And the word 'budget' apparently meant nothing to these people on the show. <br /><br />I feel bad for kids who are currently in chorus in school who feel horrible because they don't measure up to the TV show. I want to let those kids know; you're doing something real, they are not. Keep going. --JBGreat PurpleRobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554406594623449587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-75226143120370509842013-02-02T19:59:39.669-05:002013-02-02T19:59:39.669-05:00Although I liked Glee, I have stopped watching it ...Although I liked <i>Glee</i>, I have stopped watching it and this episode reminded me of why. I loved this one, probably one of my favorites. I loved the rap and the genre song that sucked in Pierce.<br /><br />I must admit that, like Gus, Annie's song went a little far for me and that I wish they had let Britta shine instead of making her the butt of the joke again.<br /><br />But, the final scene when the rest of the group were singing to Abed actually brought a tear to my eye. Always the sign of a Christmas show I will watch every year from now on.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-92047261929377576892012-12-22T02:22:10.198-05:002012-12-22T02:22:10.198-05:00Annie's 'Silly Christmas Baby' song ha...Annie's 'Silly Christmas Baby' song has been stuck in my head all day.

Glad to hear you all loved this episode as much as I did. Just a shame that the Screen Actors Guild and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn't. Bah, to hell with them, especially the stupid HFPA (seriously, <i>Boss</i>?)<br /><br />While I'm here, let me take this opportunity to recommend that everyone start watching <i>Parks and Recreation</i> while <i>Community</i> is on extended hiatus. I only just started watching this a few days ago but Ron Swanson has already become my new comedy god.Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-3270971595129133652011-12-15T15:02:51.315-05:002011-12-15T15:02:51.315-05:00I like Glee, but obviously I'd never choose it...I like Glee, but obviously I'd never choose it over Community. I knew Community had to do a musical episode at some point - when Xena, Buffy and Scrubs have all done it a show as surreal as Community could hardly resist - but the Christmas/Glee theme was a brilliant idea!Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-55055941574764186652011-12-15T09:00:13.258-05:002011-12-15T09:00:13.258-05:00Mark, I also hate Glee with an intense passion.

Something about the random pool of lava makes it for me!)<br /><br />I'm relatively new to Community, having just started watching it this past summer. And it has been making me laugh harder than anything else this entire season. I hope it will be renewed! (I hate that NBC has pulled it until Spring.)<br /><br />KatKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609424771874961444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73312933579573307382011-12-15T06:58:43.295-05:002011-12-15T06:58:43.295-05:00Thanks KAM!

I got the boobie part and imagined the joke was something like that, but I don't think I ever heard the word 'bubbe' before, so I reacted pretty much like Troy while watching.<br /><br />And that's great news, Billie. Six seasons and a movie!<br /><br />As for Glee, I thought the Body Snatchers/Ecstasy comparison was spot on. I watched the first season until the midseason finale (Sectionals?), and I was liking it (although I was never a huge fan). Then, after the break, I don't know if something changed or the drug effects just wore off but after a few episodes I couldn't stand it anymore. Interestingly, other friends of mine that used to watch it also had the same reactions, but in different points of the show. All of that made this episode even more funny to me. (also, this might help me convince one of these friends I mentioned to finally start watching this show)Cesarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-25657175083745175812011-12-14T21:12:40.979-05:002011-12-14T21:12:40.979-05:00Dear Billie doux

I laughed out loud more than once.<br /><br />I don't hate Glee, but dislike it a lot. I've been avoiding it since I stopped watching it in the middle of the Madonna episode. Never looked back. Community has mocked every single aspect of the show I find annoying.<br /><br />That scene with Annie was surely sexy, but it kept getting creepier, she strayed too much into childish territory, and I was uncomfortable for finding that sexy.<br /><br />Am I weird because I'd be friends with Britta?Gus Brunettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554920460249324531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-47719267641011547572011-12-14T16:09:14.289-05:002011-12-14T16:09:14.289-05:00Cesar -- Annie said "bubbe," which I bel...Cesar -- Annie said "bubbe," which I believe is Yiddish for "grandmother." Troy thought she said "boobie," which is American slang for "breast." So Annie was going to the movies with one grandmother, and her other grandmother was dead, but Troy thought she was going to the movies with only one of her boobies.<br /><br />I have to say, I thought explaining it would ruin the joke, but it seems even funnier to me now. That probably doesn't speak well for my maturity, does it?<br /><br />KAMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-20462627246588736732011-12-14T12:18:32.777-05:002011-12-14T12:18:32.777-05:00It is still by no means a sure thing, but TV by th...It is still by no means a sure thing, but TV by the Numbers has upgraded <i>Community</i> to "likely to be renewed" from its previous less positive status.<br /><br />http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/12/13/nbc-community-upgraded-to-likely-to-be-renewed/113574/Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-8543624359439052022011-12-14T07:10:45.269-05:002011-12-14T07:10:45.269-05:00Another excellent episode.

Watching it was, well, more powerful than Bliss itself. This show is by far one of the top 10 that NBC produced in the last 10, 15 years.<br /><br />My other feeling is that last years Xmas' show inspired the guys at Eureka to do the same.....Celtic Marcnoreply@blogger.com
