Community, a new half hour comedy series premiering in September, is about a group of misfits that form a study group at a community college. If you think this doesn't sound like a funny idea for a TV show then you are wrong. The combination of writing, directing and a great cast make this one very funny show.
Joel McHale, host of the E! series The Soup, is perfectly cast as a fast talking lawyer whose college degree has been revoked (for being fake). He uses the idea of a study group to pick up Britta, (Gillian Jacobs) and then the group sticks.
After making a television comeback in his guest starring role in Chuck last season, Chevy Chase is now a regular cast member as Pierce, an older but not necessarily wiser member of the group. Also in the group are a middle-aged divorcee, a pop culture junkee, a high strung perfectionist and a former high school football star.
Although not billed as a regular, the hysterically funny John Oliver from the Daily Show appeared in the pilot as a professor at the college. If we are lucky we will get to see him occassionally as a recurring character. Here is a preview of the fun you can expect on Community:
The directors of Community, Joe and Anthony Russo, are the Emmy award winning directors of Arrested Development. Community premieres on NBC on Thursday, September 17th at 9:30pm. If you would like to watch the entire pilot now, become a fan of Community on Facebook, and you can then watch it online for free on Facebook, but only until this Friday night, August 14th at midnight.

This is one of the funniest and touching shows on television. Joel Mchale is absolutely outstanding as well as the rest of the cast. Superb writing and directing.
