Jan 11, 2012Go Greendale! The best comedy show on air. Each episode is a surprise, and humor is bright and quick. The characters have extreme personalities, but this is fun!
Each week waiting for the new episode, and now I hope that NBC continues it! Please!
Sep 6, 2010This is my favorite comedy show since arrested development. Full of references and parodies. Hilarious and superb writing. The paintball episode may be the best in television history.
Nov 19, 2010Never before in my young life have a seen a show funnier than Community. An enormously funny cast. Danny Pudi's performance is amazing. Why this show wasn't nominated for any Emmy's is beyond me. This show is streets ahead!
Sep 5, 2010As an avid tv buff I'd place this somewhere in the realm of Friends, Scrubs and Arrested Development in different ways. Likable Characters, Witty banter, Good Spoofing of pop culture, and overall a win in my book. With my expierience in seeing great shows that gather a cult following only after having been canceled ( Dead Like Me, Pushing Up Daisies, Better Off Ted ) , I hope that the execs read these user reviews on Metacritic and see that this is what we want to see.… Expand
Oct 17, 2010Its consistency was almost enough to stop watching it, but the series really found itself over the course of the season and provided a couple of perfect parody episodes ("Modern Warfare," "Contemporary American Poultry"). Joel McHale is pitch-perfect and the entire ensemble is great.
Apr 12, 2011The absolutely best show on television right now. The first season starts off a little slow as it takes a few episodes for the cast to really find their legs. After the first four or five episodes though it really starts to click on all cylinders and is one of the funniest, most surprisingly touching shows around. The DVD's really hold up to repeated viewings as well. (and it only seems to be getting better as the second season has been just as good as the first)
The whole cast is amazing but I would like to give a special recognition to Donald Glover as Troy. Dude is hilarious. Also Alison Brie, I love you! Please marry me! :-P
Highlight episodes of the first season include: Modern Warfare, American Poultry
(for the second season I highly recommend the Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas; there are a bunch of others too but that one is really good)… Expand
Sep 7, 2010One of the funniest shows on TV right now along with The Big Bang Theory. Danny Pudi (Abed) should be considered a top contender for an Emmy next year. One of the best ensemble casts since Friends in my opinion. You can never go wrong with Chevy Chase. Side note: Alison Brie...Wow...I want to kiss her face.
Oct 8, 2010This smart, upbeat show, takes us on a great sitcom adventure. Not a dull moment in the show! One of the best comidies since "The Big Bang Theory". The show is witty and creative and should be nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy. The acting is superb and amazing. This is one of the best TV shows I've ever seen and I hope you guys get a chance to watch it.
Aug 22, 2011It's like watching an inside joke that they never let you in on. Are these people supposed to be funny or likable or even interesting? Listening to people rave about this show is like when the kid in high school tells you how great the school newspaper is. Dull writing, unfunny cast.
Apr 23, 2011This is my favorite TV show. the role of Chevy Chase as Peirce Hawthorne perfectly fits him. I love the community. The characters might be middle aged or in their 20's but they sure know a lot about comedy. :))
Oct 23, 2011Honestly the best comedy on TV right now. Funny, insightful and often thought provoking, Community works on many emotional levels. I look forward to it every week and hope that people give it the chance it deserves. In a world full of people who think The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men are the epitome of comedy, we need more shows like Community willing to push the boundaries and try something new.… Expand
Jan 19, 2012I'll admit the pilot and start of Season 1 may seem very forced but Iove how this show develops! It's one that once I started watching I'd say "one more episode..." to myself. Definitely up there with Arrested Development and Clone High on the humour stakes.
Feb 17, 2012There are a few shows that push the boundaries and move into something of a creative realm. This is one of those shows; with constant nods to movies, and othe pop culture it is a show made for and appreciated well. There are episodes that stand out like the Paintball episodes, Abeds claymation episode, and others. Written well and acted well.
Sep 8, 2010The first new comedy I've been excited by since, well, since I don't know when -- years. Utterly original. Equal parts wry self-awareness and spit-your-food-out hilarity. And lest I neglect to mention Donald Glover...
Jan 1, 2011Holy crap NBC made something I actually like. The cast is superb, love Ken Jong, Chevy Chase, John Oliver, Joel McHale is classic. Watching Pierce (Chevy) fall down and knock stuff over is still funny. Love Abed and Troy. Just a fun show. Lots of references and spoofs. HEH!
Nov 19, 2010This is the best show on tv, right up there with the office. I seems that people that don't like this show are either old or have a horrible sense of humour.
Mar 28, 2011It took me a while to find Community; I had stumbled by chance on the paintball episode and enjoyed it immensely, but it was really only after a friend insisted I watch the whole series did I give it my full attention. It does start quite slowly, and while the initial episodes are still good, the humour is not completely there and the characters are quite different. But once it found it's feet, it became compulsive viewing, to the point where I became a little obsessed. Obviously, the paintball episode is a standout for so many reasons, but some of my favourite episodes are just character-based. Britta and Jeff getting involved in Annie's love life, the 'new Pierce,' Baggels... And then there is anything involving Troy and Abed: KickPuncher, the Spanish Rap, Troy and Abed in the Morning, Batman... By the end of the season there was just so much to love about this show. It's jam-packed FULL of pop cultures references, consistently clever writing and a raft of interesting, three-dimensional, relatable characters. Brilliant.… Expand
Mar 5, 2011Community, created in 2009 as an addition to NBC's Thursday comedy night, is a completely unnecessary addition to new TV programing. First off, the concept of the show is incredibly boring. While trying to follow increasingly popular "workplace comedy" mold, the creators of the show stumbled upon the idea of a community college, where everyone is a total loser. This could be seen as "fresh" or "creative," but really it just feels sloppy.
In addition to the premise of the show being dull, the individual episodes are daft and unappealing. Each episode follows the exact same plot line as the previous one; the characters will find their way into an (at first seemingly appealing) problem, which is then overplayed throughout the episode, and finally concluded when Joel McHale makes a shrewd yet meaningless speech about the rest of the character's problems.
Unfortunately, the main issue with the show is neither the concept or the episode's plot lines. It is simply the characters. Each cast member and the character they portray is unlikable in their own individual way. The writers of the show obviously thought it would be clever to form a group of losers lead by one incredibly egocentric individual. Unfortunately, Joel McHale's character (Jeff Winger) is not charming, or even somewhat intelligent and, instead, comes off as snide and narcissistic. The rest of the cast is even less enjoyable; Gillian Jacobs (Britta Perry) is much too irritable, Alison Brie (Annie Edison) is astonishingly annoying to listen to, Danny Pudi (Abed Nadir) is painstakingly overplayed, Donald Glover (Troy Barnes) has almost no personality whatsoever, Yvette Nicole Brown (Shirley Bennett) has a humor that gets old very quickly, and Chevy Chase (Pierce Hawthorne) is utterly unnecessary and was clearly only put on the show for his name in the credits. As a group, the ensemble of characters make up a very unlikable cast.
In conclusion, the fans of Community are mistaking the show's flaws for it being "off the wall." Actually, the show is really just made up of a group of unfunny writers who think that they're much smarter than they actually are and a mismatched cast that can't get enough of themselves. Community attempts to copy 30 Rock's absurd hit-or-miss concept, but unfortunately it's hits are much outweighed by it's misses.… Expand
Mar 11, 2011Love this show. One of my favorites. Hilarious with such an awesome cast. They have such good chemistry and Joel McHale is always hilarious. The characters are all so likable and fun. I always tune in on Thursday!
Jun 16, 2011This has been my new favorite NBC comedy since The Office got cancelled after only TWO seasons! (I know it wasn't cancelled but I like to pretend that everything after season 2 never happened). For movie/tv/music/pop culture/ comic book nerds or fanboy/girls this show is for you. it has something for everyone. troy and abed in the morning!
Feb 13, 2012This is the funniest show on television right now. If you are new to the show don't start with the pilot, I really get the feeling that because the pilot sucked they thought it would be scrapped so told the writers to do whatever until they got the axe. After the first run of episodes the show finds its stride so I would really recommend watching this show in case its cancelled for good.
May 26, 2011This show just keeps getting better. Possibly the best show on TV, I love those paintball episodes. actually it is the best show on TV with fantastic acting end amazing writing, I have a feeling season three will be even better.
Jun 8, 2011This show is awesome. I spent days watching episode after episode. Its Originality and humour is what makes the show so entertaining. Every episode has a different message it comes across, relating to either friendship values, or general moral ethics. The characters are all part of a study group that is runned by Jeff Winger. Its funny how the group depend on him to do just about everything, whether it is to talk about someone's issues or whether its to calm an individual down or even whether its to start a conversation. He acts as a father figure in the group but he does so in such a snobbish way. His litigant past makes him a very experienced public speaker and has a very sophisticated way of interpreting his ideas. In the last few episodes he has started to be way to presumptuous and his arrogance is starting to be a little irritating. All the other characters fit the group like a glove. I love Abed's inexpressive and fantasy driven character. his friendship with Troy, another unique character, is what makes the show. One character that I gradually started to be indiferent about , despite the fact that he is Hilariously crude, is Peirce. He is SOOO funny but sometimes crosses the line. Another character that I am uneasy about is the Dean. He is soo gay that it pisses me off. Get him off the show. the little end clips are epic.
