So are we just pretending the terrible puppet/musical episode didn't happen?

I wish I could. I've been a huge fan of Community since day one but this season has been tough to watch and last week's episode was my breaking point. I made it about 10 minutes in and had to shut it off. Its a shame the show changed so much but what can you do. Enjoy the reruns I guess.

I'm pretending this season didn't happen. I stopped watching after the Thanksgiving episode I believe.

The show is dead. Please take this corpse off the air. How this could happen to Community, which at one point was probably one of the best comedies of all time...

I've tried to like this season, I really have. It just seems "off" compared to the Harmon era.

Le sigh...

The thing that really surprised me was reading some of the reviews from critics who have been less-than-kind to this season's episodes who were praising last week's episode, which I thought was one of the weakest of the year.

I was just surprised there wasn't a single comment in this thread, I guess it's a statement that most of us have given up on this season. It was the first community episode I've ever fast forwarded through.

Maybe it's just me and maybe I'll get tarred and feathered by a few of you, but I didn't find it worse than that awful clay-episode back in season 2.

The season as a whole is pretty underwhelming obviously. There have been a few decent episodes, but no great ones.

I hated the puppets, but I have enjoyed this season in general.

I liked it. A fair bit. Sue me.

Ok. You are required to be in court (AKA the swimming pool) this Thursday!

[Superfraggle]

I liked this episode. I've liked most of this season. That said, it has not been close to the standard of seasons 2 and 3. There have been plenty of enjoyable episodes, but not one that I thought was brilliant.

[Joborule]

The season hasn't been top notch quality, but overall I've thought it's been decent. Last week episode was by far the weakest in a while though.

Absolutely. This season hasn't been great as a whole (I've liked a few episodes though) but the puppet episode was very disappointing to me.

I must be going crazy.

I actually don't mind the show. It isn't consistently funny (though, only 1 season has been able to deliver in such a manner), but the stories are more interesting on the characterization side of things (sans Annie. I'm not sure what the plan was with her, but they have basically removed the "driven" part of her personality from...anything). And one of the two standout points in Community is good enough for me.

Also, I haven't had a chance to watch the puppet show. Is it worth skipping?

(To add on, I really liked the Christmas episode, a couple scenes notwithstanding)

I still get a few giggles each episode, but miss the cleverness from seasons past.

I enjoyed the puppet show. Thought they had a good premise for why they were puppets. Again, not a brilliant episode, but was worthwhile and had some pretty funny moments.

(I loved the Christmas stop motion animated episode)

[Flaming Choy]

I thought last night's Christmas dinner party episode was pretty good.

[Superfraggle]

Best episode of the season, imo (Freaky Friday). They should have Jim Rash write more episodes.
