Winona Ryder knits! (S1E22)
April 21, 2022 20:17 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBNever before and perhaps never again will the CR101 crew be so worn down by the sheer battle of linguistic wits found in Season 1's "The Art of Discourse." Is this one of the worst episodes that Community's ever made -- or is its schmitty worse than its bite?

Chicken run (S1E21)
April 05, 2022 22:53 - 57 minutes - 58.7 MBIt may be toward the end of Season 1, but "Contemporary American Poultry" feels like the starting pistol to the REAL Community that we all know and love. From its unabashed homages to gangster movies to iconic moments like "Streets Ahead" and Troy's very special monkey, this chicken run is going to be unlike any other with the CR101 crew!

April Fools Grinches (S1E20)
March 25, 2022 00:52 - 57 minutes - 58.4 MBWhen a spat of heightened shinanigans hits Greendale's campus, an unlikely buddy cop team-up forms, a frog is murdered in the prime of its life, and a cereal mascot is unfairly referenced. Join the Community Rewatching 101 crew for a look back at S1E20's "Science of Illusion" (even if we STILL don't know what that title means in this context)!
Ghostbursts (S1E19)
March 09, 2022 17:55 - 59 minutes - 62 MBAs Thomas continues his extended walkabout, the rest of the Community Rewatching 101 crew dines on the delectable season one episode "Beginner Pottery." Which is better -- to take pottery with crazy Jeff or to take sailing with Captain Shirley? Can one episode overdose on excellent guest stars? And is it too soon to make Patrick Swayze jokes?

Switch Hitter (S1E18)
February 24, 2022 13:32 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBWhen everyone's family decides to crash the tranquil routine of Greendale, chaos, kisses, and spanking ensues. The Community Rewatching 101 crew discuss S1E18's "Basic Geneaology" -- an episode with some great laughs but pacing and storytelling problems.

Vampires playing pool (S1E17)
February 09, 2022 13:19 - 1 hour - 69.1 MBBetween guys playing pool in their undies, Abed giving us a version of himself as a vampire, Pierce taking over as leader, discussions of leather pants, a cameo from Bert and Ernie, strategies for wooing, and all the baggles we can eat, the Community Rewatching 101 crew has their hands full with the amazingly excellent Season One episode, "Physical Education."

Where's the beef? (S1E16)
January 26, 2022 23:51 - 1 hour - 67.5 MBCommunity's first season can't seem to let the Slater-Jeff-Britta love triangle go, but for our money, Communication Studies is most interesting when we're deep into montages, fake Starburns, and ladies pantsuits! Join the CR101 crew this week as they dissect this funny but flimsy outing.

Community Rewatching 101: Monkeyshines at the Picture Show (S1E15)
January 12, 2022 13:29 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBThe Community Rewatching 101 crew navigate another semi-normal day in the life of Greendale, with a bizarre love triangle, bad movie riffing, and all sorts of waggling eyebrows. Are we elated at the return of Vaughn? What do we think of Troy's wooing technique? And is awkward Britta always the best Britta?
Community Rewatching 101: Breakaway clothing
December 29, 2021 15:14 - 1 hour - 63.5 MBThe full foursome is back to tackle Season 1 Episode 14, "Interpretive Dance." Thomas becomes Timmy, Al dances the Cabbage Patch, Heather analyzes relationships, and Justin spends a small fortune on breakaway clothing. Oddly enough, this becomes one of the most criticized episodes of the first season to date!
Webisodes feat. Dan Harmon
December 15, 2021 19:31 - 44 minutes - 45.5 MBIt's time for a mid-season 1 break for the Community Rewatching 101 gang! Al and Justin kick back with a series of five very early webisodes about the weirdness of Greendale Community College and starring none other than series creator Dan Harmon. It's actually way funnier than you'd think!
Chang can never die (S1E13)
December 01, 2021 20:48 - 58 minutes - 63.1 MBHe’s Senor Chang, and he cannot be killed. This is the life lesson imparted to the crew of Community Rewatching 101, who would all love to be as immortal and well-loved as this great Spanish teacher. As they investigate, er, Season 1’s “Investigative Journalism,” the topic of abrupt change in a sitcom environment comes to the forefront. And no, nobody likes Buddy.
We're going to Applebees! (S1E12)
November 18, 2021 23:49 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBThe first Christmas at Greendale is an odd one for both the study group and our Community Rewatching 101 crew. Fights, guilt trips, Winter Doodles, and Forrest Whittaker glares abound -- not to mention an unusual approach to discussing various religions on TV -- as we talk about Episode 12, “Comparative Religion.”
Community Rewatching 101: Reverse Porky’s (S1E11)
November 02, 2021 20:17 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBCould it get any more uncomfortable in the room? That’s what the Community Rewatching 101 team will discover as they sit down to have “The Talk” about Season 1’s “The Politics of Human Sexuality.” Fortunately, they have a never-ending supply of U.S. Presidents and Australian Prime Ministers as substitute references for human anatomy.
Community Rewatching 101: Here's brownies! (S1E10)
October 19, 2021 20:26 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBThe Community Rewatching 101 crew is at full strength as they charge into a manic episode full of dalmations, rats, brownies, Irish folk singers, tigers, handsome hobos, Jack Nicholson, and deep conspiracy theories about what happened to Señor Chang’s wife.
Community Rewatching 101: Robot debater (S1E9)
October 06, 2021 00:12 - 1 hour - 65 MBWith Heather AFK -- to save the world or somesuch -- the boys of Community Rewatching 101 debate the debate episode. Well, Thomas pours through the original script, Al quotes every scene verbatim, and Justin ships Annie and Jeff a little too hard. It’s that kind of show.

