community

I've been watching a lot of the NBC sitcom Community lately. About half way through the first season. I really like it. It's well acted and written, and the characters are endearing. Actually, it's the first non-British sitcom I've watched seriously in a long time. I know, I know "suspension of disbelief", but a couple of things "bother" me about it. First, it's a community college, but why is is set up like a university? They have dorms, student organisations, sports, tentued professors and research . . . none of that exists in real community colleges. Also, I'm confused by Jeff's character. He's a lawyer. That means he had to already have at least a bachelor's degree and a juris doctorate . . . but somehow he's taking community college classes? I also wish they'd stop focusing on Jeff so much - he's a great character - but I'd like to see others take a bigger role. For the "cute girls" I have to go for Annie over Britta - I have a soft spot for nerdy girls who don't know how hot they are. I think it's weird though that they always make a big deal of her "being so young" when she looks like she's actually 30. The bromance between Abed and Troy is pretty good. Pierce is funny, but I think they're wasting Chevy Chase's talent a little bit. Shirley doesn't do much as a character, but she's a decent "straight man". Senor Chang is the best character on the show. The dean is a little annoying, but if they made him a bit more sadistic or stranger or whatever I think he'll be a better character. Well, you know, I list these "complaints" but they aren't really. I just go with it event though it confuses me. It's a fantastic show nonetheless. Glad I check it out.
