With Kath & Kim apparently drowned in a pool of its own self-tanner, Parks and Recreation floundering despite itself, The Office seeming more and more like a show sadly past its prime and Chuck still chugging right along despite—wait, Chuck is still on?, it might not seem like the best time for NBC to introduce yet another comedy about lovable losers. Still, Fall 2009 will apparently see the debut of Community, a sitcom starring Chevy Chase and The Soup's Joel McHale (RIP Talk Soup) as bumbly adult students just trying to survive an inglorious return to post-secondary education.

I'm not so sure that Parks and Recreation is floundering despite itself...it seems to be floundering because it's such a blatant copy of The Office (itself a copy of The Office) that I can't understand why anybody would watch it?
It's "THE SOUP" not "talk soup" aholes.
Sorry, JJ! My time machine got stuck in 1999. Fixed now.
believe me if chevy chase is in it it will suck.
Apparently, Jim hasn't heard of a little movie called "the Invisible Man", to say nothing of "Dirty Work", or "Fletch 4: Felch with Fletch".
chase wasn't even funny in 'caddyshack' never mind his other movie disasters. seriously, when was the last time anyone laughed at or because of chase.
Chevy Chase is awesome. Fletch, Caddyshack, Spies Like Us, Three Amigos, Vacation 1 & 3.... Did you hear him on Howard Stern last year? Genius. Give him a chance!!!!!
Looks like it could be funny. I am conditioned to laugh when I see McHale from years of watching "The Soup," so that helps. Like Ari says, "this town loves a comeback," maybe Chase can be next year's Alec Baldwin. McHale getting called Seacrest when he enters the room, it's a joke that just keeps trucking. Soup viewers know what I am talking about.
We at Community NBC can't wait for the show to start!
