One of the smartest things a show can do is start a web-series six episodes into its first season in which all of the characters on the show are played by different actors. OK, maybe not the “smartest,” but definitely one of the funniest things. You crazy for this one, Community!

  4. when do they introduce the guy who was sentenced to be jerry’s butler?

  5. Oh my gorsh, Zaboo from The Guild! When Two Fandoms Collide.

  6. “Five years from now… I’m going to marry her.” Amazing.

  7. Is the guy playing Abed the same guy who was the security guard mirror-version of Abed?

  8. From the NBC site:

    “I don’t get it either. Using the same characters accentuates the fact that the writing and some of the actors aren’t nearly as strong as the original show. A web series on the same theme with a new storyline and characters would have been a lot more interesting, and that it’s so “schticky” wouldn’t bother me as much. Very nicely shot though.”

    Whoops, that’s your comment, dummy.
