I didn't see a thread for Community so I figured it would be cool to start one. As some of you know, the show was canceled by NBC but picked up by Yahoo Screen. The sixth season premiered today. Even with a partially new cast, I rather enjoyed both episodes. I love this show and am so damn happy to see it reach its sixth season. Now we just need that movie.

Glad to see in back and hope this season isn't a let down to the series like the last season of Scrubs was.

Watched both episodes today. They were both fun, but I laughed a whole lot more during the first one.
I don't like Yahoo Screen, though. I couldn't get smooth HD playback at all. Any time the quality would increase, it would get real choppy. No connection issues. Hardwired getting 35 down at the time of watching. Not sure what their deal is.

I love Community and will always support it, but they've lost their fastball. They very obviously peaked during season 3 and I think it's been getting worse and worse since then.

So glad to see this back. Sometimes the player just doesn't want to load for me, but I waited as long as I could to get it to work to watch one of my favorite current TV shows. Honestly, no matter how stale the show could get lately, I'll still love it because I'm so attached to these characters and I adore them. Season 6 seems to be picking it up though. Not that season 5 was bad or anything. I don't want to talk about the 4th season.

I'm yet to see season 5 but I heard Harmon was onboard for it, so hopefully that means it's better than the weak season 4....
You know me, Kev, I love Community too but I can only keep up when it comes out on DVD...

I totally disgree that Season 3 was it's peak. Season 3 had some great episodes, but also had a lot of meh ones, in my opinion. Seasons 1, 2 and 5 were my favourites. Season 4 completely sucked.
I'd rank them:
1. Season 2
2. Season 1
3. Season 5
4. Season 3
5. Season 4
Keen to watch these new episodes.

I rank them 3, 2, 1, 5, 4. I generally thought 4 and 5 were equally bad.

I'd rank them . . .
I. Season 2. The most consistently high quality season & Advanced Dungeons & Dragons is probably my favorite episode.
II. Season 3. First half is pretty weak with an exception or two but the last run of episodes, like maybe the last twelve or so, are far and away my favorite span of episodes in Community. Remedial Chaos Theory, one of those exceptions, is probably my second favorite episode.
III. Season 1. Pretty great season that constantly improves & outdoes itself.
IV. Season 5. The first half was great, a breath of fresh air after the poor retread that was season four but the second half was bad. That said, the episode early one with Pierce's will (don't know the name off the top of my head) is one of the series best episode.
V. Season 4. Gets more hate than it deserves but it's still not good.
Anyway, outside of the fact that the player was giving me problems, I loved the first hour of season 6, particularly the second episode. Don't know if this was stronger the first two of five but I'm expecting this to be the best season since the original trilogy (not that it has super tough competition). Already really like Paget Brewster's Frankie, probably even more than Jonathan Banks's Hickey (Ew, that sounds wrong) & David Keith should end up being a good addition. Also, I don't miss Shirley, at all.

I enjoyed the first two episodes of Season 6. Frankie and Elroy seem like good additions. The Dean in his virtual reality was great.
As for Community in general, it definitely peaked a while ago. Harmon let it go off the rails a bit too much in Season 3 and after the circumstances surrounding Season 4, has struggled to get it back to where it was. Season 5 had some good episodes (particularly the lie detector bottle episode, one of my favourites in the entirety of the show), but it was still clearly the 2nd worst season of the show by a distance.
I'd rank it similar to you guys:
Best - Season 2 (Perfection, great balance between insanity and realism, really consistent quality episodes)
Season 3 (Ebbed and flowed quality wise, but contains some of the series' absolute best episodes)
Season 1 (Good stuff, not quite true Community style yet, but gets better and better as the season progresses)
Season 5 (One great episode, a few decent ones and several misfires, season starts off well but derails pretty hard)
Season 4 (No Dan Harmon = no buys, a couple of decent episodes but generally a poor imitation of the first 3 seasons)
Season 6 definitely has the potential to surpass Season 5 quite easily.
