Check the "Community" Pilot Early


One of the very few new shows for the Fall 2009 season that I am interested in will be providing us with a sneak peek, via Slash Film:

NBC is getting clever with their marketing of the new half-hour comedy series Community, putting the entire pilot episode online for anyone in the United States to watch. The catch is you need to become a fan of the show’s facebook page to view the episode.

I'm a fan of Joel McHale and his work on "The Soup" so hopefully his humor translates well to the sitcom format. It's also nice to see Chevy Chase making some sort of come back, although he is starting to look like Carrie Fisher. I think this show has good potential to join the ranks of other successfully NBC sitcoms ("30 Rock", "The Office", etc.) as long as the writers are up to the task. I'll be giving this one a chance, you should too.
