Community. Grade: A+. Not just the best episode of comedy this season so far, but maybe the best episode of “Community” since the original “Modern Warfare.” An outstanding genre-warping Rashomon style storyline with Chekhov’s gun and a timeline to satisfy everyone. Plus, Eartha Kitt got banged six times.

Parks and Recreation Grade: A-. Either that was an outstanding episode of “Parks and Rec,” or “Community” put me in such a good mood that it felt like it. Ann was great (the “I Love Lucy” bit was fantastic), and Ron Swanson got to be Ron Swanson. All it was missing was a sweet Andy/April subplot, which was made up for by the Treat Yo Self B-plot.
The Office Grade: B. Now we know what Andy’s Rosebud is. Poor guy, but it’s nice to get some back story on him to help explain the way he is. It was kind of a sad episode, and unusual for a comedy in that Andy didn’t get his redemption moment. However, it was Dwight’s elaborate Garden Party that stole the episode. The downside: Josh Groban is so good, I wish he’d been used to more effect. I hope he returns for another episode.
