Christma-Tele-Kwanz-Ukah-Vision Day 13: Community 3x10

Happy Christma-tele-kwanz-ukah-vision everybody!  This is my celebration of the holiday season through television- one holiday-themed episode a day all the way until Christmas (and for the most part the episodes will be Christmas based.  I've yet to see a kwanza television episode, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open).  Enjoy the spirit of the holidays through the medium of television- make yourself a cup of hot coco, snuggle up in a blanket and immerse yourself in the season.

Britta, the mute tree!

Community “Regional Holiday Music” 3x10

Although this episode doesn’t focus entirely on the celebration of the holidays, it’s Christmas spirit manages to shine through in song.  Because it’s a gleeful time of year- yes, that’s right, this is Community’s Glee spoof episode.  And a joyful one it is at that.  You want to know why?  Because, as Troy says, glee literally means…glee!  The episode features a number of fantastic, albeit much too short, musical numbers.  Some favorites include the Christmas infiltration rap, “Glee,” “Happy Birthday Jesus” (sing it Shirley!), and Britta’s awkward song.  This episode takes a silly look at the seriousness of glee club, as well as the joy that can come from holiday music, and the pain it can cause.  Literally.  Be careful about the next bus you take- Mr. Rad seems a little off his rocker.  And although this episode is fantastic in the musical numbers and soul sucking ability of glee club, it poses a question that many of us would love to have answered: what are regionals anyway?...
