Scott and I got the first DVD of Community from Netflix. We watched about fifteen minutes and decided that we hated Jeff, who appears to be the main character. We didn't really have time to form opinions about the other characters. Jeff seemed quite enough.

Has anybody watched the show? Is there a reason to stick with it when we loathe Jeff? Are future episodes less about him and more about other characters? We might be able to stand him as a supporting character if the story smacks him often enough for being a jerk.

I had a similar reaction the first time I tried to watch the first episode, but I'm really glad I tried again. The show is much more of an ensemble comedy, and though Jeff is the lens though which we see a lot of it, I wouldn't say that he's the focus of a lot of the episodes. The story does spend a lot of time smacking him around for being a jerk and the character actually grows a lot from it. The really fun from the series comes from how they poke fun of a lot of TV tropes.

We'll try the rest of the DVD, at least.

Thanks for letting me know that you like the series. That helps us make up our minds.
