Whenever somebody says anything about cancellation I have heart failure and think it is going to be Community.



After Arrested Development, Firefly, and soon to be Fringe, I have no more faith in the slack jawed knuckle dragging American Idol audience.

It's more sophistry than anything. The whole Ron Paul-Dems and Republicans are the same party stuff strikes me as excuse making by people who largely vote Republican and are self aware enough to feel bad about it -- if not man enough to say it out loud.

I thought Arrested Development was awful.




I don't blame the viewers for Community, I don't even watch it when it is normally on because Big Bang Theory is better. This is 100% the networks brain dead fault. You don't put the second best show on TV up against the best show on TV and then act surprised when it doesn't do as well. ESPECIALLY when those two shows target a similar audience.

I don't think so. I'm probably more liberal than conservative, but both parties make me sick, and looking back, it's actually been going on for decades. This game of playing one side against the other while we all get screwed. It's just getting more blatant these days, as I think they realize the majority don't pay attention beyond the D and R tags. Political football teams.

Arrested Development S1 and S2 are great, S3 sucks.

I am not saying both parties don't suck, but they suck in a lot of different ways too. People have said American political is played between the forty yard lines forever, and that is largely true. Still there are very distinct differences between the two and Judge Napolitano is outright false in some of the claims he is making - just in order to overstate his case.

I think you're awful.



Espiritu is correct. S1 and S2 are both brilliant, S3 is definitely weak but it did have several gems. You can hardly blame them though considering that it was only have a season in the face of impending cancellation.

It is a testament to the show and it's fans that it is getting ten more fresh episodes and a movie!

Shows like AD and Community are just too highbrow for most people. They'd rather just watch William Hung bleat in front of Simon and Randy.
