I don't. I've seem some bits and pieces, some of which make me want to watch. The problem is that I didn't jump in from the
beginning.
Yes, I love the dynamics of the different pairs! Abed and Annie for final two? I love Chevy Chase and have never understood the hate, BUT I've only really
seen him in Christmas Vacation, which I've loved most of my life.

I do love Chevy Chase in the Vacation movies, at least the ones I've seen. But it's his SNL stuff that I'm just not crazy about. Too smarmy, even
for me. Plus, in the book Live from New York, tons of cast members for shows that he hosted said he was just the most unbearable and unnecessarily rude guy in
show business. One or two people and I would say it could be bitterness, but literally I think only one cast member stands up for him. I guess what I'm
saying is that I like Chevy Chase when he's not being himself.
Yep, Shirley was Dwight's co-worker (and Señor Chang was in Michael's improv class) and is in a Dijorno commercial that, as far
as I know, is still airing. Abed was in a commercial for...T-Mobile? where he was butt-dialing.
I'm hoping they'll give it a chance to grow like The Office, but some of the NBC powers that be have changed a time or two since then. It's at
least my favorite sitcom since The Office. Community really has started kind of crazily, but they've also touched on the serious a bit. It seems they have
the freedom to go in either direction without any great leaps of difference.

One thing I really love about Community--they really do a great job of developing the individual relationships between all the possible pairs. Obviously Jeff
and Britta and then Abed and Troy are the main pairs going, but just five episodes in, we've seen almost every possible duo. Not to mention, this show is
actually making me like Chevy Chase. That's an impressive feat.
It really did hook me quite fast, but I'm fearful that it won't last. Wayne Jarvis was fantastic. *looks at the menu...tears it yells," I shall
have... A BIRTHDAY CAKE!!"* (Señor Chang and Shirley have made appearances on The Office, too.)

I'm just worried that it's on NBC, where you really can't predict what they'll do. Mediocre ratings could be enough, but then the great show
killer that is Jay Leno could rear his ugly chin. (They'd better not kill my Chuck btw.) I'm not too worried about a quality drop-off for Community
though; it started out broad enough that it can't really have an Office/NewsRadio-style moment where everything starts becoming overly wacky.
