You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Although I love the idea of Jean Valjean singing about Community.
I now want to see the cast of Community singing a send-up of that song.

Because books.
And it was the cast of HIMYM that actually did it on a talk show once, right?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, y'all, avclub review seems to indicate we need to be hopeful, but prepared that the show may not be as good as we may want it to be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's where I was at the beginning of last season (I felt it was a slow start--possibly the slowest sequence of episodes for me), so I'm okay with bracing myself for something similar now. 75% as funny is still enough to keep me watching--I don't have a purity of vision interest like some folks I'm rolling my eyes at today.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, I have already been keeping my expectations low. I watched every episode of "30 Rock" so I can live through highs and lows.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Heh.
I got maybe halfway through that review, maybe I'll read it later. I'm just all "Go Human Beings!" and I think I'll stick with that for today.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Not that it's a universally lauded review site, but the Daily Beast is also cautiously hopeful. So that's two voices toward a consensus.
