Critic Reviews for Community: Season 1
All Critics (20) | Top Critics (14) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (2)
Thursday night's premiere isn't quite there yet, but since a sitcom with engaging characters remains a lovely thing, "Community" is well worth a shot.
One of the pleasing things about "Community'' has to do with what it is not. The show doesn't fit into any of the more familiar half-hour comedy formats on network TV right now.
I've seen the pilot episode at least four times already and I laugh just as hard at the jokes now as I did the first time.
"Community" can be fresh, funny, smart and extremely aware of its own cleverness.
Joel McHale is the glue that holds it all together, and he's perfect -- a slightly toned down, ethically challenged version of himself on "The Soup."
The pilot squeezes one too many plotlines in, but after so many Friends-style comedies, it's nice to see so many flawed characters...McHale acquits himself well as a smooth-talking jerk.
