As it is a two parter I think I'll hold out (can I? We will see) until next week and watch both back-to-back.

It took me a while to realize that Troy was dressed like Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles.

Yes, Community is AD good.
It's like Scrubs on steroids.

Both they and she have to know that the term "Annie's Boob's" have become a common reference around Community fandom on the internet . . . . . and they've been writing that into episodes for a while now.
And she seems totally game for it in the context of the role.
Her very competent dramatic turn on Mad Men speaks to her range as an actress.
The original Paintball episode was such an unexpected tour de force that I'm not sure they could ever top it. I like it that this one has its own context and doesn't necessarily have to be graded against the first one. It's been fun so far and I look forward to the conclusion.

Best comedy on network TV. I hear rumors next season will be the last for 30 Rock?

It may have, actually. I'll be the first to admit that the first season was pretty weak.

Yeah, Season 1 was terrible, but Season 2 was one of the best seasons of network comedy. You should really give it another chance.

Season 1 was basically there to set up the series....I mean, it was all about The Pit, but the show has become so much more than that.

Season 1 was really terrible, but it's improved a ton. It's like when the Office first started, I thought the first season (6episodes and the start of the 2nd were terrible but by the middle seasons it was awesome. Parks and Rec is like that too, slow start but it and Community are by far the best comedies on TV now (Modern Family is good too)

I'm very torn between Raising Hope, Modern Family, and Community.

So does anyone else think this is a plot by City College to destroy Greendale?

I DVR 'em all so I'm not torn.
I've been surprised by Happy Endings too . . . some pretty funny moments there, particularly the guy living in the ceiling moments. The new "Traffic Light" is a little uneven although I watched an LOL one last night.

I do as well, but in terms of ranking.. anyways. Happy Endings is interesting, sometimes funny, sometimes trying too hard. I really like Traffic Light. I love the male characters, not sure on the rest though.

The ladies on Trafffic Light were cracking me up last night with the masturbation and role playing plot lines . . . . and cell phone GPS tracking.

I have a hard time getting through an episode of Happy Endings. Seems like a show that might have been funny 3 or 4 years ago.
Parks and Recreation is consistently good...not amazing...but you have to love the show just for Andy...he is hilarious. Last weeks episode where him and April were being taught how to be adults was entertaining. Also, Ron Swanson it starting to become an awesome TV character.
30 Rock was amazing and now is just going through he motions. I did like how they wrote Jack's wife out of the show though...that was pretty funny.
Modern Family season 1 was great but now they are stuck in the rut of having the happy ending BS. At least Gloria is always nice to look at.
Community started out strong and then wasn't doing it for me this season but the last few episodes have been gold...and this last paint ball one is easily the best episode in the entire series. Really looking forward to the next episode.

And (host of Earwolf's Comedy Death Ray Radio) Scott Auckerman's wife has been in Traffic light.
And (Earwolf's Mike Detective) Rob Huebel plays Kev on Traffic Light.
And (host of Earwolf's How did this get made) Paul Scheer played Komono guy in Happy Endings.
And to bring it back to Community, Eliza Coupe in Happy Endings played the Secret Service agent who fell for Abed in Community.
Happy Endings and Traffic Light are both great new shows.

This years modern family isn't great.
My favourite comedy right now is Raising Hope, I was surprised I liked it so much but the characters are awesome. Especially Maw Maw... hilarious.