cant wait for the next season.… Expand
Jun 23, 2011Great characters, well-written witticisms... The show delivers, though perhaps not quite as boldly as NBC's other Thursday night comedies. Still perfectly enjoyable week after week.
Jun 29, 2011In the time where the dominant sitcom on television world-wide are re-runs of a show which stars a drug fuelled womanizer whose famous for living with his â
Sep 15, 2011A solid start to a show that gets SO much better. "Community" does a fine job of establishing characters here, they're just not quite so fluid on the execution.
Sep 26, 2011Currently my favourite show on TV. From their parodies to the lovable characters, this show excels on all levels. Dan Harmon is a genius.
Very meta... Very good.
Oct 3, 2011OK, well the first season I thought I liked the show, had some interesting twists. But as the second season came along, and now this one...it's just getting weirder and weirder. I just don't enjoy the show any more.
Oct 13, 2011One of the best comedies I have watched in a long time, so much scope for development for the characters within the main cast, and outside too. I cant see anyone being disappointed in this. First class. Modern Warfare is possibly the funniest episode of anything I've ever watched!
Dec 20, 2011Growing every episode, worst being the pilot. Fresh, imaginative and funny, it's one of these shows you wish never end. Great characters, I like them to be that fantastic (in a fantasy way), but if you look deeper, you may find them astonishing real.
Jan 6, 2012My sister got me to watch the first paintball episode. From then on, I was watching it regularly. I love the characters and the comedy. The consistency has been lacking, though; between the good episodes and the occasional standout is the occasional lame episode. As someone who loves the show, that won't stop me from coming back next week...but when I recommend the show to a friend and their first experience is a mediocre one, I can't blame them for giving this show a pass.… Expand
Jan 23, 2012You either love or hate show, and I can't stand it. In my opinion, this show caters to people with a schizoid-type personality: socially awkward, eccentric, snarky, emotionally flat, critical, pretentious, quiet, and very neurotic. Just my two cents.
Aug 30, 2012it is a great sitcom because you don't have does annoying fake laughs
Mar 12, 2012Best comedy currently on NBC. As good as Arrested Development and Modern Family. This show puts Big Bang Theory to shame.
May 14, 2013This is absolutely the funniest comedy I have ever seen. Previously I had believed that The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Arrested Developments were all excellent comedy shows but Community absolutely blows them out of the water. The writing is fresh, the characters unique and exciting, the plots are fun and engaging, and it all blends together for one of the most hysterical and enjoyable experiences on TV. I highly recommend this show to anyone looking for a laugh or just for a simple night of entertainment.… Expand
Oct 21, 2012this show gets a lot of undue attention on the internet, where fans seem to paint it as the Breaking Bad of comedy in terms of quality of writing and acting. this is not the case. this is the same mediocre comedy that's been on television for decades, only they've left out the laugh track. is the cast great? yes. but the writing and direction is also mediocre and occasionally embarrassingly awful. this show doesn't hit the highs of the greatest television sitcoms, like the first few seasons of the American Office or Arrested Development. not even close. the fact that it (and the similarly mediocre/redundant/derivative Parks & Recreation) has been attributed so much hype only shows how stale network sitcoms have become.… Expand
Jan 21, 2011The first season of Community is a mixed bag, but its definitely more good than bad. Thing is that I don't think the show is one of the funniest sitcoms to have recently aired, what I think Community has is this sense of fun, excitement, etc. that allows it to do things like the ' probably going to be a classic ' episode "Modern Warfare". It has some problems, sure, like the endless pop culture references that Abed throws at us, can get annoying at a certain point, but it mostly works. But keep watching, it gets way better on its second season.… Expand
Dec 27, 2010Smart show with fantastic references and unrealistic dialogue, but it's a comedy and that's to be somewhat expected. Only has one useless character (Shirley) and rarely has a stale episode. Those that are stale still have good writing. By far, the funniest sitcom on broadcast television. I look forward to every episode.
Jan 25, 2011I am so glad this show is on TV. It is one of the most well writting series I have ever watched and the characters are amazing. I urge you to watch this show!
Dec 8, 2011Best show on television. The comedy is fresh original and smart. We need more shows with this much originality on tv. I wish more people would discover this show so it stays on the air.
Feb 11, 2011The one problem with this show is that every episode is only 30 minutes long, always leaving me wanting more. Every episode is absolutely hilarious and the writing is fantastic. Not only does it make fun of every genre of television and movies, it makes fun of what their show is about. They play to the fact that its a group of friends from all different backgrounds. Every character is well developed and even the side characters that are only in a few episodes service the show in a perfect way. Starburns' is a mystery in himself and the Dean is never fully explained but that adds to their characters. This show is perfect and is one of the funniest shows on television.… Expand
Feb 13, 2011This is probably my favorite current sitcom. Though several episodes feel a bit off in terms of pacing and plot, I find myself genuinely interested in the story and characters on a week-to-week basis.
Mar 15, 2012In order to appreciate Community, it's necessary to be patient and watch the characters development. I fell in love with it after the first episode, but it took a few episodes for others to understand the characters and humor. Unlike the Big Bang Theory and other spoon-fed sticoms, the humor is in layers and requires an attentive mind that can pick up quick references, in a similar way that Arrested Development was written. It's a unique series, and I hope that after the hiatus it can continue to deliver the quirkiness and weirdness I've grown to love and appreciate.… Expand
May 26, 2013Set in Greendale Community college Community centres around a group of seven misfits who at first have nothing in common other than the fact that they all in Senor Chang's Spanish 101 class yet, despite their contrasting personalities, they soon form a tight knit group.
For me Community, with its mix of oddball characters and self-awareness, can be most closely compared to another excellent sitcom in Arrested Development. As with Arrested Development this first season does take a few episodes to really get going but, once viewers become familiar with the characters, it is rare that an episode fails to deliver plenty of laughs and any film/TV nerds like me will just love episodes like 'Modern Warfare'. With such attention to detail every episode can be enjoyed over and over again as each time you will spot or pick up on something you missed the first time around. I hope Community stays around for as long as possible.… Expand
Dec 30, 2011Okay, so because it was on NBC I didn't give the show a shot when its first season aired because to be honest most of what NBC calls funny (i.e. Seinfeld and Friends, etc) I don't find funny. But when Season 2 was running (almost end of Season 2) I watched a clip of the Fistful of Paintballs and I was in. I immediately gobbled up what I could on Hulu and then backtracked from there. Its just too good to describe in 150 words. Watch it, tell your friends, and save it.… Expand
Nov 8, 2011This show is absolutely hilarious, with extremely fast paced jokes, making the episodes worth watching more than once. Community has a variety of different spoofs nearly each episode, and makes viewers laugh for hours on end. I highly recommend this show.
Dec 22, 2011Troy and Abed in the mooooooooooorn-ing!
best show, unique dynamic, likeable character, great storylines, stop motion xmas special, a john woo paintball style episode, and an awesome zombie episode! so good!
Jan 15, 2013Community is just, well it can't be described in words unfortunately. Community is by far the best comedy show/series since friends in my opinion. Yes it IS that good, just watch it and you will know why, it's just unexplanable.
Jan 15, 2013The most astoundingnly, clever comedy to grace the small screen since Friends and Seinfeld. God, this comedy series just can't be described in words. You have to watch it imo, if you aren't you're really missing out.
Dec 22, 2011By far my favourite TV show on air! It is smart, hilarious and there couldn't have been a better cast. The first 2 seasons were amazing it's only a shame they're on hiatus...for now hopefully!
Jan 14, 2014The first season for Community set the ground work for what it would eventually become but it went through a bit of a rough patch in its infancy. Sure, some of the storylines in the first season set up classic ones in the coming seasons but this show fell prey to some obvious T.V. tropes that set it back. It wasn't till the second season, where it established its own identity that it took off. That's not to say this was a bad season. It was far better than most of the crap they put on T.V. and call "comedy" but it never really had an identity. The biggest thing was the characters didn't really develop, except for Abed. Abed quickly became the best part of the show with his witty dialogue and wonderful interaction with the rest of the cast. He really carried this first season, while the rest of the characters took longer to develop, with some even waiting till the following seasons to grow as a character. The show was good but it took something else to make it a classic, and that's what it got in season 2. But this first season is still good and I would definitely recommend watching it before going to season 2.… Expand
Jan 1, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the best comedy show ever nough said… Expand
