The Google street view car doesn't look like that. I was driving behind one a few weeks ago.

I really liked this first show, I really did. Equal parts humor and heart is what I go for and this did it very well.

I thought it was OK. I'll give it a shot when it starts up.

Unfortunately, though, I got more of a Mr. Sunshine vibe than a Community vibe. With Matthew Perry carrying the show and everyone else in supporting roles.

I liked Studio 60 and Mr. Sunshine, but felt this premier was stronger than both of those, at least in terms of humor. I'll definitely be sticking around.

Interesting that the thread starter put (Matthew Perry) in the subject

For me, it's all about John Cho

I'm on board, even though it'll never see a second season.

I really enjoyed this. I didn't care for Mr. Sunshine and hope this sticks around. I both laughed out loud a couple of times and teared up. Good job show.

I thought the pilot was ok, I'm willing to give the show a chance this fall.

Finally watched this today.

I kind of liked it. It was a good mix of humor with some dark storyline thrown in. What really sold it for me was when Perry came back to the group and told the story about how his wife was killed while texting. IMO, Perry is good at mixing in drama with comedy. It wasn't LOL funny, but it had some moments.

It's too bad that they weren't able to update that T.O. signed with the Seahawks since they referred to him as being a member of the IFL.

I'm in at least for a few more episodes to see if they manage to find the the tone of the show.

It was alright. Especially for a pilot. If it improves upon the pilot a bit I'll keep with it.

Some of the forced zaniness put me off, but I actually liked it when the serious moments kicked in. It sort of grounded the humor in a nice way... Scrubs was the master of this, although Go On has a way to go to reach that level. But I'll definitely give it a second look.

I liked it. But then again Chandler was my favorite Friend. I was losing it during the March Sadness bracket and how the old guy kept going on and on about his blindness.

I hated Friends, but sort of agree with DRG up there. I don't watch many sitcoms, but may set my DVR for this.

Same here. Just watched this on iTunes for free and agree it's a stronger pilot than either of those. I'll keep watching. Liked it MUCH better than the Mindy Project and I thought that one would be stronger. Added it to my Tivo list...

Finally watched this last night and found it to have a lot of potential. I liked what I saw so far and will keep with it for a bit anyway.
