A lot of wasted talent.
Ironic that the majority portion of the fans of Community were born in the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, and this show is basically mocking the age group of his arguably largest fanbase.
Edit: Post-premiere, I stand by this thread, originally posted three months prior to the episode. Lots of talent, but none showing from the writers.
Likewise, it seems like a show that Jeff Winger would make fun of on Community. What. happened??
The cast is pretty stacked, shockingly. I'm just hoping that they all looked at it as a quick payout for a (hopefully) short-lived show. Maybe it'll be decent and the "damn millennials" jokes won't last. But I doubt it.
shareYou people are just butthurt because it makes fun of you.
I was born in 84 and I think this is going to be great fun.
I'm going to assume you're pretty simple, considering that seconds of research could inform you that, you, being born in '84, are in fact a millennial. Here you go.

And I don't think anyone's "butthurt" because we' are (including you) "the ones being made fun". Moreso sick of lazy comedy that has been to death, especially from someone like Joel McHale, who literally made a career picking apart how lazy, unoriginal, and generally stupid shows like this are in not one, but two shows.
So, basically, go *beep* yourself, you misinformed, assuming plebeian.
If you had actually bothered to read the article you linked you would know that 1984 is part of two generational groups. It also happens to be the last year of generation X.
But all of that is BS. Generational boundaries of that type are defined by views, values, behavioral patterns and shared experiences, not birthyears.
I never got a participation trophy. I played cowboys and Indians outside, not on my playstation. I do not have a twitter account and could not give less of a crap about it. I do not post pictures of my food on instagram. For that matter, I never post on instagram at all. And last but not least, my parents told me to beat the crap out of bullies, not to embrace them in order to help them overcome their fear and anger.
No, the point of that specific article was to point out that nobody can define a millennial, because people have started to use it as an insult. Hence, the sarcastic "millennials are the worst, but I don't know why!" Littered through the article. Notice after Generation X, people continue to change their mind of when exactly millennial birth gap begins (commonly stated beginning as in 2000 until about 2010, and also stated as 1978-2000).
Congratulations. You're about 9/10 years older than me, and I'm going to point out; I never received a participant trophy in any of the sports I partook in. Thats, again, the low-hanging fruit/lazy joke that became normal around the year 2009. For children. Twitter is something literally every generation has been active in. I hadn't heard of it until I was 17, I'm 21 now, and still do not have an account. I had an Instagram, to further my portfolio as a wildlife photographer, noticed after a month that it was boring me to tears, and deleted it. Never had a MySpace or a Facebook, as I never was interested. But again, people of all ages use it and have since it began. Social media is used by any and every living age group, as an open forum, much like the site your posting on now. I also didn't have internet in my home until I was 16.
And lastly, do you think that parents don't tell their children to stand up to their parents? That's asinine. Schools have taken an anti-bullying status, not the Gen X parents. Your parents telling you to stand up to your bullies isn't at all an outdated social norm, and is not some antiquated parenting technique.
Someone born in 1984 isn't part of some rouge age that defies the boundaries of any generation. You are, by most accounts (again, most because nobody can agree when the *beep* they want the documentated start lot millennials to be) a millennial. You were a minor when Cobain died, the Internet blew up, when the columbine massacre took place, when Bush Jr was elected and maybe 18 when the 9/11 attacks took place. The same events that effected you more than Gen X, effected me.

That is interesting.
I used to be an airborne soldier in the German army. When you described "dodgeball" as "PE activity of natural selection" my immediate thought was "I can only imagine how sheltered and protected that kid must have been."
And btw, dodgeball IS fun...as long as you are not the guy getting hit in the nuts with the ball.

BTW, what's happening in Germany right now? You suddenly seem like a bunch of pussies to the outside world right now. Germany seems to be committing cultural suicide.Don't ask me. I am all for taking in refugees but there should be some clear concept on an integration policy. Language courses, cultural integration classes and tight controls. Seems that the government is so desperate to see inclusive that they forgot a little detail called "common sense".
Is it just me or does this seem to be a reboot of "Last Man Standing"
with a few tweaks?
Not saying it won't be good. I'm not fan/follower of any one on the show,
seems better than some other drivel out there. ("The Odd Couple" anyone? words can't describe that mess!)
I am of the group against participation trophies, dodge ball is good fun, but if you are getting knocked out, that's on the teacher in my opinion. (what the hell kinda balls are they using??!?!) If size and ability are not equal, we always did strong-hand/weak-hand, bigger guys on their knees, or some type of handicap. Probably had a obese gym teacher who was outside smoking. Gotta have some sense of order.
Sounds like a fantastic childhood like my daughter! She is so tired and angry over her generation. She has to keep proving herself in her job meanwhile getting praised beyond ridiculousness. Her employer, btw, has stated millenials need to be coddled in order to get them to do their job. I'm not kidding -_-
shareUh oh! We got ourselves a Triggered Millennial here! What an absolute shocker!
I DON'T BELIEVE IN CASUAL SEX. I ALWAYS WEAR A TIE.
Oh, yes, I'm totally 'triggered' -- by the lazy writing that CBS is continuing to churn out with each new show, and apparently I'm not the only one. 53% on Metacritic and 50% on Rotten Tomatoes? Seems like critics may have been triggered as well.
But, in all seriousness, I think it's hilarious that you're making jokes about one being triggered... Considering you felt so compelled to create a topic about "triggered millennials". Come out with some new material, or you very well may be hired to CBS writing room.
Edit: Not trying to be a dick, but the irony is obvious.