Dec 29, 2011First off I would like to point out most of the Negative reviews aren't justified, I mean this guy "Ibolen" quote "well the first season I thought I liked the show, had some interesting twists. But as the second season came along, and now this one...it's just getting weirder and weirder. I just don't enjoy the show any more." And gives the show a zero, how does that make sense?
Getting down to the actual review, I find it to be humorous show which has unique laughs that rely on creative input only this show can pull off. They are mostly small chuckles, but also big laughs. I found myself once crying from laughter at a perfect joke pulled off by one actor (Donald Glover), they are sophisticated jokes based on previous episodes or from popular culture so it is understandable if you've missed certain episodes or references you may not find it funny, but for those who recognize it is very enjoyable. This is what I find most attracting about this type of show (similar to Arrested Development) it has a solid story line and continually maintains it through out the series whilst making frequent jokes along the way.
I can understand why this show doesn't pull off as many views as say the big bang theory. It isn't because it is too 'intelligent' or sophisticated for 'American people'. I think it is because most people tend to not follow series when watching television. This finish work and watch whatever is on that has the quickest appeal to them regardless of the shows that have critical acclaim, this meaning sitcoms that have less 'inside jokes' and easiest to comprehend are the view winners.
But the funny thing is I bought a copy dvd of Community s1&2 and I offered it to my little brother who had previously several times rejected my pleas to watch this show. He watched it in less than a week and actually enjoyed it, more than that he watched season 3 episodes on tv and now laughs at all the jokes and now is supporting #sixseasonsandamovie.… Expand
Apr 23, 2012Arguably the funniest show on TV. Season 1 is perfect. Season 2 is great. Season 3 is still pretty awesome (although there have been a few misses). Regardless I hope it gets one more season and finishes out all the plot and story lines. Always excited for it every week.
May 18, 2012This a world were fan-service rubbish like Sherlock has universal acclamation and a show that actually is clever has critics panning it. Community actually is a truly smart show with actual plots and writers that care about more than turning out "super-rad" one-liners. In what universe are NBC comedies staring Joe McHale smarter than BBC series with Martin Freedman? This one I guess. We may be in the worst possible time-stream. everybody cut out a beard.… Expand
Jun 8, 2012Took me a while to figure out this is the "Arrested Development" of the twenty-teens (or at least the closest thing to AD). Now I'm going back thru seasons one and two and catching episodes I missed.
Jul 2, 2012The show gets better and better each season. Donald Glover (Troy) is hilarious every episode with his one liners. You will laugh out loud every episode and quote lines on a daily basis. Gets strange at sometimes but maintains the comedy.
Oct 29, 2012this is one of the best comedy shows on the tv. I love it! i'm so happy Comedy Central showing it in the netherlands! Best character for me is Ken Jeong.
Jan 5, 2013The smartest sit-com on TV. Filled with tons of little gems but it probably will take viewing a few episodes to get past the sit-com format and see the underlying brilliance.
Nov 20, 2012This show is hilarious the only reason i watched it was because of Chevy Chase. This show is a show for everyone, one episode will be western themed, the next a Christmas cartoon themed, and then a musical episode. Then of course the show has "normal" episodes. But what I am trying to say is,it is unlike anything else out there on television.
Jan 29, 2013My favourite show on Television right now. Took me a while to get into, but I adore it now. The script is funny and occasionally delightfully offensive. I can understand why people who actually attend community college would be insulted by the 'community college students are all losers' stereotype Community portrays, but I, personally, absolutely adore it.
Jan 30, 2013It took me about 6 episodes but I now love this show. It's weird, unique and fresh. Despise Chevy Chase (in general) but absolutely love everyone else.
Jan 30, 2013This show is sooo boring. The actors are not funny at all. I love comedies but this show just really bored me to tears. Plus Joel McHale has gotten so arrogant since he was on The Soup.
Jun 17, 2013Loved everything about the first 3 episodes, yes I just started but who cares I'm lucky. So far it shows romantic and a funny storyline along with a heartfelt family like study group. Perfect.
Aug 22, 2014Community is one of my favorite shows of all time. The best part is the show is always managing to find something to do. From D&D to paintball, they never feel like there not doing something awesome. There is an entire episode where they search for a pen in the study room and they even lampshade there in a bottle episode and it is utterly perfect. Theirs an episode with Zombies, three about Blanket forts with one being a pillow fight between the legit country of Pillowtown and Blanketsburg, an episode in a 8-bit video game, and a entire episode showing the creation of seven different timelines depending on who goes to get the pizza. It's the fact that these are all so crazy and weird that the fact they work perfectly and hilariously makes this show the greatest ever willing to do ideas and plots other shows won't touch. The mere fact they can have the group sit in the study room all episode playing D&D, looking for a pen or being interrogated with a lied detector and have it be a highlight of the season makes it perfectly utterly brilliant. The cast is also excellent with Danny Pudi, Donald Glover, and Alison Brie being just awesome. I would go on but I'm running out of words and comparisons to make so you can understand how good it is.… Expand
Aug 1, 2013The start to one of the best series that has ever aired. The first 6 episodes are poor in comparison to the rest of the series and another comedy series. If you have patience and manage to get past the terrible first episode.
Sep 9, 2013One of the most underrated shows in the industry. With the exception of the fourth season, this show is witty, unconventional, and well-written with characters I've come to love. Definitely a show I look forward to (when Dan Harmon writes).
Nov 26, 2013This show is extremely funny with a great plot. It has that fresh feeling that actually gives me a fresh feeling. I don't think a show has ever done that in a long time.
Feb 17, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I gotta say I was afraid of what would happen to the show after Pierce and Troy left, but this episode [S05 E06] was awesome. The new members of the "greendale seven" are as good as the old ones. Professor Duncan should continue being a regular character. I would love for Abed to start a weird romantic relationship, they could be the new weird 'couple'. All in all, I think that the show is taking an amazing path and I'm really enjoying those old characters coming back.… Expand
Nov 23, 2013The first season is amazingly funny and characters are great to watch. In later seasons thou it like some dropped the ball and the show turns into a kind of caricature of it self
Dec 11, 2013Over the course of its first season, I have really come to like "Community" very much. The highlights of the first season are "Comparative Religion" (episode 12) and "Modern Warfare" (episode 23). Every episode is unique in its own way by either parodying some cult movie or just playing with the dynamics and relationships between the characters.
May 9, 2014The best part of a new show is when you truly enjoy every bit of it. Community is this fresh new take on meta humor and great writing that gives this show a whole new following with its brilliant cast and crew.
Feb 14, 2014The best comedy show ever...... first 3 episode are a little slow, but after that it's a joy ride. very few shows can match the kind of charisma this show has.
Feb 16, 2014Community Season 1 is one of the Best Tv Shows out today, with its smart humor I've never laughed so hard I can easily say this is one of my favorite shows of all time, I'm so glad i found out about this show.
Jul 17, 2014Some Community episodes are immature, but some are so immature that they're either very good or so ridiculously funny (Paintball War, Zombie Apocalypse, etc.).
Apr 10, 2014This is by far the cleverest comedy on tv, dialogs are incredibly witty, the characters development through the 5 seasons has been crazy funny, this is not the tipical sicom and thats precisely its hightlight.
Nov 1, 2014This is one of the best comedy TV shows out there. Filled with movie/TV references, spoofs, and many more. Also, acting by Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, and Danny Pudi are excellent. Would definitely recommend to all people who wants a good laugh. Thank god for Yahoo for reviving this show. #sixseasonsandamovie
If creator/writer Dan Harmon earns only a "C" for the framework of his show, he gets higher grades for its brisk pace and clever writing. And some extra credit is in order for casting, as well.
As long as the jokes stay barbed, fast and witty--as they are in the pilot--there's more than enough reason to keep following the band of misfits.
Community embraces the traditional sitcom notion of "family" being what you make of it, but it's a little too self-conscious about the genre's cliches--or at least, feels that way because its satirical elements aren't as crisp as they need to be.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Tiger Woods (1 over par) and Phil Mickelson (2 over) know they'll need to play lights-out this weekend to have a chance in the PGA Championship.
''I need to hit it better than I have,'' Woods said Friday. ''I have to go out there and post something in the mid to low 60s, like some of the guys did today. It definitely can be done.''
''I struggled these first two days, for sure,'' Mickelson said. ''I have to shoot 6 or 7 under par tomorrow to have a chance on Sunday.''
Rory roars
On the brink of missing the cut, which ended up being 3 over par, defending PGA champion Rory McIlroy birdied four of his last seven holes. His 39-32 got him to even par after 36 holes.
''I'm obviously pretty happy,'' McIlroy said.
No small comfort
A pair of 76s left Mike Small 12 over par after two rounds, far from making the cut for the fourth time in nine PGA appearances. It also left Small heading home frustrated.
''I brought nothing to the table all week,'' the Illinois golf coach said. ''You have to hit the fairways, and I had trouble hitting it inside the ropes, let alone the fairways. This is my third event since November, but no excuses. I have to get better.''
The PGA's other three Illini — Steve Stricker (5 under), Luke Guthrie (2 over) and D.A. Points (3 over) — are still alive.

