Awesome episodes. The video game episode was just killer. Loved it.

Hmm. I didn't pick up on anything like that...


That video game episode is now one of my all-time favorites. I really want to go back and read all the menus and stuff that was in there. I know when Abed was looking at all the stuff the video game girl knew about, I saw "unkillable bears" flash by.

The other two episodes were good too. Loved the heist.

"JEFFREY! Oh. Hey Britta."

Great stuff. Hope they get next season extended.

How about the title theme song as a MIDI?

My mouth was agape for the entire thing.

Good Christ, All 3 episodes of Community and 30 Rock got some horrible ratings last night. All 3 episodes were under 3M viewers and a series low 1.3. Imagine how bad the Friday numbers are going to be?

Hah, oh well. The show's lucky to have been given a final season.

I really think I'll be done with network TV after next season.

Were any of the other video game characters based on real ones besides Jeff jumping and sliding like Mega Man? Troy's flips looked familiar.

Awesome video game episode. It took me about 40 minutes to watch it. I kept pausing, and rewinding to see the menus, what everyone was doing, etc.. top 10!!!

The last episode definitely could have been a series finale - I left feeling good about everyone.

I'm glad they are getting a final season next year, and at least we know that it won't be put on hiatus mid season next year because it is on Friday nights - expectations will be low.

What is this whole six seasons and a movie thing?

Also, from the end, is the dean from the other community college planning on attack on Greendale? And who was up in the air vent?

Video game episode was fantastic. Though, like many of the show's other parodies, the subtleties will be lost on anyone not specifically familiar with the underlying reference (in this case, Nintendo-era video games).

I thought the other two episodes were just okay by comparison. I did laugh pretty hard at the fake dean's "It's tough out there for Moby lookalikes" line in the second episode. And the "pseudo-finale" wrap-up montage at the end of the third episode was utterly smile-worthy.

However, this is the first that I heard of the show moving to Fridays. That's a major bummer. It almost guarantees that the 13 episode run next season will be the end. And it's much easier for me to catch the show on Thursdays, since after all these years, I habitually watch the NBC lineup from 7-9 (am on the west coast).

However, unless NBC somehow comes up with a batch of new shows on their "must-see TV" night that can match the quality of the dead or dying Community, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, and The (old) Office - something which I find unlikely given the increasingly poor quality of their newer shows - I can finally be done with giving up my Thursday nights after next season. So maybe there is an upside to NBC stinking these days.

If anyone thought otherwise even with it staying on Thursdays they were nuts. We're lucky to even get those 13.

See the NBC Fall Schedule thread that I posted this week.

It actually reminded me a lot of 90's era computer games.

They really did nail all the little details. The only minor thing that bugged me was they were referring to the controls as if they were using a gamepad but they were actually using a keyboard.

Thank you for supporting Community through its December. I owe you all for making the most satisfying project of my life possible
Um....that doesn't sound too promising.

Do you people watch the show!?

It was Abed's rally cry for The Cape from the clip show last season. It's since turned into the mantra for Community itself.

Didn't "six seasons and a movie" originate with Abed freaking out when he thought Cougartown was going to be canceled?

EDIT: Oops, didn't see the replies above.

The Cape only went 10 episodes...five more seasons (and a movie) would have been a near impossibility. Same with Community, I think. Why set a goal for themselves that they will never reach.

Well, Community will be back but Harmon's still up in the air. He hasn't been signed on as showrunner for next season.

That's disappointing to hear that the creator hasn't even signed on as showrunner next season. I guess that pretty much guarantees there are only 13 episodes left.

I was hoping this show could have a rebirth on another station like TBS or Comedy Central. Maybe even on Netflix ala Arrested Development (that thing is still happening, right?)
