Community Episode 10: “Environmental Science” — When Señor Chang assigns an absurd amount of homework to his Spanish class the gang nominates Jeff to talk some sense into him. Jeff begrudgingly agrees and the two strike up an unlikely friendship which backfires when the gang realizes Jeff is receiving perks that they aren’t. Meanwhile, Troy and Abed run into their own problems when their biology lab subject goes missing.

G4 talks to Joel McHale and the rest of the cast on the set of NBC’s Community.

Is somebody worried about the ratings for NBC’s “Community”? Already carrying two shows on his back (E!’s “Soup” and the (lower) higher education comedy), plus standup comedy tours and a new baby, the usually party-shy Joel McHale has been working the press lines the last two nights.

Castmates Alison Brie, Yvette Nicole Brown and Danny Pudi joined him for a virtual “international junket” to Africa on Wednesday night.

Puma transplanted a slice of Africa to Wilshire Boulevard with a living, breathing ”African Bazaar” marketplace in anticipation of the 12 national teams participating in 2010’s biggest sporting event – soccer’s World Cup in South Africa. (Sorry, Vancouver Winter Olympics, half of the world doesn’t ski.)

Along with McHale, Ed Norton, Jessica Stroup and James Van Der Beek stamped their passports to an unrecognizable former retail space on the Miracle Mile (created by Jeffrey Best). Guests including John Hensley and Anoop Desai designed their own gear and got to play an American version of sweat-free soccer – Foosball.

Because Norton premiered his behind-the-scenes Obama doc “By the People” during the the same week he finished the NYC marathon (running on Puma‘s team for the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust), he would have been well entitled to relax in the bazaar’s lounges with a distinctly un-African refreshment – free-flowing Patron tequila. Hanging out with Chris Kattan isn’t a bad reward either.

NBC gives new meaning to the phrase “green screen” next week, spreading a pro-environmental message across five of its prime-time entertainment programs.
“30 Rock,” where Al Gore takes a cameo role, leads the way. Environmental themes were also added to the scripts of “The Biggest Loser,” “The Office,” “Heroes” and “Community.”
NBC Universal’s three-year “green” campaign has largely focused on off-camera issues like making company facilities more eco-friendly. News and information programs have also been enlisted to do stories on environmental issues, but except for one “30 Rock” episode two years ago, the campaign hasn’t touched the prime-time lineup.

In the comedy “Community,” the college is renamed “Environdale.” College students think they’re hiring the band Green Day for a gig, and instead gets the Celtic combo Greene Daeye.