Community Rewatching 101: Special drink (S1E8)
September 21, 2021 19:18 - 1 hour - 63.8 MBIt may not be the funniest episode of Community ever, but “Home Economics” manages to capture the essential college experience: bad toilets, Polish Pavel, Cop Rock, and terrible jam bands.

Community Rewatching 101: Incognito Mode (S1E7)
September 07, 2021 19:08 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBWhat’s better than one Halloween party at Greendale? Two parties, a Beastmaster tripping, Urkel going rogue, and Batman swooping in to save the day! The CR101 crew declares “Intro to Statistics” the first true classic episode of Community -- and for good reason.

August 25, 2021 12:08 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBWhat truth lurks behind the doors of the women’s restroom? Who is about to emerge from a bush to ruin Jeff’s day? Why did Greendale invent the most terrifying mascot ever? And where is Al? Find out all these and more as the CR101 crew covers “Football, feminism, and you.”
Community Rewatching 101: Throbbing cosmic wombs (S1E5)
August 11, 2021 12:11 - 54 minutes - 55.3 MBGreendale needs a theme song, Britta's the key subject of the Trial of the Century, Abed may be an alien, and the CR101 crew has no idea how to make sense of any of this weirdness! They'll petition the spirit of Luis Guzmán to lend his aid as they push further into season one. Luis, save us!
Community Rewatching 101: Panda pants (S1E4)
July 27, 2021 19:22 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBThomas is freezing, Heather is full of stroganoff, and Shirley is on the rise in this episode of Community Rewatching 101! The crew delights in the genuinely fun "Social Psychology," where Abed breaks the Duncan Principle, Jeff bonds with Shirley, and Vaughn takes his shirt off.

Community Rewatching 101: Carpe diem! (S1E3)
July 13, 2021 23:52 - 56 minutes - 56.3 MBWhat does it take to seize the day? After watching "Introduction to Film," the Community Rewatching 101 crew... still has no idea. Apparently it involves falling off of desks, mandatory "I love yous," and paying teenage girls to double dutch. It's another great discussion as Season 1 rattles over some rough patches!

Community Rewatching 101: El Tigre Chino (S1E2)
June 29, 2021 20:37 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBThe Community Rewatching 101 crew is back... but where is Heather? As the boys ponder this confounding mystery, they dive into Season 1's "Spanish 101" to talk about the inscrutable presence of Chang, why all protests should feature piñatas, delightfully confusing montages, and whether or not Jeff is Pierce's best friend in the study group.

Community Rewatching 101: The pilot!
May 27, 2021 20:23 - 45 minutes - 44.8 MBCongratulations -- you've been accepted to Greendale Community College!
