Not Totally In The Tank?

Mary left a comment on my blog post about the show Community. Knowing that the shows 30 Rock and Community are considered to be in similar vein definitely confirms my prejudice against Community.

I've seen 30 Rock a few times. It's won the Emmy for Best Comedy for several years in a row. I think it's the most overrated show on TV. Of course, I have a conservative bias and 30 Rock has a strong liberal, Christians-and/or-conservatives-are-idiots bias.

I was pleasantly surprised to read this recap of the latest episode of 30 Rock. It's nice to see that Obama is (at least for one episode) an acceptable target of a top mainstream show.

Not Watching Community

A show I'm not interested in watching is a new one called Community. The ads for it don't interest me in the least.

First of all, it's set in a community college. My gut tells me, ridiculing the students is the thrust of the show.

Secondly, Chevy Chase, Mr. I-Want-Tina-Fey-To-Decimate-Sarah-Palin, is one of the stars of the show.

You know, maybe it's a great, well-written, funny show. I don't care. Maybe I'm paranoid, but after all of the mockery Sarah Palin endured for having a non-elite education, I can't help thinking that the show is an attempt to jab her.

Did I mention that I attended a community college for 2 years?
