Funny show. But of the TV shows that have done a “musical episode”, I think Community wins for least actual musical talent in the cast. And the one cast member who can sing (Shirley) didn’t really get many of the musical bits. ---

I like when Brita is used as a tool of intentionally ruining things. ---

Not my favorite episode, but I respect their ambition and just how hard it is to pull off a Glee parody. I think they did darn near as good as could be imagined, especially without being able to use licensed music. ---

If you look at it strictly as attempting to be a great _Glee_ parody, it misses the mark by a pretty good margin. But it was still a very entertaining episode of _Community_. ---

Ok, so what was with the references to the cast replacing the glee club previously? Was that off camera, or did I miss an episode? ---

OK I have to say this episode was a keeper! I’ll watch it again just to see Troy and Abed’s performances. And give me more of that Annie bit anytime. 😃 ---

You know, as useless as Shirley is, I bet they could use her a lot more if they were willing to make fun of religious people to a greater degree. That scene is pretty funny, and it would be the best use of her character, but they’re pretty soft on the issue. ---

This was an awesome episode. I was like the cast very skeptical of the glee theme, but it was great! Baby Boomer Santa was my conversion moment. ---

She does a brain-meltingly good non-skewered [Santa Baby](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5cdzc3YdFI), too.
