Product Description

Smooth talking ex-lawyer Jeff Winger has got a lot to learn, and he's come to Greendale Community College to avoid every bit of it. Unfortunately for Jeff, he's not the only misfit to enroll here, and people in need have an odd way of finding each other. First, his fake study group becomes a real study group. Then, over the course of a strange year - from Mexican Halloween to the final 'Tranny Dance' - including bad trips, great debates, drunk dials, food fights, epic paintball battles and sinister chicken finger conspiracies - the group becomes a family, something Jeff never wanted, but clearly needs. Starring Joel McHale (TV's The Soup), Ken Jeong (The Hangover) and Emmy Award winner Chevy Chase.

Amazon.com

Community hits an ingenious balance: it's both a top-notch sitcom about a gaggle of misfits at a community college and a satire on the very nature of sitcoms. Jeff (Joel McHale of The Soup), a fast-talking suspended lawyer seeking an authentic undergraduate degree, forms a Spanish study group for the sole purpose of wooing Britta (Gillian Jacobs, Choke), a former political activist trying to move into mainstream life--but to his dismay a handful of other students show up as well. As happens in sitcoms, they turn into an alternate family, including Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown), a Christian housewife; Abed (Danny Pudi), a business/film student with Asperger's syndrome; Troy (Donald Glover), a former high school football star; Annie (Alison Brie, Mad Men), an overachieving ex-drug addict; and a former moist-towelette magnate (Chevy Chase, Saturday Night Live, Foul Play). Community's plots occasionally revolve around classes--most often abusive assignments from their volatile Spanish teacher, Señor Chang (Ken Jeong, The Hangover)--but more often the show veers into daffy social territory, such as female bathroom etiquette, excessive political correctness, sexually transmitted disease prevention, the true meaning of Christmas, bullies, and teacher-student affairs. The characters are delightful, the dialogue swift and clever, and the stories skillfully orchestrated.

But the secret pleasure of Community is its sneaky commentary on sitcom mechanics, from the whole concept of an alternate family to the manipulative nature of will-they-won't-they sexual tension to any number of subtle but affectionate digs. The show's pop-culture awareness extends even further in two of the best episodes, one that turns a craving for chicken fingers into a GoodFellas-esque Mafia tale and another about a paintball competition that escalates into a quasi-apocalyptic action thriller. Also, Community: The Complete First Season is packed with delicious extras--in addition to cheerful and entertaining commentaries (which demonstrate how much the cast enjoys working together) and the usual outtakes of the cast breaking character, there are excellent mini-episodes, mock cast interviews, and some very creative use of sound effects. Fans of Arrested Development will enjoy the rich, layered humor and fans of How I Met Your Mother will take similar pleasure in the clever stories, but Community should appeal to anyone seeking smart, high-energy comedy. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars A great sitcom
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022

Community is a sitcom that ran from 2009 to 2015. It starred Joel McHale as Jeff Winger, a lawyer who was disbarred for obtaining a fraudulent law degree. He is forced to (for some reason) go back to community college to get an undergrad degree so he can restore his law degree. Of course, anyone with any knowledge of the legal profession knows that everything about that is totally preposterous, but in a goofy comedy, it works fine. Winger wants to get through school with the least amount of resistance possible, tries to find the easiest classes to take, and forms a study group with an interesting mix of students. The rest of the main cast included Allison Brie as Annie, a recent high-school graduate who was the classic over-achiever who popped Adderall, Danny Pudi as Abed, an aspiring film student who sees everything through a pop-culture movie or tv show lens, Gillian Jacobs as Britta, a mid-30s cynic trying to figure out what to do with her life, Donald Glover as Troy, an ex high-school football star who personifies the "dumb jock" persona, Yvette Nicole Brown as a middle-aged housewife going to school to put her life back together after a divorce, and Chevy Chase who plays Pierce, a rich, old racist who keeps enrolling in school for something to do. The recurring season one cast included Ken Jeong as Senor Chang, the Spanish teacher who could barely speak Spanish, Jim Rash as the very politically correct Dean of the school (who would become series regulars in subsequent seasons), and John Oliver and John Michael Higgins and professors at the school.

In the first season, the focus of the show was on character development and the school storylines, basically the weird mix of people you get at community college. The show hit home for me as I was, at the time, a lawyer going back to undergrad to get an engineering degree, and I started out by taking classes at a local community college, and there was definitely a weird mix of personalities around campus. The show is basically a story-of-the-week show that has some kind of theme either involving something in the lives of one or more of the characters, or something going on at the school. Toward the end of the season, we get the first of what would become a signature for the series, the paintball episode in which the winner of a school-wide game of paintball gets priority registration the next semester. Of course, the game gets totally out of hand, and the paintball episodes get crazier and crazier as the show went on.

For those who get the DVD set, the extras include audio commentary on every episode with series creator Dan Harmon and various members of the cast. There are also a couple of short mockumentary features, including cast evaluations in which Harmon evaluates the performance of each cast member. There are a few mini-episodes, deleted and alternate scenes, a season highlight reel, and an extended cut of the episode "Communication Studies". A lot of material for those who like watching the extras.

