Community: Basic RV Repair and Palmistry (2015) Season 6, Episode 10

Absolutely uninspiring and unentertaining

[4/10 · 1 February 2021]

Early Season 1 Community episodes were not the Community I would come to love. It was finding it's footing etc. There were good episodes...and still trying to actually find it's identity.... so I tend to not judge the early 1st seasons too harshly. That's the way tv gets made. Put it out there... and let the show and actors to some degree take the show and characters were they can or should go. These episodes feel like early season 1 episodes... where a show is not really where it needs to be yet...but give it time to come around. Not all do...but some need that time. If these episodes had come out in season 1, they would have been much more acceptable. I'd tell people...which I do now...Start with a few episodes in...or jump straight to the law and order episode...or remedial chaos theory...those are the show at its peak Communityness. For these episodes to come in Community's senior season...and them to be this...unwatchable...is really disappointing.

I had never heard the term bottle episode before community...and this feels like a bottle episode...though it's not. in the rv, out the rv..big hand prop (though that can't have cost that much???). And this is usually Community's sweet spot. Britta...terrible this episode. Paget...terrible this episode. Really do not like how they did not allow enough time for her to naturally become part of the group but rather just shoved her down our throats immediately. Same thing with Keith David.

Wait...So Matt Besser and Mitchell Hurwitz aren't the same guy?! KOOGLER!!! Wait...NOT KOOGLER?!
