the main focus of the show from Zoey to the group as a whole, the tone changes and it really hits its stride. It's s really solid show.