Overall, the show is very good. It is very well-written and well-acted, even if the main cast was made up of mostly unknown actors (aside from Chase) and the guy who hosted "The Soup". While the main premise of the show is totally preposterous, the fact that much of the show was very tongue-in-cheek and did not take itself too seriously, it worked. While it did include some elements common to pretty much every sitcom, it was not a carbon copy of anything and had no problem making fun of pretty much any topic. So, if you have not seen the show and are trying to figure out if you should give it a chance, it is well worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stellar first season for perhaps my favorite sitcom of all time! Witty, creative and VERY fun! #sixseasonsandamovie

"Community" is a beloved and acclaimed cult-comedy series that ran for six seasons between 2009 and 2015. Created by Dan Harmon, the show follows an eclectic group of characters whom are brought together while attending Greendale Community College. Though its production was oft-troubled and there were plenty of shake-ups both on-screen and behind-the-scenes over its six-year run, the fact remains- thanks to witty writing, stellar performances, incredibly likable characters and top-notch production values, "Community" is easily one of the best of the best. An icon in the world of television comedy, and one of the greatest sitcoms of our time.

Season one gets things off to a strong start, with the majority of the episodes involving the introduction and establishment of the main characters and their dynamics with one-another. There's Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), a cynical disbarred lawyer who needs to earn a legitimate degree. Britty Perry (Gillian Jacobs), a strong-willed but often misguided idealist and wannabe-activist. Abed Nadir (Danny Pudy), a geeky student whose obsessed with films and whom seems to suffer from some sort-of developmental disorder. Shirley Bennet (Yvette Nicole Brown), a motherly Christian housewife reeling from a recent divorce. Annie Edison (Alison Brie), a High School graduate and compulsive over-achiever trying to shed her past as a pill-addict. Troy Barnes (Donald Glover), a former High School football star whose trying to find his way in the world and escape the pressures of his past. And Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase), an eccentric millionaire who has been enrolling in Greendale over and over to combat general boredom. These seven unique individuals originally comes together as a study-group (albeit for less than noble reasons), but eventually blossom into a sort-of family throughout the season.

Part of the charm of “Community” is how it juggles both earnest and genuine character development and broad, conceptual satire to create a unique and whimsical experience. While the series starts as a relatively standard, yet still exceptionally well-executed, sitcom, it quickly becomes something much more. This is the sort-of show where one week, an episode might tackle a real and grounded issue with thoughtful handling of drama, and the next week... we’d get a full-on parody loaded with satirical pop-culture references and cartoonish logic. (And yes, I know that “Community” fans dread the word “parody”, but it’s the only word I can think of to describe some of these “concept episodes.”)

The cast is all magnificent (with special props going to Jacobs and Pudi, whom are by far my two favorite actors on the show) and really do their all with the wonderful material they are given. Creator Dan Harmon and his crew of writers and directors also do a lot with the concept. There’s paintball wars and mafia stories involving the school cafeteria that are absolutely hilarious… and at the same time also plenty of deliberate character-centric episodes that will tug at your heart-strings. And the show’s direction and editing is very well-done. Not that you’d expect anything else from a series whose directors include the Russo Brothers (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Civil War”) and Justin Lin. (“The Fast and the Furious” franchise.)

As for the DVD release- this is a very good set for both fans and newcomers alike. While I’m still holding my breath for a potential Blu-Ray re-release at some point (this series is so cinematic, I’d be worth re-buying in HD), what’s here is pure gold. There’s plenty of bonus content, including audio-commentary on every single episode, a plethora of outtakes, extended episodes and behind-the-scenes featurettes. And the quality is quite good, with sharp picture and crisp sound. Even though the entire series is available to view online on websites such as Hulu in the US and Netflix in Canada, I’d definitely recommend this set to anyone interested. For less than $20, you’re getting well over 9 hours of content. That’s a total steal!

“Community” Season One on DVD gets a perfect 5 out of 5!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quickly finds its legs
Reviewed in Canada on June 27, 2011

I came across this fantastic show upon recommendations from friends. I decided to set the dvr to record a couple episodes. The second series was broadcasting on NBC and was halfway underway at the time so I my first experience with Community aside from Youtube clips was "Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking", season 2 episode 16. This episode spoofed the mockumentary genre adopted by its comedic peers like ABC's Modern Family or NBC's The Office.

At the time I payed little attention to the parody itself as I was more engrossed in the characters of the show. Every character had his/her quirks and had some time to shine in; some more than others. The character Troy was especially hilarious in this episode. The fantastic bromance-broship between Troy and the character Ahbed (who is definitely the most quirkiest of the bunch) is one of the obvious highlights of the show. Donald Glover and Danny Pudi -are- fantastic.

