Community: Regional Holiday Music (2011)
Season 3, Episode 10
10/10
A Holiday Gem
28 May 2014
Giantpanther missed the point of this episode. It was a parody of Glee, not an homage. It was likening the Glee hysteria to the film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978), where alien invaders replace human beings with duplicates that appear identical on the surface but are devoid of emotion or individuality. Most obvious reference being the "Scream" scene with Britta and Jeff.

This ep. also made a great point about the Glee vs. Kings of Leon controversy in which creator Ryan Murphy was being publicly critical of KOL's and other artist refusals of song usage and basically calling them bullies.

Jeff: Oh please, not liking Glee club doesn't make us bullies and implying that is reverse bully-ism!

I know, I know giant's comment/episode are 2 yrs old but, I felt the need to comment in case future Community watchers were interested. It's by far one of the wittier episodes of season 3 and I don't recommend "skipping this one" because beside the underlying Glee insults, the songs and jokes make this a gem.

Skins (2007–2013)
9/10
Awesome
13 April 2010
I loved the first two seasons of this show but i didn't even want to touch the 3rd and 4th because I felt it would ruin my Skins experience. To my pleasant surprise this generation was great & kept my love for Skins alive.

But I recommend watching the British version of it though. Based on the clip they provide on this site and people that have seen the seasons released here in the US, they change a lot of the music. The music adds this different dimension and just doesn't feel the same without the original soundtrack.

The provided clip definitely does not do it any justice trust me!!! It strips from the shows deeper story lines and it doesn't capture it's humor. It came off very American teenage crude comedy-like when it really isn't. Don't mean to bash on American t.v, you know I love me some Dawson's Creek and Gossip Girl, but this show definitely upped the ante.

LOVE CHRIS!! OTHER FAVS: CASSIE, SID, EFFY, THOMAS AND COOK.
