Community Review: "Regional Holiday Music" (3.10)

<em>Community</em> Review: "Regional Holiday Music" (3.10)

Since we won’t be seeing Community again for a while, I’m very happy that the show went out on a high note. And NBC has been very cagey about the back half of the season—yes, we’ve been assured that there will be one, but how it’ll happen remains undecided. NBC has enough struggling sitcoms that it seems conceivable that Community will end up back on the air during the spring season… but then it might not. It might get thrown away in one night or scattered around the summer to languish....  read more

Community Review: "Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism" (3.9)

<em>Community</em> Review: "Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism" (3.9)

Last night’s episode of Community had two plots but one of the main things connecting them was their reliance on old sitcom stories. This isn’t Abed going into a Christmas wonderland in his mind here, instead this is standard stuff. In fact, the show goes out of its way to tell you that, when Troy mentions the way Abed has seen his plotline played out 100 times previously on television and can’t be fooled. You’re supposed to recognize that these are pretty ordinary events, to the point that I doubt they work nearly as well if you’re unaware....  read more

<em>Community</em> Review: "Documentary Filmmaking: Redux" (3.8)

If you’re reading this article you’re almost certainly aware of Community‘s current troubles. The show is not officially canceled by any means. It has a full order that will, we’ve been assured, be fulfilled. However, that’s the only good news. After December we don’t know when the show will be back, or how long it will be back for. Anyone who remembers the third season of Arrested Development may end up feeling some deja vu here. Similar scheduling shenanigans forced that show off the air after the fall, and Fox only aired the final episodes in one short, difficult-to-find block...  read more

Childish Gambino: Camp

Childish Gambino: <i>Camp</i>

"Man, why does every black actor have to rap some? / I don’t know - all I know is I’m the best one." Those lines from Childish Gambino’s “Bonfire,” the first single off of his first release on Glassnote, perfectly exemplify one-half of Donald Glover’s rap career. He’s cocky, arrogant and knows he’s about to break out of this stratosphere. The other half, however, is more humble and he’s still angry and insecure about events that transpired in his life.  read more