In a few days I had caught up with all the episodes from the show and I can say that this is some of the sharpest, current, wittiest comedy on television today. This show knows its target demographic (16-50 year olds who have some knowledge and appreciation for pop and geek culture). The show has its share of goofiness that may turn off some viewers who have less knowledge of the context. But the show continually rewards you for knowing the context or it will interest you enough to do some research of your own.

The show is very easy to get into as the jokes are fast and frequent but there is a definite story arc in each episode. You will have a greater appreciation for the characters and their jokes and gags if you have watched their character progression from the beginning. Actions do have consequences and the show does reward those who pay attention to foreshadowing.

Con: The one thing that irks me is that sometimes this "Community" college has elements you only find in high school like b**chy girl cliques or stereotypical jock bullies.

^^But not to get too serious.

The show is fun and fast. The 22 minutes will feel like 10. You will come to love or at least appreciate each character if you stay with it from the beginning. This show takes risks that you will never see in headlining comedies like the Big Bang and Modern Family.

DVD: The best thing about this dvd pack is the cast and crew commentary on every episode as well as roughly 35 minutes of outtakes spread over 4 dvds. There are a few alternate cuts of episodes - I wish there were more, as the director mentions that there were a few more that they just couldn't fit.

Consensus: Buy Now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eine großartige Serie, die mit Genrekonventionen spielt
Reviewed in Germany on May 22, 2012

Community ist eine Serie, deren Ambitionen höher nicht sein könnten; mehr als eine einfache halbstündige Sitcom ist sie eine Untersuchung der Konventionen von Film und Fernsehen, gleichzeitig Kommentar und liebevoller Tribut. Dies wird insbesondere durch Abeds Charakter verstärkt, der die Welt durch eben diese Linse sieht und die Metaebene kommentiert. Wenn die study group sich in ihrem Studierzimmer einschließen, weil ein Kugelschreiber geklaut wurde, kommentiert er dass er bottle episodes hasst, da sie komplett von Emotionen getragen werden, die für ihn schwer wiederzugeben sind.

Danny Pudi, der Abed spielt, kann allerdings mit einem scheinbar unbewegten Gesichtsausdruck mehr Emotionen vermitteln als viele andere Schauspieler mit ihrer ganzen Körpersprache; das Schauspielerische Talent der gesamten Cast ist außergewöhnlich. Das im ersten Absatz angesprochene Genre-bending hätte leicht zu einem Gimmick verkommen können, aber die großartigen Leistung der Schauspieler und der Fakt, dass die Folgen von den Charakterkonflikten ausgehen und den Gimmick nur benutzen, um diese Stories zu transportieren, machen Community zu einer der besten Serien, die in den letzten Jahren produziert wurden.

Über die Ausstattung der deutschen DVD kann ich natürlich noch nichts sagen, aber wenn sie der der amerikanischen entspricht dann bringt sie noch sehr viel Mehrwert, mit Kommentaren zu jeder Episode, dem, obligatorischen Gag-Reel, webisodes, featurettes und ein erweiterter cut einer Folge.

Community ist nicht für jedermann, aber ich empfehle jedem zumindest einmal reinzuschauen und sich ein Bild zu machen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Razor-sharp and thoroughly amazing.

I love Community. I love it like something I feel belongs solely to me, but it's so great I want to share it with everyone. It's probably the most intelligent, self-aware sitcom on TV at the time of writing. It's incredibly quick-witted, so you'll need to be wide awake to catch all the gags, and it's especially rewarding on second and third viewings - the jokes either grow on you, or you'll catch things you missed the first time round.

The story: Jeff's just been disbarred as a lawyer, and so he's forced to go back to community college to earn a proper degree. Quickly becoming attracted to Britta, the surprisingly formidable, stereotype-breaking blonde girl from Spanish, he forms a fake study group in an effort to win her affections. Before you know it, Jeff's learning life lessons, and this loveable, roguish band of misfits come together as a sort of surrogate family. Comparisons abound to John Hughes' 'The Breakfast Club', but Community is clever enough to have Abed, the group's resident pop-culture expert and all-round guru, point these parallels out. That's the kind of show this is. It's so refreshingly sharp, and very postmodern, with most of the jokes seeming to almost reach out of the screen and interact with the audience on an intellectual level. It makes for some great television.

Everything about Community just works; the cast, the writing, the direction. It's destined to be a cult classic, which is a shame, as it means it'll never get the recognition it deserves. I know it's up against Parks & Recreation (currently one of the biggest and most successful American sitcoms, with good reason), but P&R will never have the same appeal to me as Community. I care far more about the study group than I'll ever care about the members of the Parks department.

A couple of things that continue to puzzle me: 1) why are we only getting Season 1 over here now, when the US is nearly halfway through the (hilarious and mind-bendingly fun) third season? and 2) why is this brilliant show in danger of cancellation?! NBC, this is golden, and the fans are trying to tell you as much. See the number of signatures on the 'Save Community' online petition if you don't believe me.

In ending, Dan Harmon has brought something truly unique, truly heartwarming, truly hilarious to our television screens, and I'll never be able to thank him enough. I love Community. I'm sure you will too.