To wrap up the fall 2010 season, I'd like to congratulate several high schools teams on a job well done.
With All-Region and All-State considerations around the corner, I'd like to hand out a few fall sports awards of my own.For my Team of the Year award, I'd like to nominate the Sedona Red Rock High School cross country team.
The Scorpions girls were outstanding in 2010, winning the first Division IV Section II championship in October and coming only 35 points away from claiming their first state title.
Sedona finished second overall at the Cave Creek Golf Course in Phoenix in early November at the Division IV State Championships behind cross country juggernaut, Hopi High School.
Individually, Sedona had at least three different girls win a race this season, with sophomore standouts Mykala Seresun, Taylor Gage and Eva Wilson leading the way. Senior Hope Goimarac won a race or two as well, making it the most successful cross country team the Scorpions have had in school history.
Receiving my runner-up Team of the Year award is the Sedona volleyball team.
Sedona claimed the 3A West region tournament championship over Wickenburg High School in October, and finished 30-4 overall this fall. It was Sedona's fourth consecutive West region championship.
Although the No. 5-seed Scorpions were impressive this season, they were upset by No. 12 Snowflake High School in the first round of the 3A conference state tournament, prematurely ending their season.
For my Surprise Team of the Year award, the Camp Verde High School volleyball team could not be overlooked.
Second-year Head Coach Darcy Evans and her Cowboys finished ranked No. 17 in the 2A conference state playoffs. Camp Verde finished 15-15 overall this season after winning only a handful of matches in 2009.
The Cowboys qualified for the state playoffs after missing them all-together in 2009 but lost to No. 16 Horizon Honors High School in the first round, 3-0.
Key victories over several 2A Central region opponents and rival Chino Valley High School may earn Evans a coach of the year award from her peers.
As for a special mention in my Surprise Team of the Year award, I'd like to nominate the Mingus Union High School golf team.
The Marauders, under the tutelage of Head Coach Craig Mai, missed the Division II State Championships by only a few strokes, but were outstanding throughout regular season action.
Led by the play of senior Mike Rebstein, Mingus recorded several victories at dual matches this year.
With many young golfers coming up, the Marauders could be a solid team over the next two years.
As for the individual section of my fall sports awards column, I'd like to start with my Athlete of the Year nomination.
Camp Verde football senior Tanner Rezzonico was outstanding this fall and received an All-State selection by The Arizona Republic last month.
Rezzonico led the Cowboys in rushing with 854 yards, averaging 77.4 yards per game on the ground, while scoring 10 touchdowns.
Rezzonico wasn't bad on defense either, finishing second overall in tackles with 97, including one interception and one fumble recovery.
Receiving my runner-up Athlete of the Year award, Sedona's Evan Decker was outstanding in the water this season helping the Scorpions to a solid finish at state.
Decker won several events for the Scorpions and finished third overall at the Division II State Championships in November with a 1:59.65 time in the 200-meter individual medley.
And last, but not least, my nomination for the Coach of the Year award goes to long-time Mingus football Head Coach Bob Young.
Young and his Marauders entered the 2010 season with high expectations. Most considered Mingus a favorite to win the 4A-II state championship after a stellar junior class carried the Marauders to the state semifinals in 2009 before losing to Santa Rita High School.
This year, despite one devastating injury after another, the Marauders finished with an impressive 9-3 overall record, but lost to Notre Dame Preparatory Academy less than two weeks ago, ending its season.
Young, despite numerous injuries, kept the Mingus ship afloat, and the Marauders wound up having a stellar season.
Congratulations to all the award winners for the fall 2010 season, and we look forward to many fall athletes returning to the field of play for the winter sports.

