[USA] Community #1 Awesome New Friends

quote:

I think the reason the joke works is not because it's some self-contained witticism that could be spoken by anyone, but because each response is dependent on the character speaking it, and it only becomes funny when you consider each character's thought process in saying what they did (Jeff was being an rear end in a top hat and mocking the British "Cheers!", Abed is hopelessly dependent on TV as a point-of-reference for real life and assumed sitcoms were being listed and said "MASH," and John Oliver is a British dude who's overly defensive and needlessly proud of his cultural heritage, so he thinks "Fawlty Towers" is the ultimate trump).

All of which is saying basically Community > Two and a Half Men.

NBC has picked up its Thursday comedies "Community" and "Parks and Recreation" and its Wednesday medical drama "Mercy" for the full season.

The pick-ups of these three shows are not surprising since NBC has had few other bright spots this season. Both "Community" and "Parks and Recreation" are critical darlings and, while their audiences are small, the network is no doubt hoping they will broaden their appeal the way "The Office" has over the last few years.

On Wednesday nights, "Mercy" has been growing its audience and has improved the 8-9 p.m. time period compared with a year ago.

"We're confident 'Mercy' can be a strong player for us," said Angela Bromstad, president of prime-time entertainment for NBC.
