71 Reviews of the Best Show on TV- Community: "The Pilot"

WileyDan here!

I am embarking on an amazing Journey: 71 Days of Community! I have seen all the episodes of this hilarious show (some of them multiple times), and have decided to rewatch one a day, now that the dreaded summer hiatus is upon us. Feel free to follow along with me  and rewatch the shows each day. I am excited to watch all these shows again and laugh my face off along the way. Drop a comment and let me know whatcha think of my review. Also, after watching all the episodes, I will release my rankings of the episodes from 71-to totally ridiculously awesome.

So without further ado...

Season 1, Episode 1
"Pilot"

After seeing all the shows, this one seems weird. The first time I saw it I was in awe of the hilariousness of the show. I finished watching it and afterward, I had to watch the next one. Jeff, a lawyer who just lost his license, is forced to go to college again. He pretends to be a tutor to pick up a "hot blonde", Britta, and ends up creating a real Spanish group, forming a bond between seven unlikely characters.

Top 5 Best Lines

Dean Pelton: That's what you've heard, however----I wish you luck!

Duncan: I thought you had a Bachelor's from Columbia.
Jeff: And now I have to get one from America...and it can't be an e-mail attachment.

Jeff: A six year old girl could talk to you that way!
Duncan: Yes, because that would be adorable.
Jeff: No, because you're a five year old girl, and there's a pecking order.

Troy: That means you do my homework, right, Seacrest?

Troy and Pierce giggling: Aspergers.

Miscellaneous Thingamajigs

Jeff is wearing Adidas sweatpants. Not really a Jeff look in future episodes.

The Community open isn't here yet, but I didn't mind.

Abed was like on crack this episode, but still unbelievably funny, and the episode's MVP.

This was a good episode, though it is always hard to judge a pilot. I am glad they went in a different direction than they could have (and also made Abed less "Pilot Abed")
Final Grade

76% A good, but not great opening to this funny serious. Admittedly the first time I saw this show I would have rated it higher, on pure ignorance on how great the rest of the series would truly be.

Ranking them 1-71

1. "Pilot"

Homework

Learn a Spanish word so you can hit on the hot blonde.

That's all, I'm outie.