House Takes Shot At Weapons Bills
Bills dealing with firearms in Wyoming will see some rather animated debate this week – however perhaps the most hotly debated one, says Representative Jim Roscoe, will be the one dealing with concealed weapons. Roscoe says law enforcement agencies in his district are split in their opinions of the measure. The bill as passed out of the Senate would authorize the carrying of concealed weapons by persons without a concealed weapon permit as previously required; amend a restriction on where a concealed firearm may be carried; specify new penalties for a second or subsequent offenses; and provide for an effective date of the relaxed law. Meanwhile, a bill introduced by Roscoe to retrofit a number of state vehicles enabling them to use natural gas has gone into the Senate Transportation Committee, and Roscoe says he will speak to them about the measure tonight.

He added full engine power to stop the descent, but the airplane continued to descend, and impacted an area of down sloping, rock-covered terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, wings, and empennage. The pilot indicated that there were no preaccident mechanical problems with the airplane.

MANSFIELD, La. (AP) - Jury selection for a Keatchie man accused in the March 30, 2010, death of 12-year-old Justin M. Bloxom, of Stonewall, will begin June 24 in Lafayette.
The Times reports once selected, the panel will be taken to DeSoto Parish, where it will hear the evidence in the first-degree murder trial of Brian Horn. The capital case is expected to extend over several weeks.
The state is seeking the death penalty.
Bloxom's body was found in a wooded area off U.S. Highway 171 near Stonewall after he had been reported missing from a friend's house.
DeSoto Parish sheriff's investigators say Horn picked up Bloxom in his car after posing as a young female through text messages, then killed him.
A status conference is scheduled for Feb. 20 in DeSoto District Court to give the defense and state the opportunity to review any unresolved issues. It's uncertain if new motions have been filed.
The file in the DeSoto Clerk of Court's office is sealed from public viewing.
In October, Burgess denied all but one of a half-dozen pending motions.
The only motion getting his approval was the one in which Horn, a twice-convicted sex offender, asked not to be referred to as either "homosexual" or "bisexual" during his trial.
Defense attorney Daryl Gold, who assumed the role of lead counsel for Horn after the resignations of attorneys Ross Owen and Elton Ritchey, asked Burgess later to consider Lafayette for the jury pool.
The summer trial date was set after Burgess received confirmation from the judicial district of the availability of the courtroom.

