Most of all, though, I’ll remember the idea that we all have a choice, that we can all put off our own destinies or embrace them. We don’t have to put off growing up to be with our friends, just as we don’t have to give up being with our friends to grow up. There’s much more to life than just the same stuff we’ve always known, and when we finally reach the point where we’re ready to head off into our own unknowns, we’ll carry bits and pieces of each other with us all the while. The title of Community has always been a description, yes, of the place where these people met and the kind of world they built for themselves. But it’s also always been a promise, a hope that someday, we’ll all find people who make us feel at home and become parts of a larger, warmer whole. If that had been the last thing we ever saw of this show, it would have been a lovely way to leave it.
Todd VanDerWerff, AV Club review of Community’s “Digital Estate Planning”, “The First Chang Dynasty”, and “Introduction to Finality”
I love reading reviews on AV Club right after a new episode airs. By now, I think most people know that I have a special place for Community in my heart, and this sums up a lot of my feelings perfectly. That last montage at the end of “Introduction to Finality” gave me so many feels and, ughhh, best show ever.

Just wanted to say that the way they used Subway in this episode was so much better than I imagined! I was so worried that the product placement would be annoying but the Subway/1984 storyline was really funny!

This is awesome. And it reminds me that Eliza Coupe from Happy Endings played Agent Vohlers in Intro to Political Science.
Community starts up again tonight on NBC! I saw it at PaleyFest and it’s another awesome episode!

Paleyfest 2012: Community Panel aka Life is Awesome Right Now, Okay?!
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. OH GOSH, I JUST NEED TO GET THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM BECAUSE I’M JUST SO ENERGETIC AND EXCITED.
Okay. Wow, I didn’t realize I was such a fanboy for this show until now. Well, I knew that I was crazy addicted, but I did not know that going to a panel and seeing my favorite cast ever and hearing them speak would leave me this way.
Anyway, a couple things first.
Everyone who attended got to see “Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts”, the new episode that is airing when Community returns on March 15. It was wonderful to laugh with the crowd and I can’t wait for all the new episodes to start.
All of the main cast except for Chevy Chase and Donald Glover were on the panel. I love Gillian Jacobs. Everyone is really funny and I hope they make a DVD of the panel like they did before. OH. Apparently, Community made history at Paleyfest for being the first television show to come three years in a row. Yayy.
Questions, questions, questions. My favorite one from the audience was “If Community did have six seasons and a movie, what would the movie be about?” Dan Harmon answered by saying that at the end of the fifth season, the characters would decide that they would go on a vacation and that at the beginning of the sixth season, they would start out about how they could never talk about that vacation ever again. The movie would be about what happened. THIS NEEDS TO BE REALITY.
When the panel ended, I did an impulse buy and bought a ridiculously expensive poster of the cast that was specially for Paleyfest (I mean, it says Paleyfest on it and has the date) and tried to move through the crowd of Human Beings trying to get some signatures. I got Joel McHale, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Danny Pudi to sign my poster and Danny Pudi also took a picture with me. Seriously though, if I wasn’t so starstruck when I first got close, I probably would have gotten more, haha.
I hope that Community is at Paleyfest again next year because I know so much better now about how to approach something like this. Okay. I’d say this was a success.

I just love this cast.
- Question: If Community isn’t renewed and this is your last day on set ever, what will you take away from this experience and what will you miss the most?
- Gillian Jacobs: I’m going to cry. It so far exceeded my expectations of what the show would be. This is one of the best pilots I’ve ever read, so already my expectations were high. Then shooting the pilot -
- [Jacobs begins to cry.]
- Yvette Nicole Brown: Oh, it’s OK, Stinkers. She’s such a pretty crier. My God, she’s a pretty crier.
- Gillian Jacobs: I’ve never worked with a group of people that have impressed me so consistently on such a daily basis. I feel like given the nature of this show, we’ve been thrown everything from an action movie to a noir to My Dinner With Andre. Everybody rose to it every single week. The writing and the creativity and the scope and the ambition of the show has been— [Jacobs’s sobbing becomes ragged.]
- Yvette Nicole Brown: Oh, well. I can’t sit here and not hug you.
- [Brown and Brie embrace Jacobs.]
- Gillian Jacobs: Yeah. For all the people that have only heard about our show—it’s spoofs, it’s pop culture, it’s genre—they’re missing the fact that these are different, new characters on television that people have grown to love. So even when we do an episode which is set in the apartment and there’s no obvious spoof or takeoff, people still want to watch it because they love and care about these characters.
- [Brie begins to cry.]
- Yvette Nicole Brown: Oh, Stinker, what’s happening? Oh, my girls. Oh, my little pumpkins.

There’s just something both amazing and disconcerting about the way Danny Pudi can move his legs.

Best. Orientation. Quiz. Ever.
So while I am looking to see where my next path in life will lead me (and while I’m saving money to hopefully go traveling next year), I am working as a tutor for LAUSD students. The company sent me the orientation this week to complete online and it has different slides with a voiceover explaining everything. It’s basically like AlcoholEdu. Anyway, there are quizzes throughout the orientation to make sure you are listening and I realized that whoever wrote one of the quizzes is amazing.
Here are parts of some of the questions:
“This is Annie’s first month as a tutor.”
“All of Shirley’s students started tutoring with her two months ago.”
“Jeff has been tutoring for four months, and he has seven students.”
“At Troy’s Coffee Shop Drop appointment…”
What’s so amazing about this? Annie, Shirley, Jeff, and Troy are all characters on Community! I was freaking out! Well, I didn’t notice Annie at first, but when Shirley came up, I thought, this reminds me of Community. Jeff was in the next question but I forgot about thinking about Community by then, but when they used Troy, that’s when it all came together.
Okay, sorry, this was actually a lot more interesting at the time. Gah, I love Community and people who love Community.
