Men and Women Overboard

I thought last night's Community was lovely, and surprising in a lot of ways.  As I wrote in the recap:

Community draws much of its charm from the fact that its setting, unlike a traditional four-year college—be it Ivy tower or state school—brings together people at very different points in their lives. But as the study group at the show's core coalesced, the sitcom's spent less time addressing their anxieties about the fact that they're at Greendale Community College, whether as the result of a divorce, a pill addiction, or a misrepresentation of a Colombia degree as a Columbia degree. In last night's episode, as the characters struggled with classes they thought would be easy A's, that anxiousness came to the fore.

Plus there were boats!  And hilariously-shaped pots!  The crew's parking-lot rescue of Pierce may stand as a high point in all-time gentle sitcom surreality.
