Community Rewatching 101

Quick, what's your favorite '90s alt-rock group that never existed? That's right, it's Natalie is Freezing brought to you by trusty, reliable Honda. Let's all go buy a CRV after we listen to "Advanced Safety Feature" (S6E7)!

Dan Harmon and Co. start to recycle more ideas with S6E6's "Basic Email Security" while making all of us at CR101 profoundly uncomfortable. But at least we learn fashion tips from Elroy!

Would you rather attend a prison or a party? In "Laws of Robotics and Party Rights" (S6E5), you can do both -- to your everlasting regret! Join the CR101 crew as they venture further into Season 6 of this odd series.

Season 6 gets bogged down in a bottle episode as Greendale gives a diploma to a dog and Annie threatens to transfer for the 17th time (S6E3). Feat. Lisa Loeb!

Season 6 is looking promising, as the CR101 team don their virtual reality headsets and jack into the mid-90s Matrix in "Lawnmower maintenance and postnatal care" (S6E2). By the time you finish listening to this, the Dean will have set the time on his clock!

The dawn of Season 6 is upon the CR101 crew, and it is a new day indeed! With Shirley out and Frankie in, change is afoot -- but how well does Yahoo Screen handle this show? Find out in "Ladders" (S6E1)!

With all 13 episodes of Season 5 in the bag, it's time for the CR101 crew to rock back on their heels and evaluate the run as a whole! Which were the best and worst episodes? What do we think of Hickey? What, if anything, could the season have done better?

The CR101 crew continues to slog their way through the two-part Season 5 finale with "Basic Sandwich" (S5E13). It's a weird way to end an otherwise great season!

Listen to CR101 on 

Can the first of a two-part season finale be so underwhelming that there's barely anything to talk about? The CR101 crew blames Abed for eluding the narrative as they muddle through S5E12's "Basic Story."

Listen to CR101 on 

The CR101 crew is fully OK with regressing into childish nostalgia, especially if it involves GI Joe and cartoon tropes from the '80s! Tune in for our analysis of "GI Jeff" (S5E11) and light a candle of remembrance for Destro.

This thanksgiving, the CR101 crew is thankful for the return of D&D in Community as they dive into S5E10's "Advanced Advanced Dungeons & Dragons!"

Are you more of a fan of dated board games or of unsealed educational textbooks with no page numbers? That's the terrible Sophie's choice you'll have to make as you listen to "VCR Maintenance and Educational Publishing!" (S5E9)

The first post-Troy episode is a certified hoot with sign language, rogue bears, and more cameos than you can shake a stick at (three). Join the CR101 crew for "Analysis of Cork-Based Networking!" (S5E6)

Listen to CR101 on

Listen to CR101 on 

Season 5 got crankier in the best of all ways with the introduction to Jeff as a teacher, Buzz Hickey as a duck expert, and the supporting cast as rioters! Join the CR101 team as they go through "Introduction to Teaching" (S5E2).

Listen to CR101 on 

Hello Season 5 of Community! The CR101 crew breaks into this fresh do-over with an analytical eye, drawing comparisons between the pilot and this Re-Pilot (S5E1). Is it the restart that was needed after Season 4?

Listen to CR101 on 

After analyzing, suffering, and enduring Season 4 of Community, the CR101 crew is ready to render their ultimate judgment upon the Gas Leak Year. Were there any bright spots amid the gloom? Find out in this wrap-up episode!

Listen to CR101 on 

We shouldn't be surprised that Season 4 of Community wraps up by betraying all that came before it, but it still sucks. Join the CR101 crew as they suffer through "Advanced Introduction to Finality" (S4E13).

Listen to CR101 on 

Abed's out-of-nowhere quest to connect everyone's backstories leads to an interesting if shaky bout of personal revelations in "Heroic Origins" (S4E12). We're almost done with this season, y'all!

Listen to CR101 on 

Oh hey, Community's fourth season remembers that Britta and Troy are a thing! And then promptly breaks up said thing. Probably for the best, the CR101 crew agrees. Check out their thoughts on "Basic Human Anatomy" (S4E11).

Listen to CR101 on 

It's Christmas in March as CR101 unwraps "Intro to Knots" (S4E10), but don't thank us -- it's a vapid, unsatisfying episode with the lamest knots ever. Oh, and Abed something something Die Hard.

Listen to CR101 on 

As the CR101 crew tackles the allegedly worst episode of Community ever, Heather is not having it. She is not having it at ALL. We think this broke Heather. Will it break you? Watch "Intro to Felt Surrogacy" (S4E9) with us!

