S1 E18 Takes Place Before S1 E17

I was watching S1 E17, "physical education", when I saw that Jeff tells Leonard, "Shut up Leonard. I talked to your son on family day. I know all about your gambling." But when I double checked the episode list, "Basic Genealogy" comes right after.

I don't even think Michelle was even seen or mentioned in S1 E17, with Jeff even exchanging looks with that girl who eventually goes on and hits on Abed which would make a little more sense if he was single at that time. (Although he would've totally done that if he was seeing her or not)

I don't think it's anything important- I bet there's other episodes that are out of order with the chronological story!

Back when Community was TV Guide's Fan Favorite

Community won TV Guide's Fan Favorite contest in 2011, and so were given three different covers. I bought them all. 😁 Did anyone else buy these?

EDIT: It doesn't look like my photograph came through. It was my picture of the three simultaneous covers of TV Guide, with the cast posed differently.

You've been tasked with re-casting the Greendale Seven. Who do you cast?

For the sake of making the conversation interesting, I won't limit it to active actors. Any actors you think would've fit nicely at the time? How about actors from previous generations? Feel free to re-cast other characters as well!

How does community manage to be so inventive while following a rigid structure?

The title is the whole post basically. If you don’t know, every community episode follows the same Harmon story circle structure. Based on the heroes journey. So how does each episode manage to be so different than the other and be so inventive?

Alison Brie as Annie shooting Jeff in Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design is a tour de force of acting like someone who is acting but well and also in the style of TV romance gone wrong crime movies

I mean, she's good but not quite convincing when she accuses Jeff of kissing her then hiding her like a shameful secret, but she's perfect as Annie acting really well to teach him a lesson.

We'll ignore the terrible Vinnie Barbarino in season 6.

What else are key meta moments in the series for you?

Alison Brie was so good in the role of Annie that she stole the show and the writers unconsciously made her the actual protagonist in Community.

My point is made by the fact that the second time we get a paintball episode she literally is the protagonist. That’s how good she was that the writers decided to put the full weight of the story on her POV.

Alison Brie deserves props for how she handled the stereotypical good student role and made it an enjoyable watch. I love that Annie could have been so unlikable or just stayed in the box of “goody two shoes” and the funny thing is that for the most part she does, but with such charm and goofiness. Of course the writing of her role is a huge part of this but her comedic timing is really impeccable and I think the shows creators picked up on this and gave her more of a protagonist and centered a lot of the episodes on her.

In season one she occasionally gets a few episodes that dive into her character but season 2 and onward you really see her much more at the center. A huge part is also her chemistry with Jeff but I don’t think we talk enough about the fact that with or without him she really pulled off a great performance.

best 3 episodes in a row?

so i’m currently on my like 20th rewatch of community, and i was just wondering what everyone’s fav 3 episodes back to back are. i think the majority of the show is really strong, but the writing and concepts stand out in phases in my opinion.

i think the best 3 in a row are in season 2 episodes 5,6,7. 5- messianic myths and ancient peoples 6-epidemiology 7-aerodynamics of gender

Where to watch the original cut (UK)

Today I was going for a rewatch on ITVX (hope the mention isn't against the rule) and noticed some lines I remembered were absent. At first I thought I was remembering wrong, but after the third time I had no doubts and went to check old videos on youtube, which confirmed they shortened some scenes. The colours also looked cheaply enhanced, I am not a colour grader but feels like they didn't put too much care into it.

Anyway, point is, does anyone know on what platform (in the UK) could I watch the series in its original shape, with no additional cuts by the distributor?

thanks

Favorite exchange between the group and a one-time or smaller side character?

Inspired by S2E12:

Quendra with a Q-U: "Are you Abed? I love Star Wars"

Jeff: "That's Troy"

Quendra without missing a beat in the same tone: "I love footballs."

Later in the episode:

Quendra: "I spell kettle corn with a Q-U"

Jeff: "Well don't."

Guys... am I being gaslit...

The movie. I don't understand.

Is it real? is it myth? Is it legend? Happening now? Happening in another timeline? Or Just a glimmer of hope after TW: >!the last two seasons!<?

PLEASE someone be honest with me. IS THIS JUST A JOKE OR IS THERE ACTUALLY A MOVIE COMINGGGGG AWEUYGFJMSBDJMhb... I mean obviously I know the whole 'six seasons and a movie' but you get it.

If this is some inside joke I'm not apart of... well... you're all in big trouble. No more Mr nice guy.

S3 ep08 detail that i barely see anyone talk about

First of all, just rewatched this episode. I don’t know what it is about it but the way it shows the absolute extremes of everyone even including Jeff is just so hilarious.

Anyway, i saw people comparing it to works like Apocalypse Now. Almost the entire episode, to me, feels like a loving parody of Kaufmans Synechdoche, New York by. First of, Annie as a script supervisor is obviously Tammy. The whole crazy dean part is similar to Caden who gets more and more detaches from reality. But what really cements this connection is the whole understudy of and understudy joke, which was a huge plot thing in Synechdoche NY.

Anyways, just wanted to point that out since it seems like not many people caught then and also from what i’ve experienced, Synechdoche NY is an extremely underrated movie in itself.
