Perhaps you misunderstood me. Community made the short list of shows I'm willing to watch. I've yet to miss an episode. When I fall behind, I minimarathon to catch up.

But that said, compared to the first season, the second season is worse. Compared to the second season, the third season is worse.

I didn't say it isn't one of the best shows on TV, I didn't say it wasn't clever. I just said it was overrated. And it is. Because a lot of fans view it as the greatest thing ever, flawless, can do no wrong. But the fact is, the writing is getting less clever, not more clever. Nothing will ever beat the original paintball episode.

It's just a feel thing, it's obviously hard to prove quality objectively. I just have the gut feeling that the show is tailing off and will continue to do so. I still recommend it to pretty much every nerd I know. It's still great. It's just not perfect, and perhaps more importantly it's not improving.
