These episodes were totally full of awesome.

I had to wait for the second episode to be recorded on my DVR before I could watch. I wanted to watch both back-to-back.

I think I may have ruptured something due to uncontrollable laughter. Good thing I could rewind.

Third time, if you count when Annie was doing a character.

Anyone know how Community does in the ratings? I’m quite frankly amazed that this show is getting a third season - how often do genuinely creative shows get that long?

Pretty poorly, unfortunately. But someone at NBC must like the show, since it’s coming back. Who knows whether that will last for more seasons, though. And maybe it’s for the best. It can end on a high note instead of fading away into mediocrity like so many other shows.

except it’s handling the low ratings with so much more dignity than AD and that’s why I’m officially moving Community ahead of AD in my pantheon of great sitcoms.

Better Off Ted didn’t handle low ratings very well either. le sigh…

I don’t watch Cougartown. [This clip](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4recvP3lNw&feature=youtu.be) almost makes me wish I did.

I should mention that there’s a Community connection. Specifically it’s a throwback to

Abed being an extra on Cougartown
