Why aren't more of you watching Community (8/7c on ABC)? Today it made TVGuide.com's list of 10 bubble shows that could be canceled if ratings don't turn around soon. After I screamed, threw my remote across the room and screamed out "No, Abed, say it isn't so!", I told myself there was simply no other must-watch option for tonight. And now I'm telling you, ya hear?
To answer my own question posed in the first paragraph, maybe people are too busy watching Big Bang Theory, The Vampire Diaries and now the X Factor Results Show. And I get that. But Community deserves some eyeball lovin' too. For you Big Bang Theory fans, it features a community college version of Sheldon, who is even more robot-like if you can believe that. For those devoted to The Vampire Diaries, Community also features a love triangle (Annie-Jeff-Britta) that just might even turn to a square (enter Troy). And viewers of The X Factor, you're sure to hear some musical numbers from this gang almost every week.
(Did I mention last week's episode single-handedly made me think back on every moment of my life. A simple roll of a dye could take you down 6 different life paths, man!)
So please TV fans, I beg of you, watch Community. I stand by this bubble show, and I am in no way ready for that bubble to be popped. Mama could lose an eye! Not to mention a little piece of my heart. The part that laughs at ridiculously amazing comedy.

Her week in review (w/o 9/25)
Let me just start by saying I think I'd be happy if all channels aired nothing but The Vampire Diaries and New Girl at all times. I love these shows! They are, to steal Penny's word from Happy Endings, a-mah-zing. But there are many other shows to watch, and you know I'm watching 'em. So here's my rundown for the week.
Best shower scene: Don't get any ideas. On Modern Family, Gloria was yelling at Jay about coddling their dog, Stella, as he was lathering up in the shower. Cut to near Jay's ankles, where the adorable pooch was sitting on the shower floor. "What?" Jay said. "She tries to drink the water. It's funny!" Agreed. And so is this show.
Cutest fight scene: On The Big Bang Theory, the usually unemotional Sheldon was not too happy when Leonard was speaking fondly about Sheldon's equally socially awkward friend, Amy Farrah Fowler (you know, Blossom). Cue Sheldon, wearing a flannel bathrobe and train conductor hat, karate chopping Leonard in the shoulder. "She is not for you...Not. For. You." Aww Sheldon. We love you even more than we already did. Bazinga!
Best verbal rally: This could also be called the most ridiculous conversation ever. On How I Met Your Mother, check out the back and forth that happens when Lily tells Barney what he can do if he wins the bet they've made. Lily: I will let you touch one boob. Barney: Both boobs. Lily: Just one. Barney: Touch and squeeze. Lily: Just touch. Barney: Touch and motorboat. Lily: Just touch. Barney: Honka honka? Lily: Barney. Barney: Just touch. Lily: Just touch. Barney: For one hour. Lily: For one second. Barney: For 20 minutes, both boobs. Lily: 20 seconds, one boob. Barney: Four minutes, both boobs, three squeezes. Lily: One minute, one boob, one squeeze. Barney: Deal. And he almost won the bet, but Lily distracted him with something. I'll give you two guesses.
Best celebrity dancing moment: No, not Nancy Grace pulling a Janet Jackson. On Jersey Shore, Snooki heads to the bar of a restaurant to drink away her sorrows the day after her visiting boyfriend Gionni left her in Florence. Then she starts to bust a move. Alone. In the middle of a restaurant. In the middle of the day. "I'm heartbroken. So let me dance!" she yells at the restaurant patrons. We've all been there, right? After a tough break up, sometimes you just gotta dance it out. Snooki also tried to forget her pain another way: hooking up with Vinny that night. Oh Vinny, you used to be my favorite.
The "Dude, that's harsh" award: This goes to Captain Kragen on Law & Order: SVU. Fresh off Detective Elliot Stabler leaving, Kragen tells Detective Stabler: "Elliot's not coming back, Liv...Let him go. And you can start by cleaning up his desk. We can't keep it as a shrine." Dude - I mean Captain, Sir. That was harsh.
Quote of the week: Any idea what character blurted out this doozy? "When a pony does a good deed, he gets a horn and he becomes a unicorn, and then he poops out cotton candy until he forgets he's magical, and then his horn falls off. And black unicorns, they become zebras." That would be Britney from Glee, who else? Heather Morris delivers Britney's ridiculous lines so perfectly in this show, I may have to devote an entire category to "Britney's quote of the week." We'll see.
Alright folks, that's it for now. What was your favorite TV moment of the week?