The Bishop of Yei, in the southern Sudan, returned home a fortnight ago from Arua in Uganda, where he, his clergy and people have been living since their flight from the Sudanese war in 1990. In the devastated city of Yei, only a quarter of which is standing, the Rt Revd Semi Solomona's former home is now a patch of scrub littered with spent cartridges and shells.
Since March, some 67,000 refugees have returned from Uganda, following the changing military scene in the south of Sudan. They left their homes when fighting intensified between troops of the Sudanese government and those of the southern-based liberation movement, Sudan peoples Liberation Army (SPLA). In the past six months the SPLA has made significant military gains, and Yei is among the areas they have liberated.
Its inhabitants face a tough future. There are no roads, no electricity, no schools or hospitals. Rutted tracks, impassable in rain, are the only way into the country, so it is almost impossible to bring in basic supplies. The few lorries that can meet the challenge of three-foot-wide potholes are carrying seeds and tools - the first necessity, if people are to begin rebuilding their lives.
The evidence of violent trauma is everywhere. As you cross from Uganda into the SPLA-controlled part of South Sudan, the first sight by the roadside is a captured government tank. Next to it is the burned-out shell of a pick-up truck, now home to a dozen child POWs. Much of the countryside is land mined.
Ten kilometres outside Yei, the road crosses the site of a fierce battle. An estimated 2000 corpses still lie there, the detritus of their lives - clothing, the occasional suitcase, a set of dentures, a torn Qur'an - scattered around them. Some of the bodies are now hidden by the long grass. The stench is not.
Yet amid the devastation, new life emerges. A settlement is rising next to a burned-out military post. The earth is fertile, rain abundant, and new crops are sprouting.
Also growing is the Sudanese Church, which throughout the whole period has retained extraordinary vibrancy. It is no sentimental platitude to say that a suffering Church is always a strong and growing Church: the figures speak for themselves. The Anglican diocese of Rumbek grew from nine congregations to 357, between 1983 and 1993. In the decade from 1985, the diocese of Bor produced more than 10,000 new hymns. In the decade from 1987, four new Bible schools and one seminary were set up to develop pastoral leadership for the Sudanese churches.
The Sudanese Ambassador to Britain said recently that the Church had grown more rapidly in the 1990s than at any time in the country's history. "The government's goal of producing an Islamic society has been a failure," he said.
Since all other institutions have been destroyed, the churches now provide the only grass-roots networks for social structure and stability. They will have a crucial role in helping build up schools, clinics, and a basic infrastructure in the country.

Volkswagen Scirocco GTS commemorates 30-year anniversary of original
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on May 30th, 2012 at 4:30PM
It's been 30 years since the very first Volkswagen Scirocco GTS rolled off the assembly line. Featuring little more than a slightly reworked front valance and some trippy decal work, the original Scirocco GTS was likely most notable for the fact that it was the first in the family to rock a blacked-out B-pillar. Now Volkswagen is paying homage to the machine with a new Scirocco GTS. Unveiled at the Auto Mobil International, the modern hatch rocks the same turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, complete with 210 horsepower, as the rest of the Scirocco range. A set of racing stripes... Read More

Sorting Out the Lubes for a Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide
I have read your question and answers regarding oils in a Harley with separate case, trans, primary. I have been using Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 in all three holes. I am all about optimal product use and performance. Aside from 20-50 V Twin in the engine from what I have read it seems like Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 for motorcycles would be better in the primary, and 75-90 gear lube would be better in the trans. Is this correct? 2002 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide. Also I see you have a 75-140 gear lube. The manual does not specify weights of oil to use and it's one of Harley's marketing schemes to make you buy their oil.
-- Michael Lawton, Howell, NJ
We recommend that you keep doing what you're doing and use
Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50
in all three applications. By using a premium synthetic like Mobil 1 you are already using a high performance lubricant in your bike. Using
Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40
in your primary is an option but we would not recommend the use of an API GL-5 gear oil in your transmission. (Also see the
on API GL-5 gear oils in transmissions.)

University Hospital and Clinics is celebrating one year of service. The takeover of the former University Medical Center was all a part of Governor Jindal's push to privatize the university run health care system. Before the change, the hospital was on the brink of closing after Governor Jindal announced budget cuts to the public hospital system back in 2012.
Now, the staff at UHC has 365 reasons to celebrate.
"So for us to see this come to fruition and to see the changes we've made over this past year is so gratifying," says Lafayette General Medical Center President and CEO David Callecod.
UHC CEO Jared Stark says the hospital is thriving, thanks to the heart his employees put into their work.
"It's one thing to provide the service. It's another thing to provide an excellent service," says Stark.
Stark goes on to say they've been able to bring back programs like Orthopedics and Pediatrics, and UHC has increased their staff to over 700 people. Now, with the one year mark out of the way, Stark says they're focused on bringing even more services to patients.
"I think that one of the things that we have an opportunity to do is to communicate better with our patients. As we continue to make these changes, sometimes we don't do a great job communicating with our patients about those changes and how it benefits them. And how they can enjoy the positive changes that have come about," says Stark.

A Tuscola County teenager who flew to the Middle East last year to be with a man she met on MySpace.com has broken up with him on the "Dr. Phil" show.
Eighteen-year-old Katherine Lester told Abdullah Jinzawi he was possessive and called her names. Jinzawi watched on a monitor from the West Bank town of Jericho where he lives. Jinzawi denied being verbally abusive during questioning by host Phil McGraw.
Lester developed an online romance in 2005 with Jinzawi. She kept it secret for months before disappearing in June 2006 from her mother's home in Gilford.
Lester was en route to an Israeli airport a few days later to see Jinzawi. She was intercepted in Jordan by U.S. authorities, who seized her passport and put her on a flight to the United States.

Young stockmen graduate at KLA Convention
The sixth class of the Kansas Livestock Association Young Stockmen's Academy graduated Dec. 2 at the close of the KLA Convention. Vista from Merck Animal Health partnered with KLA to host 20 members for a series of four seminars throughout 2011. This class brings the total number of YSA alumni to 119. (Photo courtesy of KLA.)
Attending the KLA Convention was the final session for this year's class. The two-day event provided participants the opportunity to gain additional industry knowledge and interact with KLA members from across the state. YSA members got a firsthand look into the inner workings of the association by attending the KLA board meeting. The group also took part in the policy-making process by attending committee and council meetings where members discussed issues affecting their business interests. Immediately prior to the convention, YSA members received their Masters of Beef Advocacy, following an in-depth spokesperson training session with National Cattlemen's Beef Association Executive Director of Communications Daren Williams.
During the first session, which was held in Topeka in February, attendees were exposed to the legislative process, advocacy training and services provided by KLA. YSA members went to the Kansas City area in July to learn more about the agribusiness and retail beef industries during the second tour of the year. The third installment took the group to western Kansas in October, where they spent three days touring beef operations to gain a better understanding of various industry segments.
The 2011 class included Austin Cline, Frankfort; Zach Conine, Scott City; Jessica Ebert, Tescott; Kendra Frasier, Manhattan; Eric Gleue, Le Roy; Chelsea Good, Topeka; Randy Hiesterman, Palmer; Ashley Judd, Quenemo; Karaline Mayer, Paxico; Brock Miller, Leoti; Daniel Mushrush, Strong City; Cody Palen, Dodge City; Anthony Rathbun, Geneseo; Cade Rensink, Ada; Carlie Rooney, Garden City; Abe Shanholtzer, Wamego; Raymond Sproul, Sedan; Jennifer Wellnitz, Reading; Clay Wilson, Council Grove; and Katie Yunghans, Leavenworth.
KLA is a trade organization representing the business interests of members at both the state and federal levels. Voluntary dues dollars paid by producers are used for programs that benefit KLA members in the areas of legislative representation, regulatory assistance, legal troubleshooting, communications and the advancement of youth.

