Community: Season 1, Ep. 5 and Ep. 6 – ‘Advanced Criminal Law’ and ‘Football, Feminism and You.’

Community: Season 1, Ep. 3 and Ep. 4 – ‘Introduction to Film’ and ‘Social Psychology.’

Considering how self-assured this show became by the end of season one, it’s weird to go back and watch the episodes when they were still finding their voice. I had forgotten how much the “Jeff is t...

Random Midday Hotness: Jamming With James, Michael and Prince.
