Later this month NBC will premiere their new comedy series Community. In anticipation of the premiere, we have a few video clips from the episode, along with a series description and some photos to share with you.
Will Community manage to live up to the standards set by The Office and 30 Rock? We’ll find out. At the very least, the show is in good company in its timeslot on Thursday nights.
“From Dan Harmon (The Sarah Silverman Program) and Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo (Arrested Development) comes Community, a smart comedy series about a band of misfits who attend Greendale Community College. At the center of the group is Jeff Winger (Joel McHale, The Soup), a fast-talkin’ lawyer whose degree has been revoked. With some help from his fellow classmates, Winger forms a study group who eventually learn more about themselves than their course work.Also among the series stars who comprise the group are comedy legend Chevy Chase (Chuck) as Pierce, a man whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom; Gillian Jacobs (The Book of Daniel) as Britta, the 28-year old drop out with something to prove; Yvette Nicole Brown (Rules of Engagement) as Shirley, a sassy middle-aged divorcée; Danny Pudi (Greek) as Abed, a pop culture junkie; Alison Brie (Mad Men) as Annie, a high-strung perfectionist; Donald Glover (30 Rock) as Troy, a former high school football star trying to find his way and Ken Jeong (The Hangover) as Spanish professor, Señor Chang.”Community is a new NBC comedy series about a band of misfits who attend Greendale Community College.

Below are a few video clips from the pilot episode. I especially love the one with the “Seacrest” remark in it. Fans of The Soup will appreciate that joke.
Community premieres Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 9:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
