So, Community. Yeah. I've watched all three seasons, and this isn't a spoilery thing to say really, but Community is not a show to watch in a shippy way if you are serious about shipping. Not that the show doesn't take it seriously, but that the show is doing something else. And not that the show might not end up with Jeff/Annie—I honestly have no idea—but the show is interested in other things. You know that episode where Abed says they're like a family except that they're not actually a family which means that any of them could hook up at any time and they all look at each other? It's more like that. And not to tease the audience or be mean about it, but more like the characters are trying things on: what would this look like? What would that look like?

So it isn't what you say, that they are on purpose stamping over the romantic interests from the first season. It's more that the show is not interested particularly in building a romantic subplot, and rather will allow stuff to happen or not happen. I don't mean that this happens without intent, or that they are toying with the audience, it's just—it's not what the show is doing.

BUT there's quite a lot of fanwork, if that would make you feel better?
