Community Season 2 Premiere: Too Smart for It's Own Good?

Community had it's second season premiere tonight, and has already proven that it will not fall into a sophomore slump in terms of quality. Showing that self-referential comedy can be done correctly (may want to pay attention Glee, you just came off as smug), it fell right back to it's trademarked ability to satire pop-culture while making it relevant and fresh.

It says something about both the writers and cast where Betty White and Chevy Chase had some of the least funny moments of the premiere. Danny Pudi's Abed is one of the greatest characters on television today.

Second season started out great, and easily gets an A, but I fear that it's a bit too quick and referential for its own good. It was definitely strong enough to make the cut following NBC's The Jay Leno Show disaster last season, but it may not be able to keep its audience for a third season pick up.
