    Waiting for months to see this piece of garbage was so disappointing. I loved the show the past three seasons, but this first episode was so bad. The AbedTV thing that goes to a laugh track and multi-camera was not funny at all. The Dean was the best part of the episode, but overall it was not good, they jumped around so much with the story.
    
    It better get better than this.

    I enjoyed it. Not the best Community's delivered, but probably not the worst. I had quite a few laugh-out-loud moments (oh man, STORAGE WARS!!)...but I agree, it's a little off. It just seemed like they were doing TOO MUCH in one.
    
    My problem with this episode was this: Community's parodies & homages - and even references - to single pop-culture events have been great in the past because they've been so detailed and so specific in their execution. My Dinner with Andre, Apocalypse Now: Redux, Law & Order - their parodies all worked because they nailed every aspect of them, and they were all pointedly purposeful. The Hunger Games, muppet babies and multicam schticks they did tonight seemed more like "ooh, look what we can do", rather than something with a point.
    
    That being said, I'm REALLY glad the show is back, and I'm still keeping my hopes up...

    I hope this show will actually get the ratings it deserves. Honestly, though, I don't see it surviving past this season.