Rick Perry's Just Like John McCain, Except for Becoming the Nominee Blog Home Michele Bachmann Performing Badly, Even by Michele Bachmann Standards
Mitt Romney and Ron Paul Up to Their Necks in Rick Santorum
This didn't seem like it could happen, but it's happening. Rick Santorum is not only performing well, but he's statistically tied with Romney and Paul…
Ron Paul 24.1%
Rick Santorum 23.0%
Mitt Romney 22.9%
Apparently, this has a lot to do with the Iowa Evangelical vote. I guess that million dollars was a million dollars well spent.
Can he actually win? Can he pull off a Huckabee? Have I lived a good enough life to know such joy? So many questions!

Paintballs proposed as defense against ASTEROID ATTACK
An MIT graduate student has devised a plan to save the world from destruction by an inbound asteroid using a novel weapon: interplanetary paintballs. Sung Wook Paek of the Cambridge, Massachsetts, brainiac academy's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics – affectionately known as AeroAstro – entered his asteroid-deflecting …
But more importantly...
Can we control the distribution of paint in order to put an image, or logo, on the asteroid?
Then we can charge some company a modest* advertising fee for the project, which will make it entirely self-funded.
* Modest relative to most advertising projects, of course.
He who pays the piper...
...chooses the target. Come 2029 the message on Apophis will read "This Earth-impactor proudly sponsored by Aum Shinrikyo"
Great idea!
There's even another huge advantage; if the pallet attack fails then we can sue that company for sending an asteroid to us. We already have all the visual evidence we'd need!
Re: @Steve
"...if the pallet attack fails..."
You reckon it wooden work?
Re. "But more importantly..."
On the grounds that the asteroid may harbour life forms , I believe it should be afforded the same privacy as we expect. This would rule out any kind of tracking or targeted advertising. Whether or not this would have a positive impact on the end users remains to be seen ;P
Re: Re. "But more importantly..."
> afforded the same privacy as we expect.
So they'd have to opt out before we got there to spray them? That'll work, I'm sure.
Re: Re. "But more importantly..."
No different to reading the EULA before opening the packaging it's in, and THAT obviously works.
Interstellar tennis anyone?
We paint it white, send it on its way.
Eons later...
Another race paints it black, to send it on its way (away)
Eons later...
A brilliant idea
Indeed very clever. But between paint balls and a gigantic nuclear warhead I prefer the latter. Right in the middle of the asteroid. Call me crazy, but I rather obliterate something then try to move it when it comes down to my ass being destroyed.
Re: A brilliant idea
Don't you remember the lessons you learned playing Asteroids? If you blast a giant asteroid, you end up with a whole bunch of smaller, but still deadly ones. And we don't have a hyperspace button...
Re: A brilliant idea
"...I rather obliterate something THEN try to move it when it comes down to my ass being destroyed.."
You obliterate it THEN try to move it? Sounds like overkill to me. However I commend your protective feelings towards your donkey. You must really love that animal.
Re: A brilliant idea
> Call me crazy
You must be the guy with the retarded redneck role (there is one in every Hollywood movie) who comes up with MANLY PLANS that every spectator knows will go haywire and probably kill at least 20% of the likeable protagonists, including the nice young female.
Re: A brilliant idea
I might be wrong. But if you nuke it down to pieces, the overall surface exposed to sunlight increases, and thus if paint is cheap, the number of available marketing slots available is increased and so in the overall efficiency of the repulsion scheme, doesn't it?
Re: A brilliant idea
Ah, but 2 smaller rocks burn up in the atmosphere easier than 1 big, and so on. Just cracking the asteroid may be enough. I do not guarantee a nuke could crack a nut that big though.
asteroid rotation
I was under the assumption that these asteroids rotate and not show one side towards the sun all the time. Even if they are not rotating hitting them slightly off-centre can cause tumbling.
Re: asteroid rotation
Tumbling is not allowed in space. It is verboten.
Re: asteroid rotation
The paint plan actually takes the rotation into account with TWO volleys, to be fired at intervals where each half of the asteroid is in the sights.
Re: asteroid rotation
Did you RTFA?
MATLAB, not Maple
MATLAB is the Alpha and the Omega in Aero/Astro (and at MIT in general); I never saw anyone using Maple.
I thouht...
... El Reg was supposed to use SI units?
5µm? and now a method: spray painting nope; powder coating (30µm ?) nope; gold deposit ... yes, but first we need a stable base.
Not as easy as it looks
Pretty picture with nice spherical asteroid. Tiny problem, nearly all asteroids are not spherical.
The small ones likely to endanger us will have very weird shapes - see the various photos from fly-bys.
That will make it much harder to give them an even coating, and much harder to work out what the effect on the trajectory will be. And the uneven pressure is likely to gradually change the rotation rate and axis which will make the calculations even more difficult.
> 2036 visit.
Implying the US will still exist by then and not have - in a best-case scenario - defederalized and killed its whole nazi bureaucratic pyramid. In the worst case - well, it's 7.3 billion against 300 million.
What has your sociapolitical outlook on the U.S. has to do with planetary objects. The hint is name.
More likely
by then the USA will have become the next 50 provinces of China.
Paint the asteroid? Maybe in that "Feminine Pink" that was being discussed the other day? Or, if you prefer - and knowing you, you probably do - then either "Masculine Pink" or "Ladyboy Pink".
Re: Paint.
Any pink will do... we can save the planet and "raise awareness" about breast cancer at the same time!
Re: Paint.
We could cure cancer,and use the publicity to raise awareness of earth-destroying asteroids- the spare money will be up for grabs!
Re: It would then take up to 20 years
I don't like the sound of that. What if it doesn't work for some reason? Say the effect of the paint-balls hitting it, and the effect of the changed albedo cancel out. We need a plan B that could be implemented must faster. Time would be running out.
Why not use tinfoil chaff + something sticky? Surely that would have a more profound effect on the albedo so you'd need less of it.
Know of a glue that works at near-zero Kelvin?
"mass of about 27 gigatons" ?
Sounds just too high - radius is 225M, 4/3piR^3 and assuming 10tons/M3 (unrealistically heavy) = 477,000,000 tons.
Maybe the kinetic energy is equivalent to such a TNT equivalent, don't know. Would be ouchy for sure.
re: "mass of about 27 gigatons" ?
You're forgetting the secret black hole research lab hidden inside Apophis that NASA have conveniently forgotten to tell us about...
A paintball gun *that* capable..
.. would be an excellent tool for "recalibrating" speed cameras too, I think.
Not that I want to give anyone ideas, though. Just a theoretical exercise. Honest.
Thunderbirds Siberia
We need to fire up the cauldrons, obviously.
(If the hair at 7:39 is of "Earth origin" I'm a kipper.)
re: "mass of about 27 gigatons" ?
Actually, I do believe the mass should be 27 megatonnes (metric tons, for the decimally challenged among you).
http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/a99942.html <-- lists the mass as 2.7e+10 kg.
factor of 1000 fail in article.
C- must do better.
Feeble nukes
We don't have any nukes that are capable of breaking up a meteoroid of the size and type we fear, not even close. That's why we try to come up with alternatives. There'll be no blasting or obliterating with our feeble nukes.
NASA's current plan is to nudge an asteroroid with 6 nukes a few years, or more, before it comes too close.
Re: Feeble nukes
If we wait until they're meteors, it'll be too late no matter how powerful a weapon we use. Much better to attack it while it's an asteroid.
This probably wouldn't work if the asteriod is spinning.
Best plan is to land a few powerful rockets on the surface, and if spinning, time a short pulse with each spin thus pushing the thing off course - preferably towards planet Alpha Centauri Bb (http://news.discovery.com/space/could-we-mount-an-interstellar-mission-to-alpha-centauri-bb-121018.html) - just in case they plan on invading.
Hey if we can land an SUV on Mars, a few rockets on a small rock isn't much of a challenge, right?
I would nudge the thing into an orbit much too close to the surface of the sun. Deal with it for good
It takes a huge amount of shove to nudge it close to the sun - look at the weird path they had to use for the Mercury orbiter. You have to get rid of all that orbital velocity somehow.
Re: Hey if we can land an SUV on Mars
Problem is we would have to land something on it first to find out what it is made of, if its too soft the rockets would just push into it.
If its iron then is it magnetic and therefore could affect the gyro's etc and leave it being pushed towards us.....
I am pretty sure we already have landed on an asteroid!
so it is just scale if we want to land something bigger and more powerful, something like an Orion booster is needed
5 Tons of black and white paint, eigh?
That, sir, is one HELL of a Banksie
Re: 5 Tons of black and white paint, eigh?
Using more advanced paint techniques, slow it, and alter its trajectory so it enters the atmosphere, skips across the Atlantic and river Thames, and rolls harmlessly to a stop in the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern, where it can form the centerpiece of a new exhibition of exciting contemporary work. If they can have millions of hand painted sunflower seeds or giant slides, this has gotta be a realistic aim.
If you do blow it into smaller pieces with nukes then it burns up in the atmosphere increasing global warming by heating the atmosphere near it.
However if we nudge it just right to hit the centre of say Australia then we get the benefit of chucking loads of dust etc into the atmosphere and thereby reducing warming
There you have it folks, global warming can be fixed by firing comets and asteroids at Australia and cooling the planet.....
Hows about we drop the asteroid somewhere where it can wipe out the source of a lot of hot air say the European Parliment or Washington DC. It can then solve the problem with the climate change lobbyists at the same time...
Is this a joke?
I do not know much about the solar sail effect, but if the momentum of the paint is considered significant enough to mention in the same breath then forget it. This would need to be done a VERY very long time ahead of the predicted Earth impact, and the astronomers are not that good at predicting.
A far greater deflection would be achieved by blowing a piece off it with a nuke - it does not need to be a big piece, a few hundred tons perhaps, but in the right direction. You do not need to fragment the whole thing.
Re: Is this a joke?
"I do not know much about the solar sail effect, but"
So what you're saying is, you don't know what you're talking about but you're willing to rubbish work by someone who does on the basis, of, uh, you're from the internet and therefore are an expert in pretty much anything?
And from this lofty position of credibility, you suggest what you feel to be a better plan despite having demonstrated that you know practically nothing about astrophysics and orbital mechanics. Well done.
Inevitable Internet Omniscience Syndrome strikes again.

