Community finally returns tonight at 8 p.m. on NBC with a new episode. It’s hard to predict where creator Dan Harmon will take the show, which is one of TV’s most enjoyable, funny and creative half-hours. What will it parody next? Is more singing in the cards? Will Jeff and Annie rise up again? I [...]

If you thought “I love you, Jeff Winger” was bad, just you wait. A new brand of humiliation awaits Britta during an upcoming Valentine’s Day episode, teased Community‘s Gillian Jacobs during a NBC TCA party last week. She also chatted with me about a new romance for her character, Britta’s friendship with Annie, and pitched [...]

– What high school types are the cast of Community in real life? The entire cast agreed that Donald Glover is the class clown. “I like fart jokes,” he said. Gillian Jacobs is the intellectual – “She hates fart jokes,” interjected Danny Pudi – while Alison Brie and Yvette Brown are the prom queen and [...]

This holiday season, I wish… For shows to just go there already with their will-they-or-won’t-they couples. Please stop using the Moonlighting curse as an excuse.

But after doing a half-hour action movie, parodying “Goodfellas,” going to space [...]

Last month, I posted about the adventures awaiting NBC’s Community in its second season, including Betty White, a love triangle, and several homage episodes. Those first of those episodes airs Thursday, Oct. 14, at 8 p.m. Here’s what you need to know about space travel when it comes to Community (and check out photos of [...]

Community, one of my favorite new shows last season, returns this Thursday, Sept. 23, on NBC. Back in its 8 p.m. timeslot, the show will be facing off against the newly relocated The Big Bang Theory on CBS. But during a set visit last month, the Community cast made it clear that they’re not afraid [...]

Few web series have successfully translated to TV, but the wacky and hilarious Childrens Hospital, which started out on TheWB.com, has found a home on Adult Swim (Sundays at 10:30 p.m.). The brainchild of Rob Corddry (The Daily Show, Hot Tub Time Machine), who also plays Blake Downs, a doctor who believes in the healing [...]
