It's sad when a favourite show gets shelved. I couldn't stand Joel McHale, and therefore the show. Many of my favourite comedies have gone under and it's always a kick in the nuts.

Well its good so it had to be cancelled, ask shows like Mission Hill, Futurama, Moral Orel, etc...

Lame. I've only seen the first two or three seasons but I heard it got pretty bad.

It did. I enjoyed the first few seasons but lately I've thought the show sucked.

I liked this last season. The fourth (the one on which Dan Harmon was not the showrunner), though, was very uneven.

Friend said there are like 3 episodes he liked.

But he liked them so much, he's ready to watch even 500 episodes like others in season just to see another 3 like that.

There wasn't a 4th season, there was a bunch of episodes that NBC put to convince people that Dan Harmon isn't a good Showrunner and it didn't convinced.

What's worse, yet not surprising, is FOX axing yet another good sci-fi show(Almost Human). But on subject, I watched a a few clips of Community and just didn't find any interest. :C

Never noticed that, I noticed it with shows like MLP and Dr.Who but not this one? Odd, maybe no ones acted crazy about it to me yet, its a pretty decent show, better then most on TV, but thats not saying to much, I would give it an 8/10 I think...

If I ever watched that show, it would only be for Alison Brie. I caught a couple of snippets and it seemed alright, but I don't have cable and it never seemed to available for streaming.

You think TBBT is a "dumb" show, when most of the comedy is aimed at people with intelligence? It's "geek humour", I'm sorry if it goes over your head...

EDIT Of course, I don't mean to offend you in any way but saying it's a "dumb show" is kinda ignorant

No its not geek humor its opposite. People having no idea about that stuff try to make jokes and its really bad.

Anyway I won't cry about another so-so comedy show getting axed.

I'm not watching it regularly, so maybe there's some "geek humour" in it, but most of the show is about making jokes about nerds and making characters as stereotype as possible.

Us Geeks ;^)

The show isn't really intelligent or marketed towards geeks. All the show does it make references of what people considered a (stereotypical) geek likes and that's completely different, the jokes themselves aren't geeky but since the uninformed hears a joke they think something similar to "Oh they mentioned that character from that popular comic book/video game/sci-fi/fantasy/ect. thing! It mus be geeky!"

It is absolutely NOT aimed at people with intelligence. It is aimed at average people, making fun of what they commonly think geeks are.

Eh, TBBT is not really about geek humor. If anything, it makes fun of geeks. It has no affection for its supposed subject matter and mainly consists on the same beaten tropes that populate every mediocre sitcom over, only with a Star Wars reference now and again.

"It has no affection for its supposed subject matter"

I actually have to disagree with this. I regularly watch the show, and while I agree it's not intellectual humor and it gets its laughs from geek stereotypes, there clearly are geeks on the writing staff and prop/set designers. They aren't just casual references to geeky things, they talk about some actually deeply geeky stuff sometimes... at which point the "straight man" (usually Penny) will just be like "OMG you guys are so weird". canned laughter

"they talk about some actually deeply geeky stuff sometimes"

It's not that this is completely untrue, but... Most of the humor comes from, as you say, geek stereotypes. I have no doubt that there are some geeks in the writing staff but the fact remains: most, of the humor comes from saying "look at these people! they have different interests from us and are not very socially apt! isn't that funny and strange?". There certainly are people in there that like the things that dress up the show in a geek costume, but the show as an whole uses almost all its references as props.
Well, even The Simpsons have geeky elements central to the plot in a fair number of episodes, and that are not looked down on.

Yeah, I never saw the appeal in TBBT. Early HIMYM seasons were great, but the 2 last ones were just bad.

They don't have those threads anymore, it's a shame. I watch the show because my parents like it, and it's a family bonding experience, but ever since those threads I really really noticed how much truth there is to it, even if it is exaggerated. The only reasoning I can think of is because they do multiple runs and the audience is anticipating the joke by the time the take we see airs.

Well, there is still a faint hope, that they will go elsewhere, like Netflix. It's unlikely, but I will continue to believe in it, until I'll get my six seasons and a movie!

What's it like being stupid? Your sarcasm is about as funny and witty as this show was. Community was only good for the type of people who liked shitty shows with dull humor like Entourage. It wasn't quite as bad as Entourage, I'll give you that, but it was miles away from actually good sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory or How I met Your Mother. I've seen better humor than Community had in procedural murder investigation dramas like Castle and Elementary, for which humor is just a secondary and less important purpose.

The Big Bang Theory is funny? Not so funny, and only season 1>3. HIMYM too.
Try to watch these shows without laugh track: the jokes are not so funny.
Not funny... Not funny...
PS: I really like these 2 shows, but the newest seasons sucks

ir was a wonderful show and saddest thing about it is they left with a mediocre 2-part finale since they were hoping to get 6th season. of 23 episodes, too.

well, nuts.

i still hope they make their movie, if no one picks up it for the last season.

Yeah, Community is awesome. I've watched Season 1, 2 and 3, at the moment. My favourite episode is the 3x04, "Remedial Chaos Theory", but there are too many funny episodes :D
And my favourite TV series is Scrubs :D I love it.