Type: Private
# of Holes: 18
Course Web site: http://www.hyannisportclub.com
Golf Course Architect:
Donald RossClick below to see other courses designed by :
Donald Ross (265)
Hyannisport Club is a Private 18 hole golf course located in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.
Hyannisport Club golf course opened in 1897. The course was designed by Donald J. Ross.
Hyannisport Club is set on the southern coast of Cape Cod. Spectacular views of Nantucket Sound and historic Hyannis Port can be viewed from many of the golf holes. The salt water marshes surrounding much of the front nine provide a summer home for many migratory birds.
This course is designed like a seaside-links course in Ireland. The greens are extremely fast, small, and firm. The fairways are wide open, and there are very few trees coming into play. The signature hole is #4, a 410-yard, par 4, featuring a sharp ninety-degree dogleg left fairway with a marshland on the left side that flows all the way to its small green.
Par for the course is 71. From the back tees the course plays to 6,250 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 5,611 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 6, a par-5 that plays to 514 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 17, a par-3 that plays to 143 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for # 4, the signature 410 yard par-4 challenge is the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Hyannisport Club is # 17, the143 yard par-3.

Downton Abbey is the British period drama set in the early 1900's in England that has taken America by storm. It seems an unlikely hit here in the States but discerning viewers have gravitated to it's rich characters, compelling stories and of course it's gorgeous setting.
Influenced by the refreshing pastels and creams of the Drawing Room, a pale green/aqua is further softened with the use of pale rose, classic ivory and gold gilding.
Kelly-Moore Paints reached out to share a palette of paints that their designer, Mary Lawlor, has identified as matching the lush interiors seen on Downton Abbey. These interior colors contain rich deep reds, wood toned browns, refreshing pastels and creams grounded by utilitarian grays, each inspired by the amazing settings portrayed on the show.
They matched these color groupings room by room and we've compiled the color swatches in a gallery above.
Which colors are your favorite?

I would like to comment on the article in the March 11 edition of the Manhasset Press, "How Can We Fix This Picture?" about the beautiful, bright and cheerful stop sign on Park Avenue at Nassau Avenue. I wouldn't be patting anyone on the back.
The Town of North Hempstead does not have it right at all. Those huge, neon pedestrian signs should be spaced closely down the entire length of Plandome Road, perhaps with a few speed bumps for good measure. If the town was so wonderful in protecting its pedestrians, then maybe my daughter wouldn't have gotten hit by a Suburban while crossing Plandome Road going from Raindew to Gino's. She was seriously injured, but fortunately she is alive and well. Is Manhasset waiting for someone to get killed?

An estimated 250,000 jobless Floridians will be eligible for extended unemployment benefits beginning in early July.
The benefits were part of Legislation signed this week by Gov. Charlie Crist. Payments will take another month or so to be distributed because of computer programming issues at Florida's Agency for Workforce Innovation, which handles unemployment for the state.
