If you've never watched it, stop whatever you're doing and take a look at last night's ep. This is money on so many levels:

That is all.

I watched season 1 of Louie, but season 2 was so depressing that I had to stop.

This has been argued to death on the ACVlub boards. Leaves me cold as I love both shows, and can't say which is better. P&R is more complete in that it's realistically grounded and does poignant as well as it does funny, but Community is more innovative which allows for more resounding comedy.

And I certainly can't hate on Community at all after the last episode. It was pretty much perfect from beginning to end, and said perfection took so many diverse forms.

Does the AVClub have a message board or are you just referring to the comments sections on the articles?

Yeah, I called the comments sections 'boards,' sorry for the confusion.

I thought the shorthand would be clear, realize now people might think they're missing out on something that doesn't exist.

**Buck** · 12-10-2011, 03:19 PM

They really should have a message board, IMO.

Some good news -

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — After acknowledging that NBC had a "really bad fall," the network's entertainment chief moved swiftly Friday to assure viewers that "Community" and "Law & Order: SVU" aren't leaving.

Although the Thursday night comedy "Community" was taken off the midseason schedule, entertainment president Bob Greenblatt said that he wanted to "dispel any notion that it is quietly disappearing." He didn't say, however, when it would be back.

At a news conference, Greenblatt also aired a video clip of star Mariska Hargitay saying that she's committed to "Law & Order: SVU" through next year. She'll even get a love interest: Harry Connick Jr. has signed on for several episodes later this season.

For NBC, keeping any audience it still has is important. The fourth-place network has continued its slow decline this fall, with Sunday night football keeping its heart beating. Viewership was off 5 percent from last season, the Nielsen ratings company said.

"We had a really bad fall, worse than I had hoped for but about what I expected," Greenblatt said.

Still, he said that he hoped new shows like "The Voice," ''Up All Night" and "Whitney" can provide building blocks for the future, even if they are only modest successes now.

NBC has been outspending its rivals in series development recently, following many years when the network kept such spending down. Greenblatt said NBC's new corporate owners, Comcast Corp., have shown a willingness to invest money and patience in rebuilding the network.

This is being reported all over and people are cheering the news while snarking the lack of a return date.

But the poor guy probably just didn't have the energy to say "we hope it won't come back for a while, as our new shows kill in the ratings, but it'll probably replace the 3rd episode of Chelsea Handler's failed sitcom."

This pic doesn't capture it well, but Britta's, uh, suit in this scene is nothing short of phenomenal. Allison Brie usually outshines her co-star vis-a-vis hotness (and she may still have), but damn Britta looked good.

Setsuna · 01-07-2012, 10:42 PM

That Chelsea show will be brilliant. I love Donna from that 70s show. So hot.

**Predarat** · 01-08-2012, 10:38 AM

When it comes to Britta vs Brie the only winning answer is the typical CP Both at the same time.

You mean the "I would the whole thing"?
