‘Community’ gets its ‘Glee’ on

Published December 3, 2011 5:00am ET



“Community” — which has poked fun at zombie films, action movies and even Christmas specials during its three years — will turn its mocking eye at “Glee.” In the comedy about a community college study group (8 p.m. EST Thursdays, NBC), the gang is asked to take over the glee club. At first reluctant, the group soon discovers it can get into the groove of it all.

Of course, this being “Community,” the results won’t be quite so smooth or warm and fuzzy. That’s not how “Community” rolls. The show takes painstaking efforts to center on details, which includes singing rehearsals and mapping out choreography when needed.
