SYNOPSIS
First time released in HD on Blu-ray!
Featuring all 110 Episodes in glorious High Definition!
Community is a smart, exuberant comedy that was consistently ranked as one of the most inventive and original half hours on television. This ensemble comedy centers on a tight-knit group of friends who all met at what is possibly the world's worst educational institution -Greendale Community College.
Recently disbarred lawyer Jeff Winger enrolls to get a legit degree the quickest and easiest way possible, but when he starts a fake Spanish study group solely for the purpose of hooking up with a sexy classmate, he doesn’t expect to be joined by a random group of misfit fellow students. Over the course of the next 6 years, this group finds themselves involved in epic paintball battles, chicken finger conspiracies, sci-fi conventions, campus-wide pillow wars, and everything in-between. In the process, they become so much more than just a study group…they become a family.

My Thoughts:
I don't watch a lot of television shows but was interested in reviewing COMMUNITY The Complete Series Blu-ray. I've heard of it but never had watched any of it before.
I started out watching Season One and it began with a guy talking to a group of people about Greendale , a community college. A lawyer came in to see the psychology professor, who was going to go back to college because of his degree being revoked.
At the beginning it shows Pierce (Chevy Chase) who is a favorite comedian of mine. It shows him getting a hot dog in the cafeteria and dropping it, then getting a couple of pieces of bread instead of a bun.
The students gather for a study group and are like a kind of family of friends. They go back and forth together arguing and just doing a lot of chit chat. They get personal and talk about each other's personality and what they are like.
The study group is kind of a therapy group and the teacher says that they have become a "community". Actually this is a made up study group which the lawyer Jeff Winger (John McHale) formed, so it is a fake study group which they are getting together for.
Actually, the people rather seem like a group of misfits getting together in college. One of the guys wears his high school varsity jacket all the time and sneezes like a girl. They form a bond together and actually like each other.
A funny part is where the Spanish teacher (Ken Jeong) tells his class that people sometimes ask him why he teaches Spanish (he happens to be Asian). He says he tells them "it's none of your business"! He gets kind of loud at the time, then calms down and acts "kind of" normal.
Another part is when Pierce (Chevy Chase) and Jeff (Joel McHale) are together in the study group room. They have a drink of whiskey together (which one of them has a bottle in a duffel bag, along with two glasses) before they start studying.
In another scene, some of the students are holding a protest outside of the college, with them having black tape on their mouth, some holding signs and holding candles. Pierce (Chevy Chase) comes out of the college and gets his arm on fire from one of the candles when he gets too close to the candle. I guess his arm is alright because later there is nothing wrong with his arm.
I like when Pierce and another student are supposed to do a presentation in Spanish class and have tiny sombreros on their heads. It shows them dancing around, with music playing in the background.
In an accounting class, the professor tells the students to open their books, then close them and throw them away. He then proceeds to tell them there are no tests or papers. Then he tells them to take their shoes off and go out the door. In another episode he tells one of the students that she will get an "A" if she can tell him why she is going to Greendale. Then he tells them to stand on their desks, and one of the students fall down. He then tells them their homework is to go swim in the lake.
So far, I am rather enjoying watching this series. There have been some humorous scenes and the show is something that grows on you I think. You want to continue watching it.
There are 12 discs in this set and it is rated PG. If you are interested you can find it on Amazon for $57.62.
