Bazinga! I Ranked Every Episode of ‘Community’

December 31, 2022

They still haven’t faded away! (CREDIT: Screenshot)

Six seasons, a movie, and an infinite amount of time spent thinking about every single episode.

Community is famously my favorite show of all time, which is to say I spend a lot of mental energy on the folks at Greendale. And specifically, right now, I’m thinking a lot about ranking the episodes. I’ve thought about that in the past, and here I continue to do so today.

Some podcasts dedicated to rewatching Community have recently finished their runs and presented their episode rankings, and it is the end of another year, so why not reveal my own personal rankings as well at this very moment? Why not indeed.

I may update this list at some point in the future. In fact, I probably will. (Indeed, I’ve already done it before.)

I’ve divided this list into sections called “tiers.” Let me know if you’d like any further explanation about this feature. (Thank you for the idea, Tiermaker.com!)

What’s wonderful about this show is that every single episode has at least one moment (usually more than one, in fact) that makes me laugh and warms my heart.

And finally I say to you, my fellow Human Beings, please let me know any thoughts you may have. Maybe you can share YOUR rankings with me and the rest of the Community Community.

Jeff’s Wacky SNL Review: Austin Butler/Lizzo

December 18, 2022

It’s Bad Christmas O’Clock (CREDIT: NBC/Screenshot)

But the truth is, Austin Butler was the host of the last new episode of Saturday Night Live of 2022. (Because “But” is part of his name.) And incidentally, Lizzo joins the “Musical Guest Twice in a Calendar Year” Club.

For this episode, since it is the Christmas show, I will be reviewing each sketch by answering the question “Would Santa Clause like this?” in the vein of the Billy on the Street game “Would Drew Barrymore Like That?”

An Announcement from Donald Trump: I don’t think Santa Claus would like this very much. I’m pretty sure he sees a lot of naughtiness in NFTs and the rest of the digital financial space.

The long and short of it is, the December 10, 2022 episode of Saturday Night Live has been hosted by Steve Martin (a long fellow) AND Martin Short (his last name is “Short”). And what’s the story, morning glory (because I watched the show on Sunday morning)? Brandi Carlile is the musical guest! I believe that this lineup is worth the price of admission.

Because this episode had two guests, I will be reviewing each sketch with two words each.

Score! The host of this particular Saturday Night Live episode is Keke Palmer. Sounds like we’re in for a treat. And the musical guest is SZA. That’s pronounced “SIZZ-uh.” She makes songs that are sizzling.

Since this is the first new episode of SNL after Thanksgiving 2022, I’m going to review each sketch by revealing what I’m thankful for from each of them.
