Yes. I looked at the Yahoo Screen on my Roku this morning and the first 2 episodes are there. Watched about 5 minutes of it and it looks great! Really looking forward to seeing them when I get home from work tonight.

First episode is fantastic and kind of resets the premise for the show. Loved it.

Episode 2 was amazeballs. Perhaps the best Community episode tag ever. Ever.

Dear god, do I pray for season 7?

Can I bitch in here that I can't watch this through my Playstation? Well I just did.

I really don't want to watch this on the computer, but I also don't want to spend money on another streaming device when my Playstations should be able to do the job. Ugh!

I was afraid the move was going to hamper the creativity despite the bigger budget. Nope, its still the same zany, wacky, oddball show we all love.

I also did appreciate:
Spoiler:
Shirley make an appearance at the end of episode 1. At least we got a chance to see her in season 6.

I watched episode 1. I noticed at the bottom, the progress bar had little notches that would show possible commerical breaks, but I didn't see any advertisements.

How is Yahoo making money off this?

It's a giant advertisement for Yahoo and Yahoo Screen. The big Yahoo stamp that shows up to the top right is a little annoying though. They get to make money once they attract an audience.

The Roku app is dated as hell, but works.

this is still filmed like it would air on regular television. there are basically cuts for commercials if they ever decided to insert them.

pretty sure they did this deal not to make money, but to be the anchor of their new service. basically paid the money to have a name.

That procedural parody at the end was excellent.

In other words, when the episodes are syndicated.

I love Garrett. That scene where he's swept through the door on the tidal wave of Frisbees was amazing! Although at the end of the ep it looked like he wanted to murder the group???

Well both episodes are over 27 minutes long, so they would have to trim them quite a bit.

Re: Community (Yahoo Screen) - Season 6 Discussion Thread - premieres 3/17/15

I thought both episodes were fun, but it's still not quite the same. There was a moment when Jeff, Britta, Annie and Abed were meeting in the back of the sandwich shop and I thought "that's weird, why are only those 4 characters meeting up? Where's everyone else?" Then it hit me that those 4 were the only originals left and I got really sad. The dynamic between the leads is completely thrown off without the others and I'm not sure Frankie is going to fill much of the void. Though I did like what little we saw of Elroy. At the very least I laughed out loud when Annie was describing the Gremlins knock-off and the trailer was great even though I thought the whole fake show/trailer thing was kind of played out after "The Butcher and the Baker" and "Hard Drive and the Wing Man" (or whatever it was).