Listen to CR101 on 

Did Season 4 of Community just redeem itself with "Herstory of Dance" (S4E8)? Maybe that's going a little overboard, but there's much to love with this wacky dance episode featuring a certain '90s pop star (Sarah McLachlan).

Listen to CR101 on 

Season 4 isn't a complete wash, as the CR101 crew find "Economics of Marine Biology" (S4E7) quite the discussion starter with whales, Delta Cubes, and dodgeballs galore!

Listen to CR101 on 

Was it the bad documentary framing? The poor camera choices? Or the fact that S4E6's "Advanced Documentary Filmmaking" wasn't funny at all the cause of Thomas' descent into insanity? One thing is for sure: He loses it on this show.

A reshuffled, rehashed, (slightly) reprehensible episode is on the table today as the CR101 crew goes through "The Alternate History of the German Invasion" (S4E4)!

Will an Inspector Spacetime convention be wACkY fun or confusing as all get out? It's season 4 of Community, so you can probably guess! The CR101 crew investigates "Conventions of Space and Time" (S4E3)!

CR101 knocks on the door of Pierce's mansion and gets more than it bargains for as the team is let into "Paranormal Parentage" (S4E2)! Ham, Ewoks, and secret passages abound!

We've put it off as long as possible, but now it's time to head into the gas leak year on CR101! It's a pretty rough re-entry with "History 101" (S4E1) as you might expect.

With every episode of Community's third season reviewed, it's time for a huge wrap up episode to look at the final grades, our favorites (and least favorites), the big storylines, and how this season ranks compared to the first two!

Season 3 comes to a conclusion with Intro to Finality (S3E22), a decidedly mixed episode full of laughs, costumes, and disturbing questions about the multiverse. Also, sorry for our month-long absence!

The Changrolution is in full swing at Greendale, and only an ELABORATE HEIST (plus a rave) will save the day! Join the CR101 crew as they tackle First Chang Dynasty (S3E21)!

Who's got a spare quarter and the Konami code? It's the only way that the CR101 crew is going to beat "Digital Estate Planning" (S3E20) and it's masterpiece of a video game experience!

It's another round of delightfully fake flashbacks as the CR101 crew plows through the insanity of "Curriculum Unavailable" (S3E19). Hey, we're psyche majors, we got you brah!

A death in the Greendale family sends the campus spiraling into riots, a coup, and the most amazing song ever! Join CR101 as they revel in "Course Listing Unavailable" (S3E18).

Greendale gets a Law & Order makeover for the uniformly excellent "Basic Lupine Urology" (S3E17) -- and the CR101 crew tips their top hats in honor of Starface. Er, Starburns.

Community's weird Venn diagram brings about the convergence of Blade (a vampire who does not kickbox), Blade (the irresistible carnie), and a totally addicted Britta in "Origins of Vampire Mythology" (S3E15)!

For CR101's landmark 70th episode, the crew hunkers down for a spell around S3's "Pillows and Blankets." Will this Ken Burns spoof prove to be more clever or more witty in the end?

Never has the CR101 crew been so divided and so on edge -- perhaps they're picking up on the Troy vs. Abed vibes of "Digital Exploration of Interior Design" (S3E13)? Listen to how it all fell apart -- hint: It was Heather calling everyone a 'simp.'

Back from break, the CR101 crew dives right into a morass of celebrity impersonators, French Stewart, Abed being a jerk, Jeff going berserk, and Leonard getting the most respect he'll ever get in "Contemporary Impressionists" (S3E12).

It's time for a mid-season break, so the CR101 crew goes a little Community adjacent to watch some Abed-approved Inspector Spacetime! It's right space to hear this show... or is it the right... time?

We'd like to report that this episode is an insightful review of S3E11's "Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts," but the truth is that this is an unexpected documentary of Thomas fighting the worst of Australian nature with verve and whimpers. Go Thomas!

With the lampoon cannon firing at Glee and body snatchers taking over the Greendale Seven, will Greendale ever be the same? The CR101 crew gets Christmasy early this year with "Regional Holiday Music" (S3E10).

How does Batman, fooseball, and a penchant for stolen women's shoes bring the Greendale gang closer together? Find out as CR101 tackles the hilarious "Fooseball and Nocturnal Vigilantism" (S3E9)!

Meet the unexpected intersection of Luis Guzman, Apocalypse Now, and Garrett mo-capping a microscope in S3E8's "Documentary Filmmaking: Redux" -- and endure the puns, giggles, and shocked gasps of the CR101 crew as they review this episode!
