CTC-CENTRIC ENTERTAINMENT TIP OF THE WEEK
‘Community's' Halloween Episode Tonight
Perhaps you've never seen an episode of NBC's 'Community', now in its second season (quite likely, since the show is criminally underrated), but if you only watch one Halloween episode this year, you should make it this one (8:30 p.m. NBC). Besides, this episode has zombies, and Ken Jeong in skintight Spandex; what more could you ask for from a TV show?
