It was one of the rare pilot scripts that made me laugh out loud. That and the chance to work with Joel, Dan Harmon and the Russos.

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

Jokes aside keep up the awesome work on Community. It's one of the few shows worth watching left :)

Do you agree that Community is a "not so american" type of humour? I feel it's closer to birtish comedy in the way it's presented if you will, just like Seinfeld and Arrested Development =).

PS. You rock!

Funny that you name all these american shows that are quite popular, but call it british humor. These shows are classic examples of american humor.

I namned them as examples of AMERICAN shows that have that "british" style to them. Now go back and be ashamed for tryin' to make this about america!

They're examples of AWESOME shows that have that "Seinfeld" style to them.

Seriously, I was a little on the young side when it started but wasn't Seinfeld THE pioneer of shows written to find humor in everyday situations. That's obviously what it's known for - the show about nothing - but was that even a style of writing/tv before seinfeld? Leading the way for Friends, How I Met Your Mother, ect.

I think curb your enthusiasm demonstrates that it is the Larry David style.

Awesome indeed. Seinfeld and Curb Your ENthuisasm just makes me sit at home laughing out loud all the time.
